A modern, forward-thinking approach to flat roof waterproofing.
Technology plays a critical role in shaping how roofing projects are planned, executed, and maintained.
Tech-enabled providers are better equipped to deliver on cost efficiency, project speed, safety, and durability – factors that directly impact the value and longevity of a roof.
When selecting a roofing provider – whether for a new installation, replacement, or repairs – it's essential to consider their proficiency with key tools like Building Information Modelling (BIM), National Building Specification (NBS) and 3D deck roof surveys.
Let’s explore some of the technologies transforming the roofing landscape and why they should be on your radar.
One of the essential resources in the modern construction industry is Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM enhances collaboration among all project stakeholders – architects, designers, contractors, and site workers – by providing a shared platform for real-time information access and communication. This capability reduces errors and improves project cohesion.
Working with a provider like Axter, which integrates BIM into its services, can bring numerous advantages to your roofing project, including:
Another powerful technology reshaping roofing and construction is the National Building Specification (NBS). NBS provides cloud-based software that supports collaboration among architects, specifiers, and other professionals, making it easier to design, select materials, and manage building specifications.
Some of the advantages of working with a provider that uses NBS include:

3D technology can be used to tackle drainage challenges on flat roofs. Ponding water can cause long-term maintenance issues, so it’s important to ensure effective drainage.
Our 3D laser scanning creates a precise map of a roof surface, identifying any negative falls and calculating the exact amount of fill needed to eliminate water pooling. This targeted approach saves time, reduces costs, and ensures compliance with the latest standards.
By using these highly accurate surveys, we help contractors avoid unnecessary screeding and structural load, leading to quicker, more reliable results.
Choosing a provider with 3D scanning technology gives you a precise view of your roof’s condition, allowing for better planning and a more durable, efficient roofing solution.
Incorporating these highly accurate surveys into refurbishment projects - as well as new builds - highlights our commitment to future technology, setting us apart in the sector.
Selecting the right flat roofing provider goes beyond just comparing costs. By choosing a partner with technological capabilities, you set the foundation for a roofing project that runs smoothly, stays on schedule, and meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
