What is the primary role of a Registered Roof Observer (RRO)?

The primary role of a Registered Roof Observer (RRO) is to ensure quality assurance in the installation and performance of roofing systems. This involves overseeing the entire roofing process, from planning to installation, and monitoring various aspects such as material quality, workmanship, and adherence to safety standards and local codes. The RRO is tasked with identifying potential issues early in the process to ensure that the roofing system functions as intended and meets the specified performance criteria.

By focusing on quality assurance, the RRO plays a critical role in extending the lifespan of roofs, preventing leaks, and ensuring that the roofing systems perform optimally under different weather conditions. This responsibility includes conducting inspections, documenting findings, and communicating with contractors and stakeholders to uphold the integrity of the roofing system throughout its installation.
