The Project
RAM Building Consultancy was engaged to audit the roofing and waterproofing plans for a new build project, reviewing the specifications and designs provided by the architects and design team.
The Challenges
Previous new build projects had encountered issues with leaks and inappropriate roofing materials, prompting the client to involve RAM from the outset. The goal was to identify potential issues early on, before construction began, to prevent costly delays or repairs.
The Solution
Our team conducted desktop reviews of the specifications and drawings and attended meetings with the architects and design team. We identified and communicated concerns about material choices and design aspects that could cause issues, ensuring the project started with a more reliable plan.
The Results
The early involvement of RAM allowed the main contractors to revise the specifications, ensuring that the materials chosen were suitable and the roofing design was practical. This proactive approach reduced the risk of future problems, saving time and resources.
Services used:
The Specification Writing service was integral to this project. By reviewing and refining the plans and materials at the design stage, we ensured that the building’s roofing and waterproofing met the necessary standards. Our involvement helped address potential issues long before construction, reducing the risk of later complications and ensuring the project progressed smoothly.
