What will the cost of the green roof be? <br /> The price of the green roof can vary due to the fact that the green roof can be <br /> installed manually or through a contractor. We contacted various roofing and green roof <br /> technicians in the hopes of finding a price range for the green roof supplies and <br /> installation. Most of the people we contacted suggested that we use LiveRoof®' for the <br /> supplies that are needed to install the green roof. The following pricing was provided by <br /> LiveRoof and previous installers of LiveRoof®2. The protective layer that prevents <br /> leakage is a loose lay white layer that is about 45 mm thick that costs about $0.50 per <br /> ft2. The roofing trays that cover the entire roof cost approximately $15.00 per ft2 plus $1 <br /> per ft2 for delivery. Installation of the green roof is an additional $15.00 per ft2 and is an <br /> important variable to factor in when deciding how to complete this project. This also <br /> includes that perimeter roof edge that helps with water runoff and keeping LiveRoof <br /> secure. Irrigation is an important aspect of the green roof that is necessary for the <br /> success of the green roof survival. For $2.00 per ft2, an irrigation system can be <br /> installed on top of the roof which consists of laying small hoses on the trays that water <br /> the plants equally and adequately. <br /> 1 We decided to use LiveRoof®as an example of professional green roof suppliers as a model for price <br /> and materials provided.There are other green roof suppliers that could be used as well such as Eco- <br /> Rooj@ and Columbia Green®, but for simplicity, we used LiveRoof throughout this report <br /> 2 Mike Mehring, Sales Manager of Central Roofing, Minneapolis, MN, 612-408-1400 Conversation with <br /> Mike happened on April 14th, 2016 <br /> 9 <br />
