Panelized roof construction can help you get your commercial build completed on time and on budget. This revolutionary method will help you save on time, labor, and materials. The Structures Group in Phoenix specializes in commercial roof construction. Our talented team of builders and engineers will deliver the structurally sound, state-of-the-art roof structure solutions you need. 

Advantages of Panelized Roof Construction

This method speeds up construction times, reduces the cost of labor, and uses fewer materials. The entire roof structure can be manufactured and erected in a fraction of the time it takes to finish a standard commercial roof. Because the roof sections are built on the ground and then lifted into place with a forklift or crane, it also minimizes the risks to your builders. 

Panelized commercial roofs are extremely strong and excellent at resisting failure from fatigue. This construction method reduces the overall roof load and eliminates or reduces the need for roof expansion joints. It enables the roofing to attach directly to the roof deck, and makes it easier to flash roof penetrations and downspouts. It also makes it easier to install insulation, sprinkler systems, air ducts, and other interior mechanics. 

Composite Panelized Roof Systems

Roof structures built from a combination of wood and steel unite the strengths of both materials. Composite roofs often present the most economical option for large commercial structures. At The Structures Group, we ensure that you get the most cost-effective roof system for your build.

Composite panelized roof systems combine steel joist purlins, wood open-web purlins, or long-span glulam framing with 2×4 or 2×6 sub-purlins and a plywood or OSB roof deck. Each panel can span 70  feet or more, and with purlins spaced 8 feet on center, panelized wood roof construction requires fewer total structural members.

Commercial Roof Construction and Engineering

The Structures Group can determine the most economical structural materials for your build. Because we staff our own engineers, we know exactly what types of materials will work best to complete the job. We also follow every fluctuation in the market so we can offer accurate, up-to-date estimates on the cost of materials. 

For example, the owner at Tom Jones Ford wanted an exposed steel deck for the service area of their car dealership. However, the cost of an all steel structure was outside their budget. The Structures Group designed each area of the roof using materials that best fit the situation, including wood and steel decks, wood and steel beams, and even I-joists over the carwash.

Commercial Roof Retrofit and Repair

If your commercial roof needs repairs or improvements, you need a firm with structural engineering expertise. Without proper planning, you could compromise the structural integrity of the entire facility. If you need to repair damage or reinforce a roof to support more weight, you can count on The Structures Group in Phoenix to get the job done right.

The Centrica project was part of the revitalization of downtown Mesa, Arizona. We helped the building’s owner realize their vision to provide a high-end office, which involved retrofitting much of the original building. We connected multiple buildings together under a new roof, removed and replaced the framing at the perimeter, and repaired the broken roof trusses.
