Education Facility Roofing in Atlanta

Atlanta is home to one of the densest concentrations of higher education in the South - Georgia Tech, Emory University, Georgia State University, and the Atlanta University Center consortium including Spelman, Morehouse, and Clark Atlanta. The metro's K-12 systems - Atlanta Public Schools, Cobb County Schools, and Gwinnett County Public Schools - are in active SPLOST-funded capital construction cycles.

Georgia Tech's Midtown campus occupies a 400-acre footprint rooted in Technology Square and the surrounding research and academic buildings that have grown substantially since the 2014 expansion. Emory University's Druid Hills campus includes 80-plus academic, research, and residential buildings in a dense urban-suburban setting. Georgia State University's downtown Atlanta campus has absorbed significant commercial real estate from the surrounding Central Business District - its classroom and administrative buildings occupy former office towers along Peachtree Street and Broad Street. The Atlanta University Center - Spelman College, Morehouse College, and Clark Atlanta University on the connected southwest Atlanta campus - houses academic and residential facilities that span from early-20th-century construction to recent additions.

K-12 in the Atlanta metro operates at a different scale. Atlanta Public Schools manages approximately 100 school buildings. Cobb County Schools, one of the largest school systems in the Southeast, operates over 110 schools. Gwinnett County Public Schools - the largest school district in Georgia - maintains over 140 school buildings. All three systems are in active SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) capital cycles that fund new construction, major renovation, and deferred maintenance including roofing. SPLOST projects have specific public procurement requirements - competitive bid, defined documentation standards, public record requirements - that differ from private commercial procurement.

From our office in downtown Atlanta, we are adjacent to the Georgia State University campus and 15 minutes from both Georgia Tech and the Atlanta University Center.

Georgia Tech and other University System of Georgia (USG) institutions operate under the state's procurement code - capital projects above the mandatory bid threshold must go through a competitive bid process with public advertising, defined bid periods, and documentation requirements set by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC). Contractors working on USG campus facilities must meet the system's prequalification requirements, which include bonding capacity, insurance coverage levels, project experience documentation, and safety record verification.

GSFIC-administered projects also require specific closeout documentation - not just the standard manufacturer warranty package, but as-built drawings, material submittals, test and inspection reports, and a formal substantial completion certification through the GSFIC process. We are familiar with the GSFIC closeout documentation requirements and prepare project documentation to

Emory University is a private institution and does not operate under USG procurement requirements, but Emory's Facilities Management runs its own competitive procurement process for capital projects that imposes similar documentation and prequalification requirements. We understand the distinction and can operate under either procurement framework.
