roof installation ends
All materials of the original roof, including cladding, understructure, and insulation, have been fixed in place.
Installation of a structure's roof ends when all materials belonging to the roof, including cladding, understructure, and insulation, are affixed into place during the initial construction phase. This does not include any kind of roof renovation work; that would be indicated by the event "roof renovation ends".
The roof installation is complete only when all of its specified materials are in position. Finishing the supporting understructure alone leaves the event pending if roof cladding or insulation remains to be installed.
The event completes the initial work recorded by roof installation begins. A replacement or improvement project on an existing roof is recorded through roof renovation events.
