Villa Works · Louvred Roofs
Can I add an aluminium louvred roof to my villa terrace?
In most communities, yes, with the developer NOC, stamped calculations and the building permit before installation.
The short answer
In most communities, yes, but it needs approval first. An aluminium louvred roof is a pergola-type structure, so you need the developer NOC, stamped structural calculations including wind loads, and the building permit from the authority for the area. Some communities limit the size, height or position. Structural Solutions checks your community rules, prepares the drawings and calculations and applies for you.
