Construction of a reliable scaffold
For laying the roof structure, a properly-built scaffold is necessary. Often it is already needed for the construction of the walls. Where this is not the case, the scaffolding must be built subsequently.
Preparing the walls
For a proper installation of the roof, an accurately and evenly laid roof structure is important. This is only possible if the supporting walls are built accurately as well.
Walls must be laid out accurately, with rectangular corners. This can be done by checking the diagonal dimensions of the rooms. They must be equal.
Erection of roof structure
If trusses are used, they should be assembled in a workshop or at the site on the ground. The ground must be perfectly even. To ensure accuracy and uniformity a template should be used.
If the roof is not erected immediately, trusses must be stored in a dry and shady place.
Machineries Used
Crane Lift
Drill
Wood Cutter
Structure
a timber frame for a flat roof is usually the cheapest option and the easiest to build. But this type of roof is seldom as attractive as the pitched form as it can result in a blocky, stunted appearance
Finishes for flat roofs are also more limited.
In a simple pitched timber roof, the horizontal timber members (beams) called purlins support the sloping secondary timber members (rafters)
