Continuing education is open. The document library is not.

Courses run in your office or ours, and count for AIA and ASLA credit. Drawings, specifications and test reports sit behind a login so that revisions reach the people holding them.

Asked by specifiers

Which section do I specify under?

07 55 63 — Vegetated Protected Membrane Roofing. The editable CSI 3-part specification for each system is in the portal.

Do you supply the waterproofing?

No. Every assembly is membrane-agnostic and sits above the membrane and a loose-laid root barrier, so your roofing manufacturer's warranty is unaffected.

What load do I give the structural engineer?

The saturated load from the load table, plus maintenance live load. The one-page table covering all six systems is in the portal under Performance data.

My drawing names a product you no longer sell.

Every legacy name is mapped. Search it on the systems page and you will get the current assembly and any revision note attached to the change.
