New build flat roof solutions
Our range of waterproofing systems, green roofs, blue roofs and solar PV solutions can be used on all new build flat roofs with some systems lending themselves to a particular project depending on specific requirements.
Specifying the right solution
For new build projects, our range of waterproofing systems can be used with some systems lending themselves to a particular project depending on the design, cost, planning requirements, sustainability focus and life expectancy.
Our solutions extend beyond the waterproofing system to embrace green roofs, blue roofs and solar PV to ensure that you have a single source for all the roof components, and that everything is compatible and covered by our guarantee.
Need to meet planning conditions?
Projects can often be required by planning to include an element of green roof with vegetation or recreational space, blue roof capacity for SuDS, or photovoltaics for energy generation. Our design team will support you through all the considerations required for the inclusion of these upgrades whilst also creating a scheme that safeguards the underlying Bauder waterproofing.
Why architects and building designers choose us
Clients choose us because of the way in which we do business, the way we treat every project individually, and how we work alongside customers, contractors, and all relevant stakeholders from project inception through to completion to deliver the best solution for a building.
Our proficient solutions complement your creative work, and we supply everything from waterproofing, insulation, green roof finish, blue roof components, and energy generation with our solar PV from a single source to give you peace of mind that the roof you design is delivered just as you expect.
We ensure the new build roof specification we generate for you meets the needs of the building and project stakeholders and will confirm the suitability of the solution to each roof area.
CCPI assessed product information
We have adopted the new Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) across our roofing portfolio to have information assessed for accuracy and clarity to ensure specifiers can rely on the information when selecting a Bauder RBM solution.
Your project commands our attention
We assist the principal designer with the configuration of the design and detailing for the flat roof, write the specifications and recommend suitable approved contractors to tender for the project. The service is without charge, and we work with you to ensure your roof specification meets all your needs.
Working with you
We work with you to understand your needs and those of the building to ensure your specification is right, including:
Our service to you
We deliver specialist technical support to you in the design and specification of the flat roof on your new build project, including:
Six steps is all it takes
We pride ourselves on being more than just a manufacturer and supplier. Our single-point service ensures your roof design and installation is cohesive to reduce risk. Our technical support is on hand throughout the entirety of the project and continues beyond the final inspection and issue of the guarantee.
Brief and consultation
You give us your remit either at your office or on-site. We will discuss the roofing project, your preferred system application, your budget and how the programme of work can be formulated.
Roof element proposal
Together we can determine which roofing system and specific build up will be optimal for each individual roof area on your new build project given the construction type, level of access and required performance.
Specification and detail design
You will receive the Bauder specification package that answers your brief and meets the needs of the building. As a specialist designer for our solutions, we work with the Principal Designer to include relevant standard detail drawings and other technical calculations.
Contractor selection
The Bauder approved contractors best placed to deliver your new roof will competitively price and tender for your project. Our national network of contractors undergo a rigorous selection process and their installers are trained specifically in the application of our systems, so you are ensured an expert installation.
Installation of the roofing solution
Once the Bauder approved contractor has been appointed, a pre-contract meeting will make sure that the project delivery is well coordinated. The works are closely monitored by Bauder site technicians with regular inspections and live time reports to ensure the quality and waterproof integrity of the roof.
Sign off and guarantee
A full final inspection is completed by our site technician team before the guarantee is issued.
Bauder’s service doesn’t just stop once the roof installation has been completed, we provide industry-leading guarantees on our products that are installed by our national network of approved contractors.
Waterproofing systems and environmental solutions
There is a Bauder waterproofing solution for every flat roof situation, whether the membrane coverings are bituminous-based, plastic or resinous.
To ensure all flat roofs maximise the roof space to support the environment, it is important to consider how a green roof, blue roof or solar PV can be incorporated, and we can help with all three.
