Every roof is an expensive building asset and should be protected. However, by the time most people show concern for their roof, it’s too late. Protecting it before issues arise will significantly extend the life of your roof, save money, reduce the risk of building damage, and provide a significant increase in property value. 

Fortis Warranty Benefits 

  • Financial Certainty: Replacing a roof can be financially devastating to a business’ operating plans. Eliminate the risk of living with a roof that isn’t protected or guaranteed to perform while deferring the high costs of replacement. A Fortis warranty can bring peace of mind, knowing both the roof and your business are protected.
  • Guaranteed Performance: Fortis’ warranties are the most comprehensive in the industry, contain the fewest restrictions, and are backed by Lloyd’s of London. This means you can feel secure that the company has sound financial backing and that we’ll be here when you need us.
  • 100% Transferrable Warranties: Fortis is essential for transacting buildings that have no existing roof warranty. Owners with expired warranties or previously non-covered roofs can easily implement a Fortis warranty. Buyers wanting to make sure that they are buying a solid asset can request an assessment and insist on a Fortis Warranty.
  • Green Solutions: Industry data indicates more than 80% of roofs are replaced prematurely. Fortis saves millions of square feet of toxic roofing from entering landfills by reconditioning them through our stringent standards and deferring their replacement for many years.
  • Experience You Can Trust: With more than 15 years of proven results, over 2,700 buildings, and over 120 million square feet under our care, you can rest easy knowing that Fortis’ solutions bear substantiated results! 

Good Riddance, Roof Risk

One of the reasons building owners don’t spend money on extensive roof repairs is that they don’t come with any sort of long term gurateee that they will work.They would spend lots of money and still hold all the risk. Many times building owner’s replace their roofs when their manfactures warranties expire to avoid the risk of having an older roof on their building. Some building owners choose to do nothing.Neglecting a roof altogether could prove to be extremely risky and costly, but the threat to the safety of those who work under it every day is even more significant. When the health of a roof is unknown, it puts every employee at risk.

Fortis’ solutions provide superior warranties that include extensise reconditioing work up front and guarantee the performance of your roof throught the warranty period. Fortis takes the risk so you can sleep sound!

Would You Neglect Your Own Coverage?

Parents, financial advisors, and others often advise younger generations to initiate life insurance coverage when they are younger. Typically set at fixed rates based on the age and health at coverage inception, a life insurance policy is less expensive when younger with more options available. As a person matures, obtaining coverage becomes a higher priority, but prices increase significantly each year as the individual ages. Further, a deadly disease can make a person entirely ineligible for coverage or at pricing that most cannot afford.

The same principle is true with roofing. When a roof is healthy and in good condition, long term goals for the asset are just that—long term. As a roof matures and initial warranties expire, disease can settle into the structure in many forms, making coverage challenging or even impossible to obtain. Fortis, however, provides a superior solution to increase the lifecycle of existing roofs.

A Fortis extended warranty is similar to a life insurance policy except that it actually guarantees the life of the roof for the warranty period. Costing less than one-third of the direct cost of a typical roof replacement (not to mention all the indirect costs), this safety net can’t be ignored as a solution to your roof problems.  

A Roof Over Your Head, Money in Your Pocket

Traditional manufacturers’ warranties are designed to protect their product, not the client. A Fortis warranty, is a proactive approach to roof safety, guaranteeing roof performance and extending roof life to protect buildings, tenants, and owners. This saves you money, defers unnecessary spend, and delivers total peace of mind when it comes to your roof.

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox forecasts the global panelized buildings market to grow 5.3% a year from 2026 to 2035, with residential housing at about 45% of 2026 demand. Factory capacity is the catch. Limited mass timber and specialized steel framing capacity will hold growth back in some regions, and IndexBox expects investment in new plants and automation to ease those bottlenecks by the late 2020s.

  • 01Panels swap scarce framing crews for factory hours, and through the late 2020s the factory hours for mass timber and specialized steel framing are scarce too.
  • 02Housing is 45% of panelized demand, but commercial and institutional projects are expected to grow faster because owners are paying for schedule certainty; warehouse and campus owners are closest to that shift.
  • 03Volumetric modular plants are estimated to need 60% to 70% utilization to break even, so the useful question for a panel supplier is how far out the specific production line is booked.

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Rebond 300 replaces up to 30% of cement in concrete with no equipment changes. In a Holcim and Goldbeck floor slab trial at C30/37, its workability, setting time and finishing matched the reference mix. Demand exceeds what Paebbl can produce, and closing that gap is now its main challenge.

  • 01After Rebond 300 runs through a standard ready-mix plant and hits C30/37 with no schedule change, buyers’ next questions shift to supply and allocation—how many tonnes Paebbl can ship—alongside price and how much of the mix to commit.
  • 02If Rebond 300 displaces up to 30% of cement yet can cut embodied carbon by up to 40%, the figures imply a negative footprint beyond simple substitution; Paebbl cites a verified -149 kg CO2e per tonne of product, with results depending on mix design.

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

Carolinas contractors need field-tested evidence on new tools now. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator reached 8.7 months in September, yet more than a quarter of contractors expect thinner margins.

  • 01A contractor with 8.7 months of work booked has time to pilot new tools. A contractor expecting thinner margins has less room to pay for a tool that only worked in the demo.
  • 02Diverge tests construction tools in controlled pilots and on active jobsites, and ABC can pass along what holds up. Contractors still need to choose what to pilot and define the metric that will decide it.
  • 03In South Carolina, a 1099 specialist brought in to run a tech pilot faces two separate state classification tests. Passing one does not settle the other.
