Prove your professionalism, avoid discussion
Do you recognize this?
- You make a good roof
- That gets you watertight
- And then, a few months later....
- Does leakage occur
- And the hassle begins: searching, pointing, costs
Loss of grip after delivery
After completion, a roofer often loses track of what happens to the roof. External parties install installations, solar panels or even a complete roof garden, without involving the roofer. This causes the original situation to change, while the responsibility often falls to the roofer in case of problems.
Discussions in the event of damage or leakage
When damage does occur, the client is often the first to point the finger at the roofer. Without objective evidence, it is difficult to prove that the roof was in order on completion. This leads to discussions, repair work and sometimes even unjustified claims. As a result, repair costs squeeze the margin and valuable time is lost. Moreover, every discussion about leakage or damage damages the relationship with the client and the image of the roofer, even when the cause actually lies elsewhere.
Save Time, Energy and Money
Impact
The consequences of this situation are significant. Any discussion of leakage or damage costs time and energy that cannot be spent on new projects. Repair work directly depresses margins and causes profitable jobs to yield less than planned. In addition, conflicts with clients can permanently damage the relationship: a client who doubts the quality of the work is less likely to return for the next tender. The image of the roofer also comes under pressure. Even if the cause of a problem is ultimately not with the roof, the image that "something was wrong with the roof" often lingers. This combination of lost margin, diminished customer loyalty and image damage poses a structural risk to any roofing company.
Solution
The solution lies in making visible what normally remains hidden. By incorporating sensors during the construction or renovation of a roof, a continuous stream of data on moisture, temperature and humidity is created. This not only proves that the roof was in perfect condition upon completion, but also tracks how it behaves during the use phase. Deviations are spotted early on, allowing problems to be prevented rather than repaired afterwards. For the roofer, this means that discussions with clients are settled much more quickly and repair work and unjustified claims are avoided. At the same time, the role changes from executor to chain partner: someone who not only delivers a roof, but also provides insight, security and future-proofing.

"Until last fall, we informed clients and partners about expected roof behavior based on practical experience. Now we provide objective measurement data"

"We offer insight where there was never any insight"
'Roofs are increasingly being used as living space (roof gardens), the installation of PV panels and the collection and gradual discharge of rainwater (retention roofs). The roof is found space. But that also leads to enormous risks.'
