Process information that roofing contractors and builders need to know (to save time and hassle)
Collaborate with professionals, so any challenges are overcome early
Re roofing projects can vary in complexity, so working closely with your engineer from the start in turn ensures a smooth building approval. Engineering and certification processes relate to the whole structure (not just the roof system.)
Site and engineering plans are required to get the approvals process started.
Once the building approval is issued, re roofing work can begin.
When the construction is complete, schedule the final inspection (certifier).
Once all documentation is received, a Form 21 can be issued to finalise the project.
