A Portfolio Asset Under Pressure.
A regional institutional ownership group managing a 480,000 SF industrial distribution center in the [location] area engaged DRS Nationwide after their incumbent contractor recommended full roof replacement at significant capital cost. The facility is a core asset within a 12-property Midwest portfolio.
The ownership group required an objective, third-party assessment before committing to a replacement program. DRS was brought in to assess, advise, and — if warranted — execute a lifecycle-driven alternative.
Project Details
- Roof Type: TPO + Silicone Restoration
- Roof Size: 480,000 SF
- Location: [location]
- Asset Class: Industrial Distribution
- Timeline: 14 Weeks
- Warranty: 20-Year Manufacturer
- Service: Restoration Program
Replacement Pressure Without Objective Data.
The existing TPO membrane system was 14 years old and showing localized deterioration, ponding water in three zones, and seam separation at multiple penetrations. The incumbent contractor’s position was categorical: replace the entire system.
The ownership group had no independent condition documentation, no remaining useful life estimate, and no basis for challenging the replacement recommendation. The capital exposure — estimated at $3.8M — was significant, and the budget cycle pressure was real.
No independent data. No lifecycle analysis. Just a replacement quote. That's exactly the situation DRS was built to address."
Measurable Outcomes Delivered.
The restoration program was completed on schedule across a 14-week execution window with no interruption to facility operations. Full documentation and warranty package was delivered within 10 business days of project completion.
