The deliverable should make the roof context, obstructions and open questions clear to somebody who was not at the property.
1) Roof overview + scaling
- Wide photos of each roof face
- Reference shots that support scaling
- Notes where layout constraints matter
2) Obstructions + constraints
- Chimneys, vents, skylights, dormers documented clearly
- Notes that explain what each constraint means for the proposed work
- Evidence grouped by category for fast review
3) Electrical evidence (where required)
- Meter / cut-out / consumer unit photos
- Main fuse rating and spare ways captured
- Constraints highlighted early
