Advantages • Improves Aesthetics of Facility • Retrofit can be Installed Directly Over Existing Roof System • Eliminates cost of removal of existing roof • Building remains watertight • Interior of facility never exposed to elements of weather
Advantages • Low Life Cycle Cost • Use of Lightweight Framing System Avoids Load Issues • Structural analysis completed before design • System engineered to assure excellent resistance to negative wind uplift pressures

Trend in Commercial Roofing • The Design Build Delivery Method • The Design Build Process Gives an Owner One Single Point of Contact • Turn Key Delivery From Architectural and Engineering Design Through The Final Punch List
Trend in Commercial Roofing • Advantages of Design Build Process • Single Source Accountability • Design Build Firm is responsible for all aspects of the project • Accelerates Completion Dates • Specifications/Drawing completed in 10-14 days • Optimizes Project Efficiencies • Other trades can be included in the process
Trend in Commercial Roofing • Eliminates Change Orders and Cost Overruns • Firm price is determined at the onset of the project • Eliminates Re-Designs • Design-Builder is 100% accountable for all outcomes • Guarantees Specified Performance • Design-Builder guarantees project is delivered on time and in budget
