Substrate damage found on site should be billed on site.
Tear-off reveals what the drawings didn't show — moisture damage, additional substrate repair, flashing upgrades the GC requests in the moment. Every discovered condition and verbal scope addition not captured before work proceeds is a change order you'll fight to justify later. Revecta gives your foreman the tools to capture it first.
What typically falls off the invoice
Roofing revenue leakage concentrates on discovered conditions and verbal upgrades — work that was done correctly but never formally documented before the crew moved on.
- ▸Substrate damage found during tear-off beyond what drawings showed
- ▸Additional insulation layers required by discovered moisture damage
- ▸Flashing upgrades directed by the GC on site
- ▸Extra penetration details added after the original scope was set
- ▸Weather delay standby time the GC requested the crew remain for
- ▸Additional square footage when actual roof dimensions exceeded plans
How Revecta works for roofing crews
Discovered conditions and verbal scope additions captured before the crew moves on — not reconstructed from memory at billing time.
Document discovered conditions at tear-off
When the roof deck reveals substrate damage or moisture beyond the original scope, the foreman captures photos, area dimensions, and the GC directive to proceed — before a single additional nail goes in.
Log field-directed scope additions immediately
Flashing upgrades, additional detailing, and scope extensions added verbally by the GC are captured at the point of direction — timestamped and associated with the specific work area.
Compile a Proof-of-Work document for GC review
All captured field events roll up into one auditable document — original scope plus every discovered condition and addition. GC reviews and approves via secure link, no account required.
Revenue Recovery Engine flags unbilled work
Revecta scans all documented field work for items captured but not yet priced, submitted, or invoiced — surfaced before closeout.
Frequently asked questions
How does Revecta handle roofing scope additions found during tear-off?
When tear-off reveals substrate damage or conditions beyond the original scope, the foreman logs the discovery immediately — photos of the damaged area, what was found, and the GC or owner directive to proceed. That becomes the documented basis for the change order before repairs begin.
What about additional flashing or detailing the GC requests on site?
Flashing upgrades and additional detail work are exactly the kind of verbal directive that generates real material and labor cost but often doesn't make it onto the invoice. Revecta captures those additions at the moment of direction with timestamps and photos.
Can Revecta document weather delays and standby time?
Yes — weather delays and standby events are standard field capture entries. If the GC directed your crew to remain on site during a weather hold, Revecta captures that event with timestamps so you have the documentation to bill the standby time.
Does Revecta work for both commercial and residential roofing?
Revecta is built for commercial specialty subcontractors, but the core workflow — capture field work at the point of direction, get GC approval via secure link — applies on any job where the customer needs to review and approve scope before you invoice it.
