How to deliver on flat roof refurbishment projects


Clients are constantly trying to make the smartest investment, presenting surveyors with the challenge of delivering predictable project costs and providing precise technical data to enable clients to make the correct decision. Bauder explores how to deliver cost certainty and client savings on flat roof refurbishment projects.


W


ith building owners looking to make the smartest investment when maintaining or upgrading buildings, surveyors are required to deliver robust solutions, predictable project costs and precise


supporting technical data. Obtaining this information can often be challenging, especially when trying


to detect the extent of any roof issues through a visual assessment. Utilising a variety of differing diagnostic methods however can generate specific data on a roof ’s actual condition, creating a comprehensive survey report and specification for the end client. A moisture mapping survey scientifically verifies the specific levels and locations of moisture within any existing waterproofing system. From this


testing method the true condition of the roof is identified, plotted, and a visual data report produced that determines the remedial action needed. This appraisal is an exact scientific survey which provides explicit data on the roof ’s actual condition.


COST CERTAINTY Using a moisture mapping survey report, a surveyor is able to provide clients with the data gained, proving the extent of the works required and proposals for waterproofing options with correct costings. In this way, the client is assured that they are making investment decisions based on fact rather than on subjective opinions.
