ROOF EXPERTISE & ROOF MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

For building owners and managers who want to get an overall view of the roof condition of their buildings

• Condition of each roof section
• Thermography
• Water infiltration
• Complete and detailed report

A roof expertise or a roof maintenance management program will help building owners and managers preserving their assets over time, planning oncoming complete roof renovation work as well as planning urgent or maintenance repair work in order to extend the life expectancy of the roof and avoid any water infiltration in the premises.

Other services can be offered could be required during or after the implementation of a roof expertise or a roof maintenance management program, such as (please see our other services for more detail) :

• Thermography
• Preparation of tender documents (plans, specifications and details from our architect partners)
• Expertise on the causes of water infiltrations
• Work monitoring

We suggest to perform the followings steps :

• Collect technical data (date of construction, recurrent issues/damages observed, available documentation) from the building owner/manager
• Identify apparent damages to the components (often related to lack of maintenance, faulty water drainage design, inadequate repair over years, etc.)
• Perform a complete roof inspection
• Identify, quantify and evaluate the condition of all the roof components, such as:
  • Membrane
  • Flashings
  • Drainage
  • Repair work
  • Roof equipments
• Perform additional inspection methods to validate observations, such as :
  • Exploratory cuts
  • Thermography
  • Water tests
  • Lab analysis
  • Input from our engineers or architects partners
• Produce a complete roof maintenance management report summarizing collected observations/data during roof inspection, including the following
  • Description of the premises
  • Observations and photos
  • Detailed 11” x17” plans of the area studied (roof plan, facade plan, elevation, etc.)
  • Analysis, discussion
  • Life expectancy of components
  • Complete technical recommendation for short to long term solutions
  • Budgetary evaluation of the recommended work
  • A series of technical sub-reports including :
    • Type of roof and composition, for a eventual complete renovation or for repair purposes
    • Roof section area and date of construction
    • Roof sections under which water infiltrations occur
    • 5-to-10 year complete roof renovation program, including budgetary estimate and technical scope-of-work
    • 2-year repair and maintenance program, including budgetary estimate and technical scope-of-work
