hsc | Roofs and Envelope Revit
ROOF BUILDup AND OUTRIGGER BEAM STUDY The project consists of 29 Dowel Laminated Timber roofs with glazing and metal panel envelope. Each roof comprised of outrigger steel beams, water and thermal proofing layers, drainage penetration, mechanical penetration, mechanical well, roof ladder, and more. My responsibility is to study the roofs and envelope, identify, and coordinate with internal and external consultants to solve unique detail conditions while preserving the design intent. One of the many challenges we face on the project is maintaining water and thermal proofing with the height of the outrigger beams required by the roof type and size. The trick is to meet the design intent of specified roof fascia height and clerestory curb clearance. Any new variable in roof structure requires rigorous study and problem-solving on the roof to ensure that the roof functions properly while meeting code requirement and design intent. 5
