The best-in-class roofing portfolio management system for universities and large institutional clients.
Transforming how universities and institutions manage their campus-wide roofing portfolios using spatial visualization, helping prioritize maintenance, improve planning, and communicate risk across infrastructure and facilities teams.
There's a time to restore, a time to replace, and a cost associated with inaction.
Ready to transform your roofing challenges into strategic advantages?
Emergency roof failures force unplanned capital expenditures that can cost 70% more than proactive replacements
Without centralized portfolio data, universities cannot identify which roofs offer the best return on maintenance vs. replacement investment
The only system that combines predictive data analytics with hands-on roofing expertise and warranty management
Complete Portfolio interactive visualization using GIS technology
State-of-the-art lidar scanning, thermal imaging, and moisture analysis technology
Comprehensive warranty restoration and extension programs to maximize value
Strategic maintenance and replacement planning backed by predictive analytics
Seamless integration with existing facilities management systems
Ongoing guidance to ensure optimal performance
Warranty restoration programs can save more than 70% the cost of roof replacement while keeping disruption to a minimum
Portfolio risk reduction, predictable capital planning, warranty optimization
A major Big 12 University managing multiple campuses faced critical roofing challenges across their portfolio. Multiple buildings had voided warranties due to uncertified repairs, aging roofs threatened budget stability, and the lack of centralized data made strategic planning impossible. Emergency repairs were disrupting operations and consuming unplanned capital.

"Through PRIMO, we transformed our roofing portfolio from a reactive cost center into a strategic asset that supports our financial and sustainability objectives. The data-driven approach gives us the confidence to plan capital expenditures years in advance."- University Facilities Leadership
To support proactive capital planning and sustainability efforts, Primo Data implements a GIS-based workflow to evaluate roofing conditions and solar reflectivity across a diverse facility portfolio. Using ArcGIS Online, Experience Builder, and Field Maps, our team centralizes roof inspection data and visualizes risk, material performance, and lifecycle costs. These spatial insights and analytics enable smarter infrastructure decisions and improved long-term asset strategy.

Client challenges prior to utilizing our workflow product PRIMO:
CFOs would speak of emergency roof repairs and or replacements forcing them to delay other critical campus projects.
Risk Management teams in most cases were unaware of what buildings on campus were currently under a fully intact roof warranty, where the buildings' roofs stood within their lifecycles, and further what the cost to replace / asset value of their roofing portfolio, broken down building by building looked like.
Sustainability Directors many times were not aware of their current rooftop SRV values which contribute to their LEED / Carbon Neutral goals, and or the quantified availability of rooftop real estate available for the installation of more renewable energy sources.
Facilities directors struggle to prioritize maintenance across campuses with dozens and or hundreds of buildings, not having a complete data analytical structured system. One-off roof reports and repair quotes containing objective, non-data-based suggestions delivered to a facilities management team doesn't solve the overlying problem.
Many clients essentially fly blind when it comes to holistic knowledge of their roofing portfolio. We heard this said repeatedly: "we didn't know what we didn't know"
Roofing Consultants inspect roofs, create reports inclusive of their findings, and offer their suggestions to remedy, for a fee.
Architects take roof consultant reports, generate drawings and specifications identifying their suggestions for products and procedures for remedy, and publish a scope of work. The work done here is charged to the owner, most cases 6-10% of the overall cost of a project. Higher the cost of the project, higher the fee.
Roofing Product Manufacturers Representatives lobby both roof consultants and architects, offering their suggestions of product lines for roof remedy / restorations. They get paid to sell their products.
PRIMO is different: PRIMO is an interactive, data-based, spatially visualized, portfolio-wide roof management tool, built by actual roofing and technology professionals, providing performance-based solutions for portfolio management.
The above-mentioned one-off roof consultant, architect, and material supplier activities are non-performance based, charged as a fee, potentially biased, and do not serve as an overall solution for stakeholders.
With a predictive, risk-related moisture intrusion reduction program in place such as PRIMO, a university or institution may realize a 5% or more reduction of their insurance premium cost, dependent on the carrier.
With a proactive, roof-related energy efficiency protocol in place such as PRIMO, implementing cool + clean roofs (maximizing efficiency and reflectivity values), a university or institution may realize up to 30% savings by way of energy/utility costs.
With a preventative roof maintenance program in place such as PRIMO, universities and institutions will be enabled to head off roof-related failures and emergencies, which dependent on the magnitude, can go into the millions.
PRIMO is built on the ArcGIS platform by ESRI. Some examples of CMMS software that integrate with ESRI are as follows:
The technology piece can be created and built out concurrently with the on-site, rooftop data collection maximizing efficiency for the deliverable.
The timeframe for completion will vary widely from project to project dependent on ease of access, available lidar data, available roof related data, quantity of buildings per campus, quantity of campuses per university, etc.
Example: We completed a university campus with 150+ buildings, building out the technology piece, inclusive of collecting rooftop data in under 90 days.
PRIMO is roofing material manufacturer agnostic.
Relating to roof warranty restoration, it is best practice to align preservation product line manufacturers of material with the originally installed product line for ease of warranty revival or extension.
In cases where the original roofing manufacturer cannot be identified, the agnostic approach provides stakeholders a wide variety of non-biased, solution-based product applications to achieve new warranty status.
