Insurance estimators, appraisers<\/a>, and adjusters of roofing claims should read the attached\u00a0partial specifications of a commercial roofing project. There has been some discussion of what a \u201creasonable\u201d cost should be, but I think most would require that the scope of a commercial roofing job involving insurance be one that is going to result in a \u201cquality\u201d job. So, how do you determine what a quality commercial roofing job would be? I suggest you would look at specifications that the construction industry has come up with to prevent non-quality work from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you find the specifications for quality construction? The\u00a0Construction Specifications Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Construction Specifications Institute is a national non-profit technical organization dedicated to the improvement of specifications and building practices in the construction industry through service, education, and research. Founded in 1948, CSI provides a forum for architects, engineers, designers, specification writers, contractors, manufacturer\u2019s representatives, suppliers, and all others in the construction industry. Membership is open to all who are involved in the built environment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Historically, the CSI helped ensure quality construction through standards of materials and methods of construction. I would encourage anybody who is in the insurance restoration business, as a restoration contractor or an individual who is somehow responsible for determining the scope of methods and materials to be used in a particular restoration project, to become intimately familiar with using the reference materials available from the CSI. I would also suggest that you contemplate\u00a0obtaining certification\u00a0from the Construction Specifications Institute as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.<\/strong><\/em>
