We assist you with the following important details, whether it involves a new design or a retrofit, if you are a home owner, architectural designer or builder.

o overall vision
o added weight of a green roof
o roof drain and drain placement
o roof slope
o roof insulation package
o vegetation free zones
o skylights and other roof penetrations
o access points
o green roof materials
o maintenance
o materials life span & end of life value

o assess what the roof is expected to be used for, what cost would be involved to add the envisioned elements, and assess if these added cost are supported in the budget

o evaluate what would be necessary to bring structural support to the level that it can support the added load of a green roof, and assess if these added cost are supported in the budget.

o evaluate if the placement and size of roof drains are in line with the requirements and if the locations supports the green roof drainage materials

o ensure the roof has sufficient slope for proper drainage of the green roof (puddles should be avoided at all times)

o determine if a standard or inverted roof system would be best for the situation. We advise what insulation material should be used, and how this insulation should be placed considering the incorporation of compartments in the roof's construction.

o advice on where vegetation free zones should be in place, and what size they should be
o advice on the structural requirements & dimensions you should consider when installing skylights in a green roof

o advice on where to create access points and how to plan for window and door installations
o advice on what materials should be used for the green roofing including why those materials should be used, and a budgeting indication.

o advice on the maintenance requirements for the chosen materials

o advice on the predicted lifespan of the chosen materials, and the value at the end of its life & the marketability of materials at end of life, as green roofs have value, even at the end of the roof useful life
