Avoid Costly Roofing Mistakes in Large-Scale Construction Projects
Download The 7 Mistakes That Could Ruin Your Roofing Project —
a free guide for developers and construction professionals managing complex builds.
From the outside, a roof may look simple: sheets of metal fixed to a frame. But anyone who has seen a major build stall, flood, or fall behind schedule knows the truth. Roofing isn’t a commodity — it’s a system. And when you treat it like just another line item, the consequences can be costly.
This guide reveals the seven critical mistakes that cause projects across Ghana to lose money, time, and reputation. More importantly, it shows you how to avoid them — and partner with a supplier who delivers peace of mind, not problems.
What’s inside
- Why treating roofing as “just sheets” creates hidden liabilities — and how system thinking protects your investment.
- The dangers of choosing materials without expert input — and how the right profile, coating, and gauge make decades of difference.
- The capacity trap — how to tell if your supplier can actually deliver at scale, or if they’re guessing.
- What happens when you skip the “What if” questions — and how proper planning shields you from delays, spec changes, and weather surprises.
- The warranty blind spot — why vague promises are worthless, and what a true 25-year guarantee looks like.
- Why origin and compliance matter — and how uncertified imports destroy value within a single rainy season.
- The hidden risk to your reputation — why roofing failures don’t just cost money, they cost credibility.
