Ross has 17 years’ experience in roofing specification and leads the sales team at SIG Design and Technology. He recently put together our new CPD Seminar ‘A Structured Approach to Roof Specification and Design’ and introduced the 8 Steps at our #PerfectRoof seminar last year.
As flat roofing options become more complex, Ross advises on how to achieve the right balance of performance, aesthetics and cost for each project. With his extensive experience helping architects get what they want out of roofing, this year he’ll be introducing the topic of guarantees.

Last up before our panel discussion is @RossRossfinnie talking about guarantees – what they are and what to expect #PerfectRoof
— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 1, 2015
What do you want your guarantee for? Not just product but workmanship and latent defects #PerfectRoof
— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 1, 2015
Don't be distracted by the big figure '40 years!' find out what is actually being covered. #PerfectRoof
