Roofing and
Waterproofing Technology in the 21st Century-A Continuing Education
Seminar
As we enter the 21st
century, significant issues face the roofing industry such as
labor shortages, environmental concerns and the depletion of natural
resources. Paragon Roofing Technology offers seminars which focus
on technical analysis and optimal solutions to pertinent issues
relating to roofing technology. We present an independent analysis
of conventional and unconventional commercial roof systems and
materials based on experience obtained from hundreds of roof investigations
and material testing studies. Paragon seminars emphasize what
to look for in design review and guidelines for proper application
procedures. These seminars also examine the prevention of waterproofing
failures, which can be more expensive to rectify than any other
building component failure. "Roofing and Waterproofing Technology
in the 21st Century" is a valuable learning tool for architects,
building owners, facility managers and industry professionals
and can be used to earn AIA continuing education points. Arrangements
can be made for Paragon to present privately to your organization.
Progressive
Roof Management-A Seminar for Roofing Contractors
Roof maintenance expenditures
throughout the life of a structure generally exceed 60%. This
statistic is prodding more building owners to realize the importance
of proper roof maintenance. It is also an opportunity for roofing
contractors to benefit by establishing repair and maintenance
departments, in order to implement Progressive Roof Management
Programs.
Maintenance departments
are typically smaller and operate independently from a company's
primary roofing operation. These departments handle all of a company's
leak repairs and service related items such as, completing punch-list
items, installing flashing at new curbs and installation of additional
vents and drains. These tasks do not require a full crew, usually
three to four workers. Through proper management and innovative
marketing, the maintenance sector of a company can be highly profitable
and has the potential to generate additional work. The Progressive
Roof Management Program ensures building owners that small problems
are fixed in a timely manner, eliminating the potential for much
larger and costlier repairs and extending the service life of
a roof system. In addition, all manufacturer warranties require
building owners to perform annual roof maintenance.
This seminar is designed
to educate roofing contractors about how to establish and run
the most profitable, effective Roof Management Programs possible.
All phases of the Roof Management Program are outlined from the
establishment of a maintenance program, through inspection, to
proper service life extension repair procedures for all commercial
low-slope roof materials and systems.
