Broward County Convention Center

The Broward County Convention Center is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale and is a very popular venue for exhibitions, trade shows, large meetings, and conferences. The building is three stories high and has 600,000 square feet of facility space. Because the Broward County Convention Center is a highly occupied building, Project Manager Clint Sockman performed extensive coordination with the owner to ensure the occupants would not be disturbed during the re-roofing process.

Over the course of four months, the Advanced Roofing crew applied a Soprema Modified system on the tectum decks and a Fibertite system on the concrete decks of the building in different stages. Advanced Air Systems also performed work on the roof by attaching curb reinforcements to all existing exhaust fans. Because the Broward County Convention Center was insured by Factual Mutual, Advanced Roofing was required to follow stringent guidelines during the re-roofing process, which added more difficulty to an already complicated job.

Advanced Roofing went above and beyond to work around the owner’s schedule throughout the entire roofing process, including during demolition. The roofers worked nights and weekends, and even completely shut down operations at times to accommodate the Convention Center’s calendar. This job is a perfect example of how Advanced Roofing will make the necessary adjustments in planning in order to ensure the customer happiness. No matter the complications, they will get the job done right the first time.
