Overview: Successful roofing management relies on a strategy that features planning, regular inspections and timely follow-through. Rare is the organization in which roofing funds flow like water. Most maintenance and engineering managers face the quandary of too many problem roofs for the money available. The problem might well be a lack of money, but it could it also be the lack of a coherent roof management plan. Most managers in commercial and institutional facilities agree, in theory, that regular inspections are an essential part of a roof asset management program. They also would recognize and agree with the basic roof management tenet that regular inspections and routine maintenance reduce ownership costs, reduce leak frequency and severity, extend roof life, and reduce management inefficiencies. The temptation in beginning a roofing program is to jump right in and start filling pitch pans. This would be a definite improvement over no roof management effort at all, however, but the best first step is for managers to take an inventory of roofs under their care.
