How does JRH coordinate with BOMA property managers on occupied office buildings?
JRH Construction aligns with the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) standard of care on every occupied office project. JRH assigns a superintendent who attends weekly property-management coordination, provides tenant-notice letters 10 business days before any rooftop activity above a specific floor, delivers daily photo reports to the property manager, and issues waiver-of-subrogation endorsements consistent with office lease rider requirements. BOMA DFW and BOMA Fort Worth member property managers have standardized documentation expectations JRH meets as a matter of routine.
Can JRH work on occupied mid-rise and low-rise office buildings without tenant disruption?
Yes. JRH Construction zones roof work to complete segments over weekends, after 7 PM, or during low-occupancy periods identified through the property manager. JRH restricts impact fastening during core business hours, coordinates freight elevator material lifts around tenant move-ins, and schedules crane operations for Saturday mornings to minimize parking-lot impact. HVAC curb replacement that requires interior ceiling access coordinates room-by-room with tenants through the property manager, with weekend or after-hours execution.
What roof system does JRH recommend for a DFW Class A office building?
JRH Construction specifies 80-mil fully adhered white TPO from GAF EverGuard or Carlisle Sure-Weld on DFW Class A office buildings because fully adhered membranes deliver superior wind uplift performance on exposed high-rise roofs, white reflective surface meets municipal cool-roof energy code, FM 4470 Class 4 impact rating protects against DFW hail, and the 30-year no-dollar-limit warranty matches the long-hold investment profile of Class A ownership. Tapered polyisocyanurate insulation below provides R-30 continuous to meet ASHRAE 90.1, and cover board above resists mechanical service traffic.
How does JRH handle rooftop amenity decks and terraces?
Many modern DFW Class A buildings incorporate rooftop amenity decks, tenant terraces, and green-roof plantings that require specialized waterproofing beneath pedestrian pavers, wood decking, and planted assemblies. JRH Construction installs PVC or modified bitumen beneath pedestal-set pavers, coordinates with landscape architects on irrigation penetrations, and provides leak-detection grid systems at amenity zones for long-term serviceability. Warranty terms extend to full 20-year NDL on protected-membrane assemblies.
Does JRH coordinate with tenant-improvement (TI) contractors during lease rollover?
Yes. JRH Construction often sequences roof work around major tenant-improvement build-outs during lease rollover. JRH coordinates with the TI general contractor on skylight replacement, HVAC tonnage upgrades that require new roof curbs, interior demo dust-control, and weekend lifts of large mechanical equipment. Property managers value the combined roof-and-TI scheduling because it captures long-term roof investment during the natural capex window.
What is a sample office project outcome JRH has delivered?
On a representative DFW Class A suburban office campus, JRH Construction completed 180,000 square feet of 80-mil fully adhered TPO across 4 buildings over 16 weeks, maintained full tenant operations throughout, and delivered a BOMA-compliant close-out book with 30-year NDL warranty registration [TODO — real project reference needed with ownership approval].
Does JRH handle emergency office roof leaks during business hours?
Yes. JRH Construction runs 24/7 emergency response for office property managers with documented 5-minute phone pickup. Emergency response includes temporary tarping, cold-applied single-ply patching, interior ceiling-tile protection coordination, and permanent repair scheduled around tenant occupancy. After major hail or wind events, JRH deploys multi-crew surge teams across portfolio clients to triage by tenant impact and temporary waterproofing urgency.
