Roof Requirements Brief
Fill this in and share it with your architect, structural engineer and roofing contractor. It captures what to provide; the engineer designs the structure and loads and the contractor executes.
Project overview
Roof form & use
- Flat RCC terrace
- Sloping / pitched roof
- Combination (flat + pitched)
- Terrace will be USED (garden / sit-out / drying / future floor)
- Future vertical extension planned
Covering & structure preference
Waterproofing, drainage & heat (tick priorities)
- Waterproofing to a high standard (non-negotiable)
- Slope & drainage sized for heavy rain
- Thermal insulation / cool roof for heat
- Green roof / terrace garden wanted
- Good roof ventilation
Solar & rainwater readiness
Budget & notes
Specify & decide. These templates help you plan, capture and question, and cover safe homeowner upkeep. Roof structural design, waterproofing application, re-roofing and any work at height must be carried out by a structural engineer and licensed roofing contractor. Work at height is dangerous — never walk a wet, sloping or fragile roof.
