SOPREMA’S CAD DESIGNER: AT YOUR SERVICE!

SOPREMA acts as a one-stop-shop, providing a single point of warranty and advice for the entire building envelope – from waterproofing to insulation. As a part of our service, we offer CAD designs and a wide range of calculations, from wind uplift to U-value, which are not only essential for you as our customer, but also for our own team. Our technical experts use them to write specifications, while site technicians rely on them for inspection reports. All those indispensable calculations and drawings are done in-house. Read on to find out what our CAD designer Joshua Ambrose can do for you. UP TO DATE WITH BUILDING REGULATIONS Our CAD designer ensures that all standard details are up to date with building regulations, as well as creating new, bespoke details that SOPREMA sales representatives can use to show how our products work together and how our (hybrid) systems function on site. The SOPREMA CAD designer goes on site, draws sketches together with architects, and comes up with answers that tick all the boxes, that is, solutions that are within building regulations, that SOPREMA is able to install and that meet all of the client’s requirements. Joshua works closely with both our sales team and clients, making sure he fully understands what you want and need. FROM U-VALUE TO WUFI CALCULATIONS In addition, our CAD designer provides technical support. He can assist you with U-value calculations, roof drainage calculations, WuFi calculations for the PAVATEX systems, and wind uplift calculations. He attaches a lot of importance to customer friendliness. When it comes to drainage calculations, for instance, he makes sure that his plans are easy to understand. Joshua: “Some roofs have more than forty areas – think of pitched roofs with a lot of different segments. I carefully colour code them, so the customer can see at a glance which area we are referring to.” As for the WuFi assessments, the SOPREMA service ranges from doing the initial calculations and informing you whether the build-up you had in mind will work, to making adaptations and even providing full reports. The latter include graphs and explain which parameters were tested, and what the exact results and the acceptable limits were. STAND-BY THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT Both SOPREMA colleagues and external clients such as roofing contractors rely on SOPREMA in every stage of their project. Before construction or refurbishment works begin, our designs and calculations help you understand how a certain system is going to be installed. We remain on stand-by while the works are underway, in case any changes are required. Our CAD designer also follows up once your project has been successfully completed. “A system can be installed differently but still correctly”, he explains. “I change the details and calculations to match, so our customers get peace of mind in terms of warranty. For less complex sites, the standard details we have in our library usually suffice to sign a project off.”
