Hurricane exposed coastal states require high FM rated roofing with dense attachment, and a roofing subcontractor that cannot watch the region misses fitting bids and misreads the uplift requirement.
What coastal FM rated roofing sets
Roofing packages across the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, posted on state and local portals and through general contractors, require high FM Global wind uplift ratings, product approval in some states, and dense attachment driven by the wind zone. The package sets the membrane, the FM rating, and the attachment the roofing sub must install.
Why this scope is easy to misprice
The required FM wind uplift rating, the product approval, and the attachment density sit in the Division 07 specifications and the wind provisions, not the title. A sub that misreads the rating carries the wrong attachment and labor into the bid.
How an AI bid agent reads coastal roofing
An AI bid agent monitors the coastal state portals and GC channels, reads each roofing package, and surfaces the membrane, the FM rating, the product approval, and the attachment. The roofing sub prices the actual system.
