CASE STUDY: SCHOOL DISTRICT

One of the top 10 largest school districts in the country was seeking a way to better manage its roof inventory and effectively plan, direct, and oversee its functions pertaining to the repair, replacement, and maintenance of its roofs. After issuing a request for proposal to various Roof Asset Management companies in order to find a qualified provider to thoroughly analyze and evaluate its roofing assets, BTA was selected as the most qualified provider to perform the roof assessment services and achieve the stated goals of the project. A significant differentiator of the BTA approach is its OASYS™ system, a proprietary software program that harnesses BTA’s experience of managing over 1 billion square feet of roofing. OASYS™ allows BTA to deliver an unparalleled level of roof asset management from a financial perspective.

BTA performed roof assessments on over 200 schools comprising over 21 million square feet of roofing. This data was analyzed by the OASYS™ system to identify the best opportunities to cost effectively extend the life of the school district’s roofing inventory. The results of this analysis presented them with an opportunity to invest $1.5 million in strategic repairs to its roof inventory and achieve an increase in the average life span equivalent to over $8.7 million dollars in value. The graphic below illustrates how, by making this investment in strategic repairs, the school district will have fewer roofs that will need to be replaced in the next three years—lowering their capital requirements during this time period by $3.9 million.
