When the time comes to repair or replace your commercial roof, chances are your tenants will be staying in your building while your contractor does the job. The project can cause some inconvenience, but the good news is that you can limit them and make the process less stressful for your tenants. Here are some proven tips:
Minimize Noise
Replacing a commercial roof can generate too much noise, which can be disruptive for tenants who are trying to work or rest. This can also drive away customers in the building.
Fortunately, there are a few simple ways you can reduce noise. For one, you can ask the crew to use their mobile devices or have them walk over to their colleagues whenever they need to discuss something. You should also avoid playing loud music during the construction.
Address Safety Concerns
Even though your roofing contractor is taking steps to avoid safety problems like falling debris, these can still be inevitable during the roof maintenance and replacement process. That said, you need to inform the tenants about this risk to avoid potential accidents. If your building has health and safety officers, it’s best to meet with them to discuss any safety protocol and address any concerns they would like to bring up.
Meet Your Deadlines
Lastly, it’s important to set and stick to the project schedule to minimize disruption to the tenants. Commercial roofs, after all, may require extensive work. Your contractor should be able to establish realistic timelines for roof inspection, maintenance and replacement. Plan regular meetings with the crew, and maintain an open line of communication to ensure that both parties are on the same page and avoid conflicts that could delay the project.
