When roofing is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times roofing from about 15% of the way through the build to about 35%, with the last realistic approach at about 45%. The builder or general contractor awards roofing around framing, before the roof deck is visible from the street.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where roofing is typically awarded.
What to lead with: material availability, crew dates tied to the framing schedule, warranty terms and the building-envelope details.
Running the pipeline
Roofing work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep the framing schedule, the roof deck date and the material you have quoted in the record. CRM for roofing contractors covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
