construction.

1.2 MATERIALS:

If the contractor proposes alternative materials, the OWNER and ARCHITECT must approve the
choice of roofing materials before installation can proceed. Roofing materials must be installed
according to the manufacturer's specifications and be free of defects. "Bird Stopper Edges" or down
endings for roof edges must be installed with OWNER approval; roofing terminations should be
carefully addressed. The roof ends along the eave sections shall include fascia boards, down edges,
and bird stoppers. The ARCHITECT will require mock-ups for approval before execution.
PART 2 - MATERIAL

UNDERSHEETING: The under sheathing should consist of pre-painted, long-span, GA 24 (0.6 mm)
corrugated GI roof, or an approved substitute, to be applied to all roof finishes (refer to Roof Plan).

Flashings must be made from GA 24 (0.6 mm) stainless steel sheet.

PART3: EXECUTION

ROOFING: Position the roofing sheets so that the overlapped sides face away from the direction of
the prevailing wind. Ensure the ends have a minimum of 0.30 m of development, and that the side
laps on both sides include at least 1 1/2 m of corrugation. Fasten the roofing sheets to the purlins
using Tek screws. FLASHING: Flashing shall consist of standard Gauge 24 G.I. layers placed on top
of the long-span GI roofing, ensuring no overlaps are less than 0.30 m.
