Roof, which one is best and when, and why? Experiences wanted

Hey guys

I plan to build a small single-family house next year, but I don't yet know which roof to choose. Who knows about this?

You first need a plot of land. Different rules apply to each plot (in DE [Bebauungsplan] or [Einfügungsgebot], in AT I suppose something similar). Simply choosing a roof does not help if the rules for the plot then foil your plans.

What do you even mean by the question: gable, shed, or hip roof, or tile, concrete block, or zinc?

P.S.: Your question is already in the right category here, no need to post it twice.

Hey :)
I already have a plot, building class 1, semi-detached, 40% buildable, there are no excessive regulations in the settlement. I mean the question like this, at first I thought of a normal gable, shed, or hip roof but for a one-story building, so just one level, a bungalow roof is suitable which, however, costs significantly more and involves more effort, then again I thought if I already invest more effort and money I might as well go for a flat roof

I would be interested to know which roof is usually cheaper. Gable, hip, shed, flat, or offset gable or shed roof, if the covering is done in the standard range. Can you even say that?

Well, it's a matter of taste how a house should look... (after all local regulations have been complied with).

OT: A few punctuation marks don't hurt, then maybe one can understand the sentence...

Apart from the fact that the truss construction variant is cheaper than rafters (but unfortunately more suitable for a "lid" than for usable attic space), one can generally say that more ridges or more hips make the roof structure more complex (ditto dormers, etc.). As far as the roofing is concerned, some roof tiles can only be used up to about 20...22° pitch, and with an even flatter slope you have to use others. With a clipped gable mansard roof with bat dormers on a jagged angled floor plan, you would hit the mark both taste-wise and price-wise ;-)
