NRCA PUTS KEY CONSTRUCTION DETAILS ON BUILDSITE Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has partnered with BuildSite to make its most important construction details available to BuildSite's audience of construction contractors and their suppliers. BuildSite will now include popular roof system construction details found in The NRCA Roofing Manual: Membrane Roof Systems, as well as frequently accessed waterproofing details found in The NRCA Waterproofing Manual, 2005 Edition. BuildSite will present the individual details as "category documents"—users will see them in the context of searches for products in BuildSite’s waterproofing and roofing categories, including Sheet Waterproofing, Bentonite Waterproofing, Metal Roofing, Built-Up, Membrane and Coated Foamed categories. "Designers and contractors have long considered NRCA as the definitive source for roofing and waterproofing details," comments Ned Trainor, president of BuildSite. "Our customers will be delighted to easily access them for submittals and job-site reference." NRCA Executive Vice President Bill Good says: "NRCA is delighted BuildSite has chosen to incorporate NRCA's most frequently used details in its products. Our goal, of course, is to see the details widely used in the industry, and BuildSite's initiative supports that goal."
