WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN DESIGNING A NEW ROOF
2

• Whether youre thinking about a new roof for an
  existing building, or are having a home or
  business built from scratch, there are many
  elements that go into designing a new roof,
  including the following
• The materials
• What material you choose can have a vital role in
  the shape, strength and cost of a roof, and its
  something youll want to discuss in detail with
  your roofing contractor, at the very beginning of
  the project.

• Building codes
• Each state has different requirements and
  limitations on what you can build a roof from,
  and how you build it, and these will be a
  determining factor when you come to have your
  roof professionally installed. Codes can impact
  the size, shape and structure of your roof, and
  your roofing contractor will be able to guide you
  as to what you can and cant have in your state
  and area.
• Your surroundings
• Take a close look at whats surrounding your home
  and think about whether it could hinder the new
  roof. Are there trees with branches that will
  overhang the roof, or power lines close by that
  youll have to account for?

• The roofs purpose
• This may sound silly, as naturally the roof is
  designed to protect the building beneath it, but
  do you want the roof to be purely for protection,
  or do you want it to look attractive and add to
  your propertys curb appeal? If youre looking
  for a certain aesthetic, remember that this may
  add to your budget a detailed discussion with
  your chosen roofing contractor will help you make
  a more informed decision.

• Your budget
• The cost of your roof must be something you
  carefully budget for when designing and building
  your home, or adding to it, and with the help of
  your roofer, you should be able to get an
  accurate estimate of the total cost.

• Take all of the above into account
• To get the roof thats ideal for your needs,
  whatever they may be, youll need to carefully
  consider each of the above points and sit down
  for a detailed discussion with your roofer and
  their team. Once the roof has been designed and
  construction gets under way, it may be too late
  to make any changes at least not without a lot
  of extra expense so have a firm idea of what
  you want and how much youre willing to pay, well
  in advance of signing any contracts and allowing
  work to get underway.
