The most commonly used material for flat or slightly sloped commercial roofing construction is flexible (single-ply) membrane roofing.

The emergence of sustainable initiatives has resulted in a growing trend in its use, particularly white, reflective membrane roofing. BUR (built-up roofing), SBS (styrene butadiene styrene), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) are acronyms used by the commercial roofing industry to describe common types of membrane roofing.

Tips on Estimating Membrane Roofing Costs from RSMeans

Get the latest 2010 cost data now!

Built-up or single-ply membrane roofing systems are made up of many products and installation trades. Wood blocking at roof perimeters or penetrations, parapet coverings, reglets, roof drains, gutters, downspouts, sheet metal flashing, skylights, smoke vents, and roof hatches all need to be considered along with the roof material. Several different installation trades will need to work together on the roofing system. Inherent difficulties in the scheduling and coordination of various trades must be accounted for when estimating labor costs
