Roof Design & Specifications provide the analysis, design, and project administration services required to obtain the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for our client's roofing problems.

• System Analysis:  A complete roof analysis of the existing roof system is completed to establish the required scope of work, including the satisfaction of design requirements that are in support of our clients business goals and objectives.  Dependent upon the existing construction and its condition, additional analysis utilizing methods like non-destructive moisture survey, deck survey and various environmental analysis may be required.
  
  
• System Selection:  Potential systems are reviewed and a selection made after weighing our clients input, management objectives and our analysis of the existing system.  IRS then provides an opinion of probable cost to execute the finalized, agreed upon project scope.
  
  
• Bidding Documents:  Detailed project specifications are developed for the purpose of securing competitive bids on the selected roof system.  As to be built perimeter and projection drawings are provided to reduce costly change orders during construction.  All IRS specifications are developed to ensure a manufacturer's warranty and to provide a competitive bidding situation among contractors and material manufacturers.
  
  
• Contractor Selection:  Our involvement with a variety of roofing systems provides us with a good selection of contractors in most of the country.  IRS can assist our client in selecting a group of qualified contractors to bid on the roof system being specified.
  
  
• Pre-Bid Conference:  For each project, a representative of IRS conducts a pre-bid meeting to review the projects scope of work, including miscellaneous site conditions with the prospective bidders and an owner's representative.  This meeting ensures an understanding of the project documents by on-site personnel and the bidders.
  
  
• Pre-Construction Meeting:   For each project, a representative of IRS conducts a pre-construction meeting with the contractor's foreman and the owner's representative to review job-site conditions and project documents to clarify and resolve any questions before the start of construction.
  
  
• Job Progress Observations:  Our involvement in this phase of the project varies from weekly to full-time reviews, depending on the complexity of the job, the roofing contractor involved, and the needs and interests of our client.
  
  
• Observation for Final Approval:  Every project is reviewed by a qualified representative of IRS prior to the final payment.  This review is not in lieu of a manufacturer's warranty inspection.
