Where the Spec Hits the Deck
Reflections on Roofing and Waterproofing Design from My Years Serving the Manitoba Industry
Presentation Overview:
While successful projects can make the process appear straightforward, delivering roofing and waterproofing systems requires significant coordination from designers, manufacturers, and contractors. Join Amy Frank, Technical Director of the Roofing Contractors' Association of Manitoba, for a discussion on how design intent, project documentation, and roofing requirements come together in the field.
This presentation will explore practical steps in design and documentation that help contractors more accurately price and execute roofing projects, including assembly selection, spec coordination, and other factors that influence project delivery.
RCAM is Manitoba's commercial low-slope roofing and waterproofing association and the official provincial affiliate of the Canadian Roofing Contractors Association. By sharing industry perspectives, RCAM hopes to support strong documentation, reduce information requests and project changes, facilitate accurate pricing and smooth project execution, and contribute to the delivery of quality roofing systems.
