I am building a double storey house and the builders have almost finished the brickwork.
How long does it take from this point to put the roof on?
Does anyone have a a time scale of how long to the roof come on?
Thank you Ritk

ours was done before brickwork.strange way to do it though as they hung scaffold up around the gutter line for the roofer then took that down and put proper scaffold up for the bricky.

Our roof went on first as well. Apparently this is called a reverse build. They did it because the bricky wasn't available. I'd say your roof will go on as soon as the tradie is available.
