Commercial roofs are a delicate part of the building and when it comes to building

inspection, authorities tend to be stricter than when they are checking residential roofing.

As a backgrounder, there are five main considerations when it comes to standard roofing.

These are energy-efficiency, environment-smart, endurance, economic, and it passes

engineering standards.

Energy-efficiency

It qualifies for local energy credits or tax breaks.

It promotes energy-efficiency.

It has approval from energy regulating bodies.

Environment-smart

The roof passes green building

certifications and standards.

It has a system or material life-cycle

analysis.

The roofing material is recyclable.

The manufacturer has a post-

consumer recycling program.

The roofing system contributes to the

moderation of interior temperatures

during summer and winter.

The system promotes good indoor air

quality.

Endurance

The manufacturer and contractor

have good reputations.

They inspect the roof after

installation.

They have local references for this

specific roofing system.

The contractor’s staff is well trained,

licensed and supervised at the job

site.

They train and monitor contractors

and grade every installation project.

The manufacturer and contractor

warranties cover the entire roofing

system and installation flaws.

The warranty includes coverage for

consequential damages.

If this type of roof has failed in the

past, what were the reasons?

How often are repairs and routine

maintenance necessary?

Economic

The contractor and manufacturer provide a life-cycle cost analysis stating the true

long-term cost of the system.

What are the custom, prefabricated roofing system performance, cost, and

environmental gains?

How much is the estimated maintenance and repair cost per year?

This system does not require tear-off and disposal at the end of its utility life.

Engineering Design

This is the best roofing system for the roof deck.

The drainage has been adequately designed to ensure water runoff.

The roof meets all local roofing code specifications.

The roofing material is fire resistant.

The manufacturer provides the highest density reinforcement scrim for superior

strength performance.

It pays to have commercial roofs evaluated before the actual inspection. With this,

business owners are ensured to have their roofing inspection approved without delay and

hassle.
