General contractors bidding new construction or major renovation work around Macon need a roofing subcontractor who can turn around a Division 07 bid on schedule and hold to it through the submittal and inspection process. We bid off plans and specs directly, respond to RFIs on our scope within the timeline the GC sets, and carry our own coordination through substrate inspection, dry-in, and final roof observation.
We take bids from full construction documents rather than a roof plan pulled out of context. That means reading the Division 07 roofing sections alongside the relevant architectural details, structural deck specifications, and any mechanical or electrical rooftop equipment schedule that affects curb count and penetration layout. A bid built off an incomplete document set tends to generate change orders once the roof crew is actually on site, and we'd rather flag a discrepancy during bid review than during framing.
Where a spec section references a manufacturer system by name, we bid that system as specified and note any substitution request separately, with comparative product data, so the GC and architect can evaluate it on its own merits rather than us quietly substituting a different assembly to hit a number.
We also flag conflicts we catch between the roof plan and other trade drawings during the bid phase itself - a rooftop unit schedule that doesn't match the curb layout on the architectural roof plan, for instance. Catching that mismatch before award saves a design team from fielding it as an RFI once steel is already up.
New construction schedules on projects around Warner Robins, Perry, and Macon proper generally run on a tight sequence between deck completion and dry-in, and a slow RFI response from a subcontractor can stall the whole trade sequence behind it. We commit to a specific turnaround window on RFIs affecting our scope and flag any detail that needs architect clarification as early as possible, rather than waiting until the crew is standing on the roof with a question.
Submittals go out as a complete package - product data, shop drawings for custom flashing conditions, and wind uplift calculations - rather than in pieces that generate multiple rounds of partial review. A complete first submittal is almost always faster than a fast incomplete one once you account for the review cycle.
We track submittal status against the GC's overall project schedule rather than our own internal deadline alone, so if a design decision upstream is holding up our submittal, that gets surfaced to the project manager immediately instead of showing up as an unexplained delay two weeks later.
Roof work touches more trades on a new building than most GCs initially scope for - mechanical curbs, electrical conduit penetrations, fire suppression roof drains, and sometimes solar or communications equipment mounts. We attend trade coordination meetings when the GC schedules them and flag sequencing conflicts before they become field problems, particularly around who sets a curb versus who flashes it.
On tenant improvement and renovation projects, we also coordinate directly with demolition and structural trades on deck condition, since a roof bid based on assumed deck condition can change significantly once existing roofing is stripped and the actual deck is exposed. We build a contingency allowance into these bids and document any deck repair as a separate line item with photos, not a lump change order.
Rooftop solar and communications equipment mounts have come up more often in the last few years on both new construction and renovation scopes around Macon. We coordinate structural load requirements and penetration locations with whichever trade is setting that equipment well before roof installation, since retrofitting a mount into a finished membrane after the fact almost always costs more and carries more warranty risk than planning for it up front.
GCs need a complete closeout package to hand to the owner at project turnover, and we build ours to slot directly into that file. Our closeout package includes:
Generally yes, provided we receive a complete document set. We'll flag missing information immediately rather than submitting an incomplete bid or letting the deadline slip silently.
Yes, we price the specified system as the base bid and any alternate as a clearly separated line item with comparative product data, so you can present both to the architect without re-bidding.
We document it with photos and price repair as a distinct change order tied to specific square footage, not a lump-sum adjustment, so the owner can see exactly what changed and why.
We commit to a specific window at project kickoff based on the GC's schedule needs, and we escalate anything requiring architect input immediately rather than sitting on it.
Yes, we format it as a standard organized package - as-built plan, warranty, product data, and inspection report - built to hand off without reformatting.
