Platforms for construction of the roof which was very high - about 5m for eaves to top ridge. I wanted to have the roof as the mail recognisable feature of the house and was prepared to pay the additional cost for this.chiymanJan 18, 2011

Seems like a lot of steel in that roof. Shame they didnt follow my original design - would have saved about 25% of the steel required - what can one do when you are not there to supervise directly?chiymanJan 18, 2011
