Happy to help. You should consider the following details when visiting and designing a commercial roof system.
Are penetrations allowed?
Roof Dimensions with locations and sizes of obstructions
Roof structure details (how is the roof constructed) including a section of the roof finish from roof deck to roof covering / finish. This will provide the following information:
framing member type/size/spacing
roof covering / finish (membrane, tar & gravel, BUR, concrete, other) including manufacturer and model
if penetrations are required / allowed - the type of fastener (wood / metal thread) and length
load capacity of roof finish
Building Height
Design wind speed
Design snow load
Seismic zone
Building Risk Category
Parapet present and if so, height
