The rigorous application process all but ensures it. Member contractors are highly respected in the design community, within government agencies that bid out work, and with its business owner clients. ARCA creates an environment that facilitates this level of professionalism, and with it comes access to jobs that other roofing companies would not enjoy. Many building owners and organizations, including Alberta Infrastructure, use ARCA as a pre-qualification tool for specific projects.
They know that to become ARCA members the contractors were vetted and already meet or exceed industry benchmarks for safety, education, and training requirements. This saves clients the trouble of vetting their roofing contractors — and knowing the reputation of the Association and its members, business owners enjoy peace of mind that the job will be done right. That peace of mind is also backed by a best-in-class warranty that protects building owners with extended coverage.
Members can offer clients five- or year ARCA warranties which are often paired with manufacturer material warranties. The ARCA warranty program allows contractors to offer extended warranty coverage secured with a funded warranty program, allowing them to allocate resources to other areas of their company. Building owners can rest assured that their asset is protected with an industry-leading workmanship warranty provided through the Association.
We vetted them carefully so we should be able to pay out any mistakes as it should not be very often if we keep the standards high. ARCA proudly represents members who go above and beyond to provide great service to clients. They strive to guarantee that their clients are satisfied that they received a quality roof, and ARCA is there to assist them.
While ARCA members are all top-end, skilled roofers, they are still human and can make mistakes. Clients can be confident that ARCA members are up on the latest building codes and regulations, too. After all, it has members sitting on and chairing various construction and government boards in Alberta. The Association has a solid relationship with government agencies and organizations that impacts the roofing industry as well as playing an important advocacy role.
It is important for the Association to keep the quality high so it does all it can to support members in maintaining the standards set at admission. For that reason, unlike many associations that use training and education to generate revenue, ARCA training is free for members. Module One includes critical safety training including torch safety, fall protection, fire extinguisher training, leadership for safety excellence and first aid.
ARCA also recognized that some roofers may want to transition from the roof to another area of the industry, so it created a career path and training courses that facilitates that move. Taking it a step further, Module 3 introduces members to management areas including elements of human resources, communication and conflict resolution, financial literacy, contract law and risk management, and basic project management.
In addition to the ever-evolving education programs, ARCA also offers their centre to manufacturers free of charge, allowing them to introduce or showcase their products to the building community. Manufacturers can invite non-member contractors and professionals as well, extending the knowledge and expertise across the sector. With Rooferama, ARCA creates interdisciplinary groups consisting of an architect, engineer, building owner, inspector and contractor, and the group moves as a unit through various manufacturer presentations.
This introduces diverse perspectives into the discussions and makes for a richer learning experience for all participants. Looking for additional exposure?
