ROOF EXPERTISE & ROOF MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

For building managers and owners who want to obtain a complete roof condition report

• Condition of each roof tank
• Thermography
• Water infiltration
• Full, detailed report

Carrying out a roof assessment or establishing a planned roof maintenance management program will enable building owners and managers to maintain assets, plan repairs and renovations according to a defined budget and schedule, extend the life expectancy of components and prevent water infiltration.

Other services may be offered as part of a roof assessment or as part of the development of a planned roof maintenance management program (see our other services for details):

• Thermography
• Preparation of tender documents (plans, specifications, construction details, technical data sheets, etc.) with the involvement of our partner architects
• Assessment of the causes of water infiltration
• Work supervision

We suggest the following steps :

• Gather relevant information (construction date, recurring problems, available documentation, etc.).
• Identification of visible damage to roof components (often caused by poor flashing installation, poor assembly sequence, surface water run-off management, inadequate repair work, etc.).
• Complete survey/inspection of building roofs
• Identification, quantification and assessment of the condition of the components studied, including :

• Membrane
• Flashings and upstands
• Drain
• Repair work
• Roofing equipment

• Carrying out any additional expert assessments to validate our observations or clarify the scope of work, in particular :

• Exploratory cuts
• Thermography
• Water tests
• Laboratory analysis
• Involvement of partner engineers or architects

• Drafting of a planned roof maintenance management program describing our expertise and including the following information:

• Site description
• Observations and photos
• Any explanatory sketch for better understanding
• Detailed plans in 11″ x 17″ format describing the surveyed areas
• Analysis, discussion
• Life expectancy of components studied
• Complete technical recommendations (urgent, short, medium or long term) based on a priority scale
• Budget estimate for recommended work
• A series of technical sub-reports including:

• • • Roof type and assembly composition, useful for planning renovation or repair work
    • Basin surface area and date of assembly construction
    • Roof sections under or in which water infiltration is active or suspected
    • Cost projection for complete rehabilitation over a 5 to 10-year period
    • Full repair cost projection over a 2-year horizon
