Build a scope that owners can compare
For a shared roofing project, a total price alone leaves important questions unanswered. Which buildings are included? What happens at adjoining roofs, walls and gutters? How will concealed deck damage be handled? We help establish these details in the proposed scope.
Existing condition reports, roof plans and repair records are useful starting points. If the project is being considered by a strata council, appointing a contact for questions and site access helps keep the information consistent as owners review their options.
- Identify the buildings and roof sections being priced.
- List roofing, flashings and related exterior items.
- Make allowances and additional-work arrangements clear.
Consider the people using the property
A roofing project needs a workable plan for deliveries, removal and access around the building. Tell us about shared parking, frequently used entrances, tenant needs and areas that must remain accessible. We review the work area before agreeing to a schedule.
For a multi-building property, discuss the proposed sequence and resident communications early. A written scope and agreed contact arrangement give owners a reference for what is happening, where it is happening and which decisions require their input.
Use the repair history to guide the next decision
If water has appeared in more than one unit or the same area has been repaired repeatedly, collect those details together. Looking at the reports together helps us define the assessment and identify the areas that need to be reviewed.
We consider roofing condition and the relevant flashings, skylights, drainage and nearby roof connections. Recommendations may involve targeted repairs, further assessment or a replacement scope. We explain the proposed approach and the condition of the roofing that would remain.
- Record where and when water was first noticed.
- Provide photographs and earlier invoices where available.
- Discuss related gutters and downspouts within the assessment.
