Rooftop Quality Assurance is a two-day course for professionals interested in observation to help

and challenging aspects of roofing as encountered in the field and is ideal for roofing material
manufacturers, general contractors, quality assurance observers, and field inspectors. Course
participants will receive objective and knowledgeable insight to the field of Roof Observation and
role delineation for the observer. Additionally, the course will help prepare participants to provide
an independent measure of quality, assist with project communications, and coordination.
Successful students will also be able to apply roofing technology to the observer function.
Instructors cover fundamentals of quality assurance, component assembly and quality practice
guidelines for a variety of roofing systems, including: Role of the Roof Observer, Construction
Contract Documents, Daily Reports, Low-Slope Roofing Spray-Applied Foam, Steep-Slope Roofing,
