Our first speaker is Ross Finnie, who is introduces us – 'we offer an impartial design service to specifiers and contractors' #PerfectRoof

Ross points out that @SIGDesignTech represents many different products, so you can choose the right product for your project #Perfectroof
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 22, 2014
Step 2: Design Expertise.
Don’t risk uncoordinated design input from several manufacturers says Ross. #PerfectRoof— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 22, 2014
To avoid risk, have your roof designed, specified and co-ordinated from the deck up by a single PI insured designer says Ross #PerfectRoof
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 22, 2014
Step 3: Meet the Regulations
Ensure you meet all the Statutory Requirements even if they change. http://t.co/ux9sd0rXS9 #PerfectRoof— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 22, 2014
Step 4: Confidence in Supply
Choose a proven supplier who'll cut waste +cost (+risk) says Ross.

Step 7: Full Guarantees
Don’t fall between suppliers who may dispute responsibility. http://t.co/4ybB3imPgD #PerfectRoof— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 22, 2014

A perfect roof is designed for appropriate, safe and efficient maintenance. http://t.co/vWhA4MNecG #Perfectroof— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 22, 2014

Building in a National Park has its unusual challenges – sheep's noses against the window, voles eating everything, badgers… #perfectroof
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 22, 2014
Peter is asked about the planners – apparently they love the use of meadow grass but don't like Sedum in the National Park #PerfectRoof

— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 22, 2014
Question to @BenStuartUK is the roof at 5 Broadgate completely flat? Yes due to planning restrictions #Perfectroof
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 22, 2014
There's an 800m2 PV plant screen and all the core lids have solar thermal units on them – @BenStuartUK #Perfectroof
— SIG Design&Tech (@SIGDesignTech) October 22, 2014
Ben hopes that Hot Melt will develop in future as a product. His thoughts on it are very useful for architects and product folk #PerfectRoof
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 22, 2014
Question from the floor – walking on the roof is ok once the grass is down, but keep off before that (and fall arrest required) #Perfectroof
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 22, 2014
