Sure, so long as the roof is structurally sound and the greenhouse isn't too big.You'll want to place it over a main beam or in an area that has walls under it to support the extra weight...or you'll have to add extra beams under it.You should get an engineer to look at it first. The building inspectors will probably want to see a plan with an engineers stamp on it anyway.

Are concrete blocks cheaper then a concrete slab?

That's sort of a strange question. A concrete slab is a horizontal surface -- it's meant to be a surface you stand on or build things on. Concrete blocks are usually used for vertical surfaces -- walls. I believe that poured concrete walls are more expensive than concrete block walls. You wouldn't use concrete blocks as a substitute for a concrete slab.
