CONSULTING
PROTECTING YOUR MOST EXPENSIVE ASSET
ACRC offers a wide range of consulting services including visual condition surveys, roof replacement plans and specifications, contract administration, quality assurance inspections, roof maintenance plans, and more.
ROOF ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Having a roof maintenance program is a proven way to save money over the lifetime of a roof. Roof Asset Management Programs take a proactive versus reactive approach to protect your building’s most expensive asset. ACRC has expertise in inspection and quality assurance that general maintenance personnel does not. Having access to documentation that meets insurance, manufacturer warranty, and FEMA guidelines is an important service that it provides.
WE ARE THE INDUSTRY EXPERTS
Having that extra layer of support from our experienced team of consultants is like adding stronger knots to your safety belt. ACRC has an in-depth understanding of all commercial roofing codes because we have influenced how they have evolved over the years. We are here to help you and your team understand how the latest codes should be applied; not only to pass inspection but also for their original intent, to protect life and property.
FINDING OPTIONS
ACRC has knowledge and experience with every type of commercial roof system, material, product, application, and process, along with the latest technology. When you face issues as small as how to apply a code in an unusual situation or as big as a million-square foot re-roof with serious life safety issues, ACRC is the place to go to solve those problems.
MAKING SMARTER DECISIONS
Our solutions often give our clients more possibilities than they could have imagined. Consider any property and the roof is its most expensive asset, it protects everything! Making the right decisions, informed decisions, is a big expense and responsibility. When you come to us for help, you are allowing us to share that responsibility.

• Alterations • Roof penetration
