1992 Hail Storm hit the company where I was employed. Out of the 12,800,000 square feet of roof, there was apparent damage to 400,000 square feet. I had estimated the damage to be $1,300,000.00. The insurance companies with their consultant claimed there was only $670,000 in damage. We could not come to a settlement at that time. After about 11 month I had more damaged roofs and the insurance companies had hired another consultant. When we finally settled in the 12th month, the settlement was for $2,300,000.00. This equaled a $1,630,000 savings to my employer at the time.

1995 Product Alert came out for phenolic roofing insulation. We had one building at Boeing Wichita that had the specific insulation. The building is about 45,000 square feet. The roofing system was near the end of the warranty period. The new owner of the phenolic insulation product was a British based company which had hired a Chicago based consulting firm to represent them in the roof and deck replacement projects. I presented a case stating that the value of the roof should be based on the life cycle of the roofing membrane not the material warranty. We settled with them paying us $1.90 per square foot toward the replacement cost. There was a class action law suite for the same product alert filed and the settlement only paid $0.90 per square foot.

Feb. 2005 Site Roof Survey, Mesa, AZ The 1.4M square foot Boeing facility was measured, drawn and inspected in ten days. One of the larger buildings had been leaking for several years. I estimated the cost to overlay the standing seam metal roof was $750,000. Our consulting team examined the roof and found several defects. All the defects were repairable. John White and I gave our recommendations and the repairs were made for under $50,000 thus saving the site $700,000 which allowed the funds to be used on other projects.

August 2005, Roof Moisture Scan of a Boeing roof in Philadelphia. The building was scheduled for a new roof. They had done an infrared scan and were told the roofing insulation was wet and all had to be removed. I flew in and performed a nuclear moisture scan which showed that only 4.6% of the roofing insulation needed to be removed. Net savings on the project was around $200,000.00
