Rapid Roof Lifter provides the total package, with a proven process that can cut costs by sixty-percent! Here’s what you can expect during your roof lift project.
What Happens Before Your Roof Lift?
Initial Assessment - We start by evaluating your current building's structure, roof condition, and local building codes and regulations. We work with you to determine the specific need and capacity for additional space, such as more storage, production, or office space. We remain available throughout your evaluation and planning process to answer your questions and assist you with decision making.
Engineering Consultation - Our structural engineers fully assess your project, taking into account the building's structural integrity and load-bearing capacity as well as expansion goals. Next we design your roof lift to the exact specifications required to maximize your building’s potential. We also consider the type of roof lift, such as a full lift or partial lift, depending on your needs and budget.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance - We help you obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities, including zoning, building, and safety regulations. Additionally we ensure compliance with environmental regulations and any historic preservation requirements if applicable.
Budget and Financing - We create a detailed budget quote that covers all aspects of the project, including design, construction, and potential unforeseen costs. Most of the time we can deliver your quote in as little as a few hours! We can do this based on historical data collected from our previous jobs and our many years of experience.
During Your Roof Lift Project
Construction Process - Our process is the safest and fastest available for roof lifts, providing minimal interruption to your business. We ensure proper safety measures throughout the construction process, as it involves significant structural changes. Rapid Roof Lifter columns are installed along with necessary structural steel. Structural bracing and siding is added as the roof is raised. Then the columns are welded in place after the roof is lifted to its final height.
Utility Considerations - We plan ahead for utilities like HVAC, electrical, and plumbing to be extended to the new space, tying into your current utilities. We will update or install new systems as needed to support your expanded area.
Interior Layout - As part of the engineering process, we design the interior layout to maximize the capacity of the new space, considering the specific needs of your business operations.
Quality Control - We are on-site to implement a robust quality control process, ensuring that your roof lift meets all desired standards and safety regulations.
After Your Roof Lift
Inspection - After the roof lift is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection with you to confirm the structural integrity and safety of the new space.
Occupancy and Operations - Once you obtain the necessary approvals and permits, you can typically move into the expanded space and resume operations immediately.
Future Considerations - Our process preserves the possibility of further future expansions or improvements to make even more of your investment.
