Class A Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is specified within Class A fire-rated assemblies, helping reduce ignition risk while supporting long-term performance in wildfire-prone residential environments.
Earth'smart powered by tect specifies standing seam metal roofing systems as part of resilient, fire-hardened homes designed for long service life, lower lifecycle cost, and stronger protection against wind-driven embers. Through early manufacturer coordination, Class A roof assemblies are integrated with non-combustible eaves, ember-resistant venting, and structural requirements so the roof performs as part of the whole home system.
Long-life metal roof systems coordinated for fire resistance, durability, structural performance, and whole-home resilience.
Standing seam metal roofing is specified within Class A fire-rated assemblies, helping reduce ignition risk while supporting long-term performance in wildfire-prone residential environments.
Earth'smart powered by tect coordinates roofing with non-combustible eaves, soffits, ember-resistant venting, and fire-resistive wall-to-roof transitions so the roof performs as one connected system.
Roof systems are aligned with structural requirements for seismic, fire, and where applicable snow-load conditions, supporting durable homes designed for 50–100+ year performance.
Earth'smart powered by tect begins by evaluating the home’s wildfire exposure, structural context, roof geometry, lifecycle expectations, and insurance documentation needs. These early decisions establish the performance criteria for a standing seam metal roof that supports the entire home strategy.
Earth'smart powered by tect brings commercial-grade coordination to resilient custom home delivery.
One coordinated approach connects architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturers, and permit strategy from the start.
TectApp™ connects projects with 70+ product manufacturers behind roofing, envelope, fire, and structural systems.
Homes are engineered to perform across structure, systems, and envelope for generations.
Long-life assemblies help reduce re-roofing risk, maintenance costs, and insurance-related uncertainty.
Resilient design leadership for performance-driven custom homes.
AIA — Founder, Architect and Manufacturer Advisor
Bob Habian, AIA, brings a rare cross-sided perspective to the building industry: he has been a licensed architect specifying products, a building product manufacturer owner selling them, and an advisor to more than 300 manufacturers working to reach architects and project teams more effectively. That combination sits behind everything tect does. On the owner side, Bob leads Tect's Earth'smart™ practice delivering 100+ year homes engineered to perform across structure, systems and envelope for homeowners across Northern, Central and Southern California — homes built to withstand fire, flood and earthquake exposure while minimizing long-term maintenance cost. On the manufacturer side, Bob leads the tect network of nearly 70 participating building product manufacturers and the Manufacturer Resource Hub, helping manufacturer CEOs, sales and marketing leaders, technical leadership and product representatives understand how architects actually choose products, contribute earlier in design, build genuine product-category expertise, form complementary alliances, and make credible human expertise discoverable in search and AI. His consistent argument to manufacturers is that project teams do not need another channel that exposes products — they need trustworthy expertise available at the moment a decision is forming. Bob draws on AIA specification research, anonymized patterns from work across hundreds of manufacturers, and direct experience on both sides of the specification conversation.
A Class A roof assembly provides the highest fire-resistance rating under standard fire testing, offering better protection against severe fire exposure than Class B. Class B assemblies provide moderate fire resistance. For wildfire-prone homes, earth'smart powered by tect focuses on Class A non-combustible roofing integrated with eaves, vents, walls, and ember-resistant detailing so the assembly performs as a complete protective system.
