Outdoor spaces and grounds: Enquiry form for green roof installers
An enquiry form for green roof installers that asks for roof details, access and the state of the roof covering, so the works planner can judge whether a roof visit is needed.
What makes an enquiry complete for green roof installers.
Enquiries to green roof installers often arrive with a photo taken from the street and the question of what a green roof costs. What is missing is exactly what decides price and feasibility: how big is the roof, what is on it now, how old is the covering, is there an upstand, can a crane stand in front of the building and is there anywhere to store materials? The works planner then emails back and forth, or books a roof visit only to find within ten minutes that the structure cannot carry extra weight. With enquiries from contractors the problem is reversed: a specification item without a drawing of the roof area.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Ask for roof details stepwise
The person enquiring gives the building type, an estimate of the roof size and what is on the roof now: bitumen, a single-ply membrane, gravel or paving. Those who know can add the age of the covering and the fall. A photo from above or of the roof edge can be added per question, even one taken from a window or roof hatch.
Map access and lifting
The form asks how materials will get up: via a stairwell, a roof hatch or by crane from the street. It also asks whether there is room for a crane or lorry, whether the street is busy and whether there is a courtyard. Those answers later shape the lifting plan and the schedule.
Assess and route the enquiry
The works planner receives a summary with roof details, photos, access and a note of what is unknown, such as load capacity. He decides whether he can give an indication, book a roof visit or first ask for a structural engineer's assessment. That decision is recorded with the enquiry for whoever picks it up next.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Enquiries currently arrive by email, phone, a comparison site or a contractor sending out a request. The form catches the loose enquiries and places them in the contact system or project list you already keep, with the building as a fixed reference. Drawings and specifications from contractors can be attached. The person enquiring owns their own details; after a roof visit the works planner adds the measured sizes and the assessment of the covering.
Estimated or measured roof size
Owners can often estimate the roof size from an online map or the building drawings. That is enough for a first indication, but not for a quote. Measuring during a roof visit takes time, but avoids a price that has to be adjusted significantly later. The form can make clear when each kind of measurement is good enough.
One form for homeowners and contractors
A contractor wants to upload a specification item and a drawing and get a price quickly; a homeowner needs explanation at every question. One form with a choice at the start keeps maintenance simple. Two separate forms suit each audience better, but both have to be kept up to date whenever your offer changes.
Quick indication or visit first
For a small flat roof with a recent covering, an indication based on photos and roof size may be enough. For large roofs, unknown structures or poor access, a roof visit is the sensible route. The form can suggest which route fits based on the answers, so the works planner does not have to sort everything again by hand.

The form with roof details, photos and access questions is ready at the start, with a summary for the works planner. The software reads known buildings from your records, so an enquiry is attached to the right roof straight away. Together we test a homeowner wanting a sedum roof on a garage, and a residents' association with no information on the structure or the age of the covering. A separate route for contractors with specification items can be switched on later.

Explore pricing and optionsWhat if the person enquiring does not know the roof build-up?
They fill in what they do know and mark the rest as unknown. The summary shows which details are missing. The works planner can then check on a roof visit or ask the owner for building drawings, rather than giving a price based on a guess.
Can contractors attach a drawing of the roof area?
Yes, as an attachment. On new builds or renovations, a contractor often has a drawing showing roof areas, falls and outlets. That is far more useful to the works planner than an estimate, because the layout can be based on it directly.
How do we know whether a crane is needed?
The form asks about the building height, access to the roof and the space in front of the building. That does not give a final answer, but it does give a direction. After assessment, the works planner decides whether a crane, a ladder hoist or carrying by hand is most suitable.
Can we receive maintenance requests through this form too?
Yes, with a separate choice at the start. A maintenance request asks about the existing green roof, the system, when it was installed and what is happening now, such as weeds, bare patches or a blocked outlet. Those details differ from a new installation.
