Roof Surveys Save Money

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Time is money. It’s a phrase that you will likely have heard repeatedly in business, but it is true. It is especially true in the building sector when project delays can significantly diminish the income a company receives for a project. Therefore, many builders are keen to complete projects as quickly as possible for financial reasons but there is also an issue with respect to quality and service.

Clients want builders to complete projects as quickly as possible, but they also need the work to be completed to the highest possible standard, within reason, for the money. There is a balance between time and quality, and there is often a compelling argument for builders to take more time over a project to ensure that lofty standards are met.

Roof surveys are an essential component of building projects

Therefore, a roof survey should be an essential component of building projects. Carrying out a roof survey will delay a project but carrying out an accurate and thorough inspection of a roof pays for itself very quickly. If there is damage or potential problems with a roof, the sooner it is found, the better.

While you may think that the time or cost of a roof survey is a problem for firs, think about the amount of time you would lose or the amount of money that must be paid in roofing repairs and fees if the roof is damaged. There is also the fact that a damaged roof could also significantly damage a building firm’s reputation, which could lead to a loss of work. The bad publicity surrounding low quality work or problems which arise later could damage a firm significantly or even ensure they don’t receive more orders.

Roof surveys offer value for money

With these outcomes to consider, it is only natural that many firms will start to consider roof surveys to be of excellent value and importance. There are several roof surveys to consider, and it is important that firms know the difference and that they know which roof survey is the right option for their needs.

Examples of roof surveys you can choose from include:

• A visual roof survey carried out by a trained professional
• An extended camera survey where the height or angle of the roof may make it difficult to view
• A Mewp survey which relies on a mobile elevating platform to allow safe access to the roof
• An inspection carried out by a drone with recording capabilities and is then viewed by professionals
• Core sampling where cutting tools extract sample of the roof to identify where and why moisture is being maintained by a roof
• Thermal cameras using infra-red technology to spot trapped moisture, areas that have been poorly insulated or where leaks are most likely to occur
• Detecting leaks with the use of electronic detection equipment
• Probes and scanning for moisture

Depending on the style, age and location of the roof, some of these tests may be more suitable than others. Working with experts to find the most suitable roof survey makes sense and at H.I.C.H. LTD, we are fully committed to ensuring you work to the best of your abilities.
