Avoid the Clash: Membrane Mismatches Cost More Than You Think
In NZ’s fast-paced waterproofing market, quoting is often rushed, and membrane system choices are made under pressure. But overlooking compatibility — between membranes, substrates, or detailing - is a recipe for costly mistakes.
At AQUOSYNC, we’ve seen firsthand how clear QS insight helps avoid these traps. Our takeoffs don’t just count quantities — they consider context. We tag incompatible systems, flag risk-prone areas (like junctions or transitions), and clarify which systems are fit-for-purpose per zone (roof vs wet area vs below ground).
This upfront precision helps project managers and applicators:
Eliminate guesswork when pricing
Reduce back-and-forth with suppliers
Prevent rework due to wrong material selection
Streamline sequencing with other trades
We’re not picking systems - that’s for you and your supplier. But with our QS eyes, we help you see what fits before you commit.
Bring QS Precision to Your Projects
If you're tired of revisiting jobs due to the wrong spec, or quoting without confidence - let's talk.
AQUOSYNC’s QS service gives waterproofers a clear, clean starting point — every time.
