Description
Roof systems play a crucial role in the overall functionality and longevity of buildings. Poor design and lack of proper maintenance can lead to significant financial losses and structural issues. As buildings evolve and roofing systems are increasingly utilized for additional purposes, understanding their design and upkeep has never been more critical. These impacts, combined with the increased use of roof surfaces for other building functions and the continued evolution of roofing products and environmental requirements, mean that roofs can no longer be considered "out of sight, out of mind."

Understanding how to maintain and manage roofing systems effectively can prevent costly repairs and ensure the long-term stability of your building. This course will give you insight into current best practices for roofing design, maintenance, and rehabilitation. You will also explore the latest industry standards and learn to make informed decisions that can save time and resources.

By taking this course, you will acquire the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of roofing systems and ensure that you can manage and maintain them efficiently.
