What goes into a specification
- System choice and the reasons for it: TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal or a coating
- Tear-off vs. recover, deck repairs and insulation
- Attachment method, edge metal, flashing and drainage details
- Manufacturer warranty requirements to put in the bid documents
- Code and wind-uplift requirements that apply to the building, as confirmed by the design professional where one is required
- Submittals, inspections during the job, and closeout documents
Bid review and oversight
We can review bids against the spec, answer contractor questions, and inspect the work during installation so what gets built matches what was specified.
Where a project requires a licensed engineer or architect, our specification work supports theirs; it doesn't replace it.
