Design-Build Roof Replacement for the Charles Schwab Data Center

Charles Schwab needed a leaking ballasted roof replaced before the end of 2020 while an interior remodel was underway. TEMA’s single-contract design-build approach kept the project on schedule with strict cleanliness controls.

The challenge

The ballasted roof was leaking heavily over a newly remodeled interior, so replacement could not wait.

Because of COVID precautions and the data center environment, crews could not access the roof from inside the building.

The TEMA solution

TEMA used a single-contract design-build delivery to skip the traditional competitive bidding process and define the scope clearly from the start.

TEMA set up exterior scaffolding for all access and managed debris and cleanliness to protect sensitive equipment.

The result

The full replacement was completed within the two-month window, protecting the new interior before year end.
