Take Control with RAMP®

The DBS Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP) is an integrated suite of professional roof management services designed to extend the work life of your roofs, while increasing the value of your properties. By providing you with an Internet-based advanced database tool for track the history of your roofs, RAMP eliminates owner concerns over lost warranties, inconsistent documentation from one facility to the next, neglected maintenance, the lack of timely communications during work-in-progress, and unanticipated downtime related to emergency repairs.

Step One: Your local DBS representative will conduct facility surveys and create a customized database of all relevant roofing information, from construction details and inspection reports to roof maintenance histories and digital documentation of problem areas.

Step Two: Using the Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP) computer software, your representative will then analyze your data and propose recommendations based on your specific needs, expectations, and budget.

Step Three: Reports are made available to your team in whatever format you prefer, including hard copy for meeting presentations or via the Internet for real-time sharing with employees and associates in multiple locations.

RAMP helps you take control of your roof-related facility management budget, giving you the information you need to make timely, cost-effective decisions.

Maintenance recommendations include construction details, photographic documentation, architectural drawings, visual observation notes, core sample documentation, and lab analysis reports, as needed, to help you prevent avoidable leaks and resulting water damage.

Roof replacement options include a comparative analysis of modified bitumen, metal, and sustainable-design  high-performance roofing solutions, based on application-specific concerns and requirements.

Work history reports document every repair, renovation, and replacement, helping you analyze maintenance costs to justify staying the course or moving to capital expenditures.

Cost estimates and annual budget summaries prioritize roofing requirements, enabling you to increase facility uptime through the predictable scheduling of preventive maintenance.

Warranty tracking helps you hold your suppliers accountable, eliminating problems resulting from neglected maintenance or misplaced documentation.

Life-cycle and energy-saving cost analyses, using industry-recognized models, help you determine the cost/value performance of alternative roofing solutions.

Timely updates and job inspection reports, including on-line photographic documentation, allow you to share data with others in your organization, over the Internet, for improved internal communication and more time-efficient management.

On-line emergency reporting automatically triggers a pager allowing you to contact your DBS representative on-line, 24/7/365, when emergencies arise requiring immediate action.
