Do your roof systems make you money?
Q. How do you currently pay for your roofing
expenditures?
A. Through the profits made on products and/or
services.
The majority
of companies handle roofing issues with a “fix-it-when-needed
approach.” This
philosophy plays right into the hands of the roofing industry.
Roofing vendors use various marketing strategies and tactics to
manipulate companies into making uninformed decisions.
The inability of companies to prevent knee jerk reactions is
almost impossible. Companies are unable to incorporate day-to-day procedures
into a long-term strategy. Without
a long-term strategy, problems exponentially multiply and millions of
dollars are wasted annually. Take
the following example.
A manager has
approved a replacement on a facility.
The proposed material for the project is back ordered and the
project will be delayed. The
manager immediately reacts because of the project immediacy and
decides to go with another material suggested by manufacturer.
This roof system is completely different from the original and
offers different pros and cons. The manager has solved a short-term problem, but has
eliminated the long-term strategy.
In this
example, the manager has no justification to change the roofing
material, except time restraints.
The manager walks away with gratification of job completed
within his timeframe, and the company comes away with an inadequate
roof system, which becomes very costly in the near future.
This
type of example happens everyday in facility departments.
The “fix-it-when-needed approach” evolved because the
roofing industry ignores and is unwilling to provide long-term
customer based solutions. Roofing
People incorporates clients’ wants and needs, creating solutions to
justify what methods are the most cost effective, while producing both
short-term and long-term results.
So, how do you make money on your roof systems?
Simple, develop long-term strategies driven by quantitative
information. Then you
create consistencies and methods followed by efficient processes that
are streamlined. Roofing
People is the only company that delivers these processes while making
you money.
The
processes you choose to utilize will either set your roof systems up
to be liabilities or assets.
