Abstract 5 A prefabricated roof module comprising a ceiling subassembly and a rafter subassembly is transformable between a flat pack configuration for ease of transportation and an inclined in-use configuration for forming the roof or roof support of a building in which 10 the ceiling subassembly comprises a multitude of spaced apart substantially parallel ceiling framework members hingedly connected at one respective ends collectively to respective one ends of spaced apart substantially parallel rafter members forming the rafter subassembly. Different 15 length webs movably attached to either the ceiling framework members or the rafter framework members at spaced apart locations extend between the ceiling subassembly and the rafter subassembly to support the rafter subassembly in the inclined in use configuration to 20 form the roof or roof support of the building. The advantage of the roof module is that after being manufactured in an off-site manufacturing facility, the module can be lifted into position and transformed into the inclined in use configuration to save time and money 25 during construction of the building. 11503789_1 (GHMatters) P108934.AU.1 5/07/19 14 32 35 35 -16 , 32 <12 14 FIGURE 10 -12 FIGURE 11 2
