A roof plan is an architectural plan that ties all the elements of a roof together from dimensions, pitch/slope, placement of vents and drainage and material specifications.
While project specifics may vary, all roof plans should show the outline of the roof overlaid on top of the building perimeter walls and include the structural details.
Depending on the type and complexity of the roof, a roofing plan may include:
- Dimensions and styles of windows and skylights
- Shape (such as A-frame or gambrel)
- Trim colors
- Runoff specifications
- Downspout styles and finishes
- Flashing type
- Tile or shingle patterns
- Chimney placement and design
- Dormer styles
- Transitions
- Overhangs and eaves
- Ridge start and end points
- Roof scuppers
When roof plans are created, they are typically created using a 2D plan. A more complex roof plan may include a 3D rendering.
Roofing plans are used by designers, home builders, remodelers and architects to ensure any roof they design is structurally sound.
