The Roof Asset Management Program

RAM as an Investment

The following scenario demonstrates how your best investment and your largest return on your investment comes from performing preventive maintenance on all your buildings - keeping them all in a manageable state while minimizing shutdown time and preventing asset damage within your buildings.

Building Number of Leaks
Each Year
A 25
B 6
C 4
D 2
E 1

Due to the high number of leaks, most people would consider spending their entire repair and maintenance budget on Building A. Meanwhile, roof and property damage worsens in Buildings B - E and shutdown costs increase.

Instead, perform preventive maintenance on Buildings B - E. This will prevent these buildings from becoming another “Building A”. Use the remainder of the budget to repair the worst portions of Building A.

The next year, either continue repairs to Building A (while continuing preventive maintenance on B - E), or enlarge the repair and maintenance budget to permit a complete tear-off of Building A. By the third year, all of your buildings will be in a RAM preventive maintenance mode, reducing the risk of ever again owning a “Building A”.
