In a perfect world, the architect designs a building, and the contractor builds it, accurately and on time, with all the skilled labor necessary. In the real world, the supply of skilled construction labor ebbs and flows. Today it has ebbed. The scarcity of skilled labor drives up costs and drives down quality as crews rush from project to project in a quickening market. Through this course you will review the decline of skilled building labor in the U.S., learn the history and benefits of factory-made building components, the consequences of roofing failures, how roofing membranes are fabricated and installed and finally explore case studies of custom-fabricated roof systems.
