Surveyors & Specifiers
Architects, building surveyors, structural engineers and consulting engineers specifying waterproofing and protective coating systems require manufacturer technical data, substrate suitability evidence, and a specification partner who can support the design process — not just supply materials. Forti Nova works directly with design professionals to provide accurate system information, application constraints and warranty structures that can be incorporated confidently into specifications.
Sector Pressures & Constraints
Design professionals carry professional liability for the specifications they produce. A waterproofing or coating specification that fails — due to incorrect system selection, inadequate substrate preparation guidance, or warranty provisions that don't survive the test of a defects claim — creates professional and financial exposure. The specifier needs to know exactly what the system does, what it doesn't do, what the substrate requirements are, and what the manufacturer will and won't cover. Vague or marketing-heavy system information creates specification risk.
Refurbishment Context
Building surveyors and project managers conducting condition surveys on commercial and industrial buildings frequently identify failing flat roofs, deteriorating metal-roof cladding, leaking gutters and compromised below-ground waterproofing as the primary building fabric defects. The specification decision is typically whether to strip and replace, patch-repair, or overlay. For buildings where the existing substrate is sound, liquid rubber overlay systems provide a specification option that offers the performance of a new waterproofing system without the cost and disruption of strip-out — provided the correct system is selected and specified.
How Forti Nova Works with Surveyors & Specifiers
Forti Nova provides direct technical support to design professionals at specification stage. We supply system data sheets, application guidance, substrate suitability matrices and warranty structures for both the Liquid Rubber and Prokol ranges. We can participate in pre-specification meetings, provide written technical responses to specification queries, and advise on system selection for specific substrate and exposure conditions. We do not lobby for proprietary specification where a system is not appropriate — our reputation depends on systems being specified correctly.
