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.
