The Canadian Roofing Contractors Association, International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants and NRCA have released Roofing Project Submittal and Protocol Guidelines.
The cooperative document provides guidelines for specifying roofing project submittals on a project-specific basis and discusses protocols for handling project submittals during projects’ design, prebid, bidding, preconstruction, construction and closeout phases. Three appendixes provide checklists for contractors, owners and specifiers, and a fourth appendix lists sample forms.
NRCA and the Roof Consultants Institute (now IIBEC) published the first edition of the document in 2004. The new edition is intended to update and supersede the first edition; reflect changes in construction and roofing practices and project procedures; and acknowledge the similarities and differences between U.S. and Canadian practices.
Roofing Project Submittal and Protocol Guidelines is available free of charge in English and French on NRCA's website and at roofingcanada.com and iibec.org.
