It will cost ~$90k to replace our multi-unit condo roof which is about 6000 sqf. It will have a full tapering system across the entire roof. We are keen to having the manufacturer inspect the tapering installation too and sign off on it. We know there is an added cost for this which we will be paying.

Given the cost of the project, how should payments be scheduled? Also, should this be made clear in the bid before we sign it so everyone is clear? From the many bids received, none mentioned how payment will be structured which I find surprising.

There is a $7000 cost difference between PVC and TPO from a bid from a roofing company we are keen to work with. Note we will have a full tapered system across the entire roof which is a multi unit condo building. The roofing company recommend PVC as it’s more flexible and suitable for contours and bends, which there are plenty of on our roof. I get the pros and benefits of PVC but it seems it’s more than what our roof needs. Ideally, we would like to save the $7000 difference unless there is a big benefit to spending it on PVC. Thoughts?
