Abstract:
An improved sub-structural roof construction component which provides support for exterior building metal roofing materials, which allows for standard components designed and manufactured in factory to be installed at jobsite, and which can accommodate variations required in the field. These framing components can be adjusted in field for height and can be rotated to fit the customer's roof design slope.

Claim (Index 29):
A method of constructing a new roofing structure over an existing roofing structure of a building, the method comprising:\n providing at least one roof framing assembly capable of providing sub-structural support for exterior roofing materials over an existing roofing structure of a building, the assembly comprising:\n a top shaped element having a longitudinal element axis and an element portion and a first horizontal portion extending along said longitudinal axis, said element portion having a front and back side, said first horizontal portion extending outwardly from said front side of said element portion, said element portion including an element connection arrangement positioned between a first and second end of said element portion, said first horizontal portion configured to provide a mounting surface for the exterior building roofing materials; \n a first vertical web element having a longitudinal axis and a first web portion extending along said longitudinal first web axis, said first web portion having a front and back side and including a web connection arrangement configured to releasably connect to said element connection arrangement of said element portion, said web connection arrangement and said element connection arrangement when releasably connected together configured to enable said top shape element to be connected to said first vertical web element and to enable said top shape element to rotate about a rotation axis that is normal to said first web axis such that said top shape element can be positioned at a plurality of angles relative to said first vertical web, said back side of said element portion faces front side of said first web portion and said longitudinal element axis and said longitudinal first web axis are nonparallel to one another when said top shaped element is releasably connected to said first vertical web element; \n a second vertical web element having a second web portion extending along a longitudinal second web axis, said second vertical web element having a front and back side and including an adjustable connection arrangement to releasably connect to said first vertical web element and to enable said first vertical web to be secured to said second vertical web at different locations along a longitudinal length of said second vertical web, said longitudinal first web axis oriented parallel to said longitudinal second web axis when said first vertical web element is releasably connected to said second vertical web element; and, \n a base element having a base portion extending along a longitudinal base axis, said base portion connected to said second vertical web element such that said longitudinal base axis and said longitudinal second web axis are nonparallel to one another, said base element configured to connect to the existing roofing structure of the building; \n securing the at least one roof framing assembly to the existing roofing structure of the building; vertically adjusting the height of the at least one roof framing assembly to accommodate the desired height of the new roofing structure; rotationally adjusting the pitch and/or slope of the at least one roof framing assembly to accommodate the desired pitch of the new roofing structure; sufficiently securing the at least one roof framing assembly in position; positioning the new roofing structure over the at least one roof framing assembly; and, securing the new roofing structure to the at least one roof framing assembly.
