Industry Next To Housing
- Factory roofs need phasing. Operating plants are stripped bay by bay, with a plan of work and notification behind it.
- Housing stock is uniform. Streets built in one phase carry the same roofs, which makes grouped jobs worthwhile.
- Coastal suburbs weather faster. The Bluff and the beachfront suburbs see salt and wind that inland streets do not.
Price It The Right Way
Industrial and residential work are different trades priced on different bases. A factory owner should ask for a phased programme with access equipment and clearance broken out; a homeowner should ask for removal, disposal and the new roof as separate lines. Comparing a residential quote against an industrial one, or the other way round, tells you nothing.
