1. Roof Evaluation

Comprehensive roof evaluations are essential for identifying improvements to reduce long-term roofing expenditures and increase the service life of a roof. The key evaluation services provided include:

  • Identifying the client's goals and requirements for the roof
  • Reviewing the historical information and performance of the existing roof system
  • Assessing the current roof conditions, identifying any deficiencies, and determining the underlying causes
  • Performing a detailed moisture survey to detect any hidden issues
  • Thoroughly documenting the roof's condition through photographs and other documentation
  • Providing recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or replacement to address the identified issues
  • Prioritizing the needs and developing a comprehensive five-year budget and management plan for the roof

By conducting a thorough roof evaluation, building owners and facility managers can make informed decisions to optimize the performance and longevity of their roof systems, while also managing long-term costs effectively.

4. Facility Condition Analysis

A comprehensive facility condition assessment is an essential tool for understanding the current state of a facility, identifying maintenance needs, and developing a strategic plan for preserving the asset over the long term.

Here are the key points about facility condition assessments (FCAs) and how the evaluation of the roof system completes the assessment:

  • Analyze the physical condition of a facility, focusing on design, construction methods, and materials.
  • Identify maintenance issues and recommend repairs or replacements in a facility condition assessment (FCA).
  • Provide an asset inventory, necessary repair tasks with estimated costs, and a prioritized investment plan in the roof evaluation report.
  • Leverage FCA findings to plan capital improvements, prioritize repairs, and justify funding requests.
  • Conduct regular FCAs (e.g., every 5 years) to track facility conditions and make informed management decisions.
