Roof-system pathway: retractable louvre, tilt roof or heavy-duty tilt
AUVENOR · PROJECT AUTHORITY CENTRE
Move from product interest to a controlled project specification.
Coordinate retractable louvre roofs, tilt-roof systems and integrated side enclosure around span, structural profile, roof movement, drainage, lighting, blinds, power, wind/environment and exact-system evidence.
01 · PROJECT INPUTS
Define the conditions before the exact system is released.
These inputs are deliberately upstream of model selection so the product does not dictate the brief.
Plan dimensions, post count and required clear opening
Blade/roof movement objective and parking geometry
Integrated blinds/screens and enclosure intent
Lighting and other electrical/control requirements
Rainwater, gutter and discharge route
Wind, coastal/salt and other environmental exposure
Foundation/fixing/substrate, freight and installation responsibility
02 · EVIDENCE CONTROL
Keep project claims attached to what the evidence actually proves.
Generic declarations, outdated catalogues or unrelated certificates should not be carried into a project as exact-system evidence.
Exact profile/member dimensions for quoted configuration
Exact blade/span limits and structural evidence
Motor/control documentation
Integrated blind/screen compatibility
Drainage/gutter details
Coating/corrosion suitability
Wind/project engineering evidence and exact-system drawings
03 · CAD / DRAWING REGISTER
Planning references are not exact-system construction drawings.
Every drawing/model status stays visible so consultants know what can be used now and what only exists after configuration or project-specific design.
| Resource | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| AUVENOR roof / enclosure concept / planning layout | Public planning | Early scope, interface and consultant coordination only. |
| Generic technical reference / typical detail | Public planning | Explains system logic without representing an exact supplied configuration. |
| Exact-system GA / dimensional drawing | Exact-system | Issued only after the quoted system/configuration is known. |
| Native CAD / DWG / DXF | Verify availability | Availability and revision must be confirmed against the exact supplied system. |
| BIM / Revit / IFC object | Verify availability | Only described as BIM where a genuine verified native model exists. |
| Foundation / fixing / setting-out drawing | Project-specific | Depends on site/building conditions, local engineering and the selected system. |
| Services / electrical / controls interface | Project-specific | Coordinates the supplied system with local power, data, water, drainage or controls. |
04 · SPECIFICATION STARTER
Write the project around performance, interfaces and evidence.
These clauses are a project-planning structure, not a substitute for local professional specifications or exact-system documentation.
System pathway and roof movement
Plan geometry/post arrangement
Structural profiles and limits
Drainage/rainwater route
Integrated blinds/enclosure
Lighting/power/controls
Wind/environment criteria
Foundation/fixing scope
Evidence/warranty/maintenance
05 · TENDER / RFP SCHEDULE
Ask bidders for the same controlled information.
A consistent schedule makes technical comparison easier and reduces hidden assumptions.
Project/site plan
Required dimensions
System pathway
Post/clear-opening priorities
Blinds/enclosure
Lighting/controls
Wind/environment
Drainage
Foundation/fixing
Evidence/drawings/freight
06 · OPERATIONS & HANDOVER
Specify how the system will be maintained after delivery.
Maintenance, spares, records and inspection should be defined before purchase, especially for remote or high-use projects.
Roof/moving-blade inspection
Track/drive maintenance
Integrated blind maintenance
Drainage cleaning
Lighting/control service
Fastener/connection inspection
Coating/coastal maintenance
High-wind operating procedure
AUTHORITY GUIDES
Go deeper on the decisions that usually control the project.
These guides sit below the owner page and above exact product selection, so search, specification and project planning all point to the same technical logic.
