[heading-style-h4]Why replacement scope needs detail[heading-style-h4]

‍

A roof replacement is one of the larger capital decisions a building owner can make. The scope should explain not only the membrane choice, but also the details that affect performance: drainage, insulation, flashings, penetrations, and edge metals.

When scope is vague, bids become hard to compare. One contractor may include preparation and details that another leaves out. That difference can change both price and risk.

• Penetrations, RTUs, parapets, edge metals, and access points.
• Weather-aware phasing and daily dry-in approach.
