Background
Call to Action
The roofing industry is one of the most diverse industries in terms of the materials, products and value chain involved. Although there is a wealth of information available, the information is fragmented. In addition, most of the statistics available today from the product
or material-related associations report metrics differently, making it difficult to marry the sources and plan for future changes and
shifts.
Goal of The Roofing Alliance for Progress
The goal for the Alliance is to provide access to new and improved industry data to its members to support the industry in making
informed decisions. Sales of the data to non-Alliance members will also generate some additional revenue.

Benefits
5
Position the Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress as the “go to”/ information hub for the roofing industry.
Address key challenges that the industry faces to help make more informed decisions.
Allow the Alliance and its members to be forward looking toward innovative growth opportunities but also have a process to be strategic and intelligent in the way that growth strategies are pursued.

The Process – a three pronged approach
6
Internal Audit
• Define data sources readily available and being used (e.g. construction, census, etc.)
• Identify associations to target for program buy in. For example:• ARMA• SPRI• PIMA• RCMA
Feasibility
• In-depth telephone interviews with Association Directors to determine• Likelihood to participate• Information available• Requirements• Format of data output and
frequency• Preliminary member interviews
to define:• Program appeal• Ideal offering/ content• Frequency
• Determine what knowledge gaps exist and how to define/ pursue for full program rollout
Program Rollout
• If the Alliance votes to further pursue this program, rollout will entail:• Define final program
parameters for implementation:• Qualitative and quantitative
data points• Analysis, modeling,
forecasting• Delivery of information (e.g.
hard copy, electronic copy, web-based dashboards, etc.)
• Approach and resources needed to fulfill program deliverable
• Sample strawman/ deliverable format
• Key milestones/ rollout dates • Annual review meetings

Agenda
The goal of this meeting is to address the following
questions:
1. Is a roofing industry tracking program appealing?
2. What information gaps exist?
3. What content should be considered?
4. What are next steps?

IS A TRACKING PROGRAM APPEALING?
Roofing State of the Industry Tracking Program

The concept of a tracking program is extremely appealing…

… the roofing industry is seeking MORE, and BETTER information
11
• Material trend and regional forecasts• Building and market segmentations• Staying ahead on product technology trends• Identify and expand into markets with growth opportunities• Local market intelligence to plan effectively• Data serves as a scorecard to compare with overall market trends• Legislative clout and credibility to the roofing industry• Information clearinghouse for roofing industry• Foundation to respond to and create codes as well as communicate to all
segments of the industry“This is the worst industry in terms of data that I have been a part of. It’s spotty
data, you’ve got to be a member of ARMA or SPRI or both and some manufacturers don’t want to be a member of both and virtually no contractors are members of those. So I think this is very worthwhile and needed project.” -Manufacturer
What is Driving Interest?

Based on the each channel’s willingness to participate, this program is likely feasible to execute successfully.

“Very useful if the geographic scope is narrowed so we can act on it and know where to focus our resources.” –Distributor“Aggregating the ARMA, SPRI and PIMA data in a meaningful way will be great.” – Manufacturer“This would create more information sharing between manufacturing, contracting, and specifying.” –Roofing Contactor“Yes, we are starved for data to make data driven decisions.” -Manufacturer“That’s something the board would have to approve. If the data is guarded I think it will be fine. We would release it to our members and then we’d use it to help estimate the size of any particular issue coming up.” -Association

WHAT GAPS EXIST?Roofing State of the Industry Tracking Program
Confidential - © Ducker Worldwide 1250 Maplelawn | Troy | Michigan | 48084 248.644.0086 www.ducker.com
On an unprompted basis, several gaps exist…
14
What Information Gaps Exist?
Confidential - © Ducker Worldwide 1250 Maplelawn | Troy | Michigan | 48084 248.644.0086 www.ducker.com
15
1. Industry Information Construction spending
System definitions – value vs. costPublic spending, release of fundsCapital improvement spending
Education of Industry:Benefits of “roof systems”, warranties, materialsDefining a roof “system” and relationship between value and cost
2. System Data Segmentations: Construction TypeMaterial SegmentationsRegional: Canada-USExport Unit and $ VolumePerformance and efficiency trendsCosts (installed cost)
… however key themes emerge. The use of and need for Business Intelligence centers around specific industry market size and segmentation data along with industry information. Intelligence provides an understanding of materials/companies’ relative position in the industry, guides strategy and budget development.

16
The use of information Measurement & Tracking of Policy Making includes understanding the impact of technological advancements (audit) and education effectiveness
3. Measuring Effectiveness - Shifts and changes in data (by material or region) provide “fact base”
- ‘Fact base” supports or refutes necessity of continuation or changes to policies (correlation)- Examples: thermal performance, use of solar products, shifts to metal roofing materials, etc.
4. Other Industry Measures
- Penetration of technology improvements- Level of adoption/contribution to growth- Audit technologies – contribution to efficiency, etc. - Clearinghouse of information that serves as the foundation for industry communication and support- Education quotient: determine level of “education” and understanding within industry for systems, policies, technologies, etc.

Though several gaps exist, it is important to define which elements should be prioritized for further consideration based on frequency of mention and potential value.

Key Success Factors
24
PARTICIPATION is the key to success of this program:
• Formal approval and contracts from all key associations• Develop a task force to align on objectives, standards and delivery• Incentivize to encourage participation of both member AND
nonmember participation
PRIORITIZATION of the most impactful information to track over time
• Ducker will likely will not be able to include ALL gaps identified by the industry, but will prioritize the most critical elements for tracking purposes
• Additional ad hoc projects can be executed upon request to address some areas not covered in the tracking program
