Choosing the right flat roof system can be challenging but ask the right questions and you’re halfway there. This CPD walks architects and specifiers through a Flat Roof Checklist which incorporates the key questions a roofing specialist would ask an architect during the design process. Finding the answers will help create a seamless process from the start to the finish.The questions in the CPD checklist cover the essential fundamentals such as the roof design, lifespan of the building and roof, what guarantee is offered before moving on to design factors, how to incorporate sustainability and what to consider during the installation.The CPD then looks at the aesthetics of the roof and ensures technical details such as correct drainage, meeting u-values and upstand heights work for the space. It will also address the important question of cost and how to maximise the budget.Along the way we also address UK British Standards & Codes of Practice and what to expect from suppliers.

This seminar looks at the roof specification and design process to ensure maximum longevity when specifying liquid waterproofing systems. It sets out a step-by-step process to help you arrive at the best solution, looking at how to establish the client’s brief, how to ensure compliance, with advice on British Standards and Codes of Practice, and how to make the right cost decisions. Project examples show how to choose the best liquid product for your project. The CPD also addresses common problems with detailing, compatibility, and interfaces, and how to avoid them. This CPD will help you to understand the following topics:- Design considerations - How to establish the client’s brief- How to ensure compliance with British Standards and Codes of Practice- How to choose the best roofing system for the job- Roofing options and when to specify liquid waterproofing solutions- Green roofing solutions- What support to expect from suppliers- Detailing, compatibility and interfaces.This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

Roof Refurbishment: A Guide to Best Practice will walk specifiers and architects through the areas they need to consider when taking on a refurbishment project. Each stage will walk the designer through the correct approach starting with understanding what is causing the flat roof to fail. This will look at determining the problem through a roof survey, the different problems that can cause a roof to fail and how to find out the extent of the damage. The CPD will then look at how different elements on the roof will impact on how to approach the refurbishment project before looking at the entire build up design from the deck to the membrane. Along the way the CPD will cover fire regulations, the Building Safety Act and other legislation relevant to roof work and refurbishment projects. Finally, the CPD will look at ways to enhance the roof while undertaking the work and what to expect from suppliers.This seminar is about best practice in roof refurbishment. It will help you to:Understand how to assess the condition of a refurbishment roofKnow what different factors on the roof determine key decisions in the roof replacementLearn how to determine the correct build-up of the roof - from the bottom upUnderstand how the correct design and installation of a roof can result in a successful outcomeAn understanding of compliance with British Standards and relevant legislationWhat support to expect from suppliers

This seminar equips the specifier with better knowledge of hard metal roofing and cladding systems. It explains and provides guidance on the following topics.- Hard metal roof construction methods- The range of hard metal options available and the benefits of zinc, copper and stainless steel- Hard metal specification and defining the client’s brief- The role that the manufacturer or distributor can fulfil from the point of specification to installation and guarantee- How to factor out common problems through best practiceThis CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

What To Consider When Specifying Solar PV adopts a step-by-step approach to the key considerations a specifier or architect will need to take when considering adding a PV array to the flat roof on their project. The CPD will examine why a project needs solar panels and how to determine the amount of electricity your PV array needs to generate through the building's purpose. The presentation will then look at how you can ensure your PV array meets expectations through correct design measures, analysing solar potential and minimising shade risk.Finally, the CPD will explore the best practice approach to the roof design especially when working on a refurbishment project.
