The complete Marley roof specification technical service for end-to-end roof design

The suite of Marley technical tools for roof specification is designed to benefit everyone involved in the design, specification and installation of a roof. Architects, housebuilders, merchants and installers can all use the service to make the project easier, quicker and ensure it meets all legal requirements and standards.

The tools are fully integrated and communicate with each other intelligently, so all parties can work from the same roof plans, designs, specifications and estimates in real time. If alterations are made to the design, it will be reflected automatically in every other stage, so everything is always up to date for that project.

Roof specification can be complex, but the Marley technical service makes it easy at every stage:

  • Roof design technical tools for architects – Create drawings in CAD, then build the system in BIM using our library of BIM files which can be downloaded or added directly to the model. Use SpecRite to create a detailed NBS specification quickly and easily, then pass it on to the contractors or use it to apply for the 15-year system warranty. Use the solar configurator to automatically specify the optimal system for the project.
  • Roof design technical service for merchants – Ensure accurate costings and order materials accurately using our materials estimator. All estimates are updated automatically to reflect the latest roof and solar design changes. No special regulatory knowledge is required and only appropriate materials for the project will be selectable.
  • Roof design technical tools for Installers – See the exact fixing specification for each roof tile and accessory product at a glance and be assured they meet building standards automatically.
