An architect is not required on a roofing project consisting of an exact replacement necessary for maintenance of the building. If the pitch of the roof is to be altered or if a new roofing material will be used, the services of a registered architect and/or licensed professional engineer will be required to evaluate whether the building’s structural system will support the intended changes. The new roofing materials shall satisfy the industry-recognized assembly fire rating requirements corresponding to the rating of the existing roof assembly.
