Scope and approach

Start with the roof assembly.

Bring the roof type shown in the project documents. We review all roof types for project fit; the proposal identifies the exact system and the materials and installation included.

  • Current roof plans, sections, details and roof schedule
  • Specified assembly, substrate, insulation and finish
  • Accessory, edge, flashing and drainage responsibilities

Define the interfaces.

Parapets, curbs, penetrations, drains and equipment supports cross trade boundaries. Identify who furnishes, installs, coordinates and approves each interface before procurement.

  • Deck and substrate readiness
  • Penetration locations and equipment coordination
  • Temporary protection, access and material staging

Let the specification govern.

Required performance, approvals, inspections and warranties belong in the project-specific review. Exact system availability, installer requirements and warranty terms must be verified for the proposed assembly before commitment.

What to bring.

  • What roof types and assemblies are specified, and which documents govern?
  • Which buildings, roof areas and phases are included?
  • Who owns deck readiness, drains, curbs, penetrations and temporary dry-in?
  • What approvals, inspection requirements and warranty documents are required?

Questions, answered

Before the next step.

Do you review more than one roof type?

Yes. Bring the specified roof type and assembly. Fit, availability, installation responsibilities and required approvals are confirmed for the individual project.

Can the bid include roof alternates?

List each alternate separately and provide its assembly and performance requirements. Pricing and acceptance must identify the selected basis; an alternate does not replace the specified base without approval.

What warranty can be included?

Warranty terms depend on the exact assembly, manufacturer requirements, installation scope and project conditions. Request the required terms with the bid package so they can be verified before a commitment is made.
