Roof packages often require a manufacturer warranty installed by an approved applicator, and a roofing subcontractor that does not read the warranty terms can be ineligible or underprice the system.
What warranty and approval terms set
Roofing specifications frequently require a manufacturer's no dollar limit or system warranty, which only an approved applicator can provide, and an inspection by the manufacturer. The Division 07 specifications set the warranty term, the approved applicator requirement, and the inspection the roofing sub must satisfy.
Why warranty terms are easy to miss
The warranty term, the approved applicator requirement, and the manufacturer inspection sit in the Division 07 specifications, not the title. A sub that is not an approved applicator is ineligible, and one that misreads the warranty underprices the system and the inspection.
How an AI bid agent flags warranty terms
An AI bid agent reads each roofing package, flags the warranty and manufacturer approval terms, and surfaces the warranty, the approved applicator requirement, and the inspection that decide eligibility and cost. The roofing sub prices the actual system.
