The environment in which a roof system will be exposed is an important consideration in roof system design. Built-up roofing, or a polymer-modified bitumen or single-ply roof membrane can prematurely age when there is not chemical compatibility with its surroundings. Rooftop exhaust, prior roof systems and the rooftop activities of other trades all can affect whether a roof system functions properly.
Indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the federal government present a revenue opportunity for roofing contractors. An IDIQ contract is used for multiple projects--the quantity, cost and other details are not specified at the time of the contract award, but beyond a specified minimum and maximum amount for services and supplies, the government can reward quality contractors with additional projects.
The roofing industry gives willingly and generously in times of need.
