Roof Plan

A roof plan is one showing the outline of the roof and the major object lines indicating ridges, valleys, hips and openings.
The roof plan is not a framing plan, but a plan view of the roof. To develop a roof framing plan, a roof must be stripped
of its covering to expose the position of each structural member and each header. The roof plan can be used as the basic
outline for the roof framing plan. Below are samples of blueprint drawings of roof plans, roof framing plan, and other
informative drawings.

Different Types of Roofing Sheets:

1. Corrugated G.I Sheet - is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanized mild steel, cold-rolled to
produce a linear corrugated pattern in them.
2. 4-V Corrugated Sheet
3. Ardex Corrugated Sheet
4. Kanalelas Corrugated Sheet
5. Steel Bricks
6. Color bond Custom Orb

Roof Framing Plan

The following are the types of roof frame and the important elements that you must be familiar in the roof framing
plan. Each of these elements can be better understood as you go on to the discussion particularly in the presentation of
sample illustrations in the preceding pages.

Types of roof frame:

 Rafter Type
 Truss Type

Rafter Type
 Common Rafter – extended at right angles from the plate or girts to the ridge
 Hip Rafter – laid diagonally from the corner of the plate or girts to the ridge
 Valley Rafter – placed diagonally from the plate or girts at the intersection of gable extension with the main
roof
 Jack Rafter – any rafter which does not extend from the plate or girts to the ridge
 Hip Jack – framed between hip rafters and girts
 Valley Jack – framed between the ridge and valley rafter
 Cripple Jack – frame between the hip and the valley rafter
 Octagonal Rafter – placed on an octagonal shaped plate at the central apex or ridge pole

Truss – is a built-up frame commonly employed on a long span roof unsupported by intermediate columns or
partitions. Its design shows a series of triangles used to distribute load, stiffen the structure and flexibility for the
interior spacing as well as strenght and rigidity.
