Adding battens on top does not change underlying structure, the extra weight of battens is inconsequential and the increased height due to slope also appears inconsequential. If you choose metal deck roof your slope can go down to 1 degree, 2 degrees for Trimdek Foremost Building Expert in Australia,assisting with building problems/disputes, building stage inspections,pre-contract review advice for peace of mind 200 blogs http://www.buildingexpert.net.au/blog Re: Building permit for roof alteration? 3Sep 10, 2021 12:11 pm hboGYT I have perused Scheduled 3 of Building Regulations 2018, and it seems that the proposed works may not be exempt from a building permit because: 1. Installing extra battens increases the load on the building, thus adversely affecting the structural soundness of the building; 2. Increasing the fall of the flat roof also increases its height. Though the height of the entire building is not changed, because the maximum height occurs over the main roof, as shown in the schematic; and 3. It alters the roof support structure. So what do you think? Do I need a permit or not? You will also require an engineers wind loading classification/certification Chances are the old structure is non compliant with the current codes and NCC and an alternate engineer solution may be required Check with your council Building dept Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs No, not yet.
