Converting Tiled Roof To A Sky Terrace With Roof Garden

[changi 0]

i am toying with the idea of :

(1) converting the clay tiled pitch roof that has been sheltering my two-storey corner terrace into a flat roof with a roof garden (with trellis) and a small utility room and a lavatory (optional); and of course

(2) stair case leading up to the sky roof.

now, would anyone know if i should approach an architect or professional engineer or contractor or interior designer for such works?

would such works require approval from bca (or whatever authority there is) and if approval given a straightforward matter?

if anyone knows the estimated cost of embarking in such works, pls do share for budgetary purpose.

thank you in advance

Hi,

For works such that, you can engaged a contractor if you already have a specific and detail idea how it is gonna look like, but if you still searching idea, better to engaged architect, I think it is quite a tricky job too,

often enough i have seen people using the artificial tuft to pave the roof garden for very good effect
