Roofs may be functionally flat or "pitched". In building construction, roof pitch is a numerical measure of the steepness of a roof. A flat roof on the otherhand, is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. If you have a flat roof, there is probably a leak in it or there will be a need for a flat roof repairs in the future.
Because indians generally want to build 2 to 4 floors over and over on the flat roof...

Continuous roof systems are called membrane roofing. This roofs are used for buildings and tanks. They are built on flat or nearly flat roofs to prevent leaks and help drain water off.

flat roofing is simply a flat roof structure, ie their is no slope in the roof, it is completely flat. For that reason it has to be super waterproof has rain will collect and stay on the roof.
A flat roof is a type of roof that is nearly horizontal to the building itself. A flat roof design is intended to allow water run-off by building the flat roof at a slight incline.
A flat roof would be better than a sloped roof because a flat roof is significantly cheaper to build. Another consideration of a flat roof would be that it is a more modern design and would fit a more contemporary home.

A flat roof is a maintenance nightmare year after year. So many people have made that mistake only to later put a pitched roof over the flat roof to avoid any more hassle.
To slope a flat roof for effective drainage, you can install tapered insulation or use crickets and saddles to create a slope towards the drains. This will help prevent water pooling and ensure proper drainage off the roof.
The cost of your roof replacement would depend on many factors. The type and size of your roof, the area of the country that you live in and the materials that you use for replacement.
Those who live in a building with a flat roof have advantages and disadvantages. A flat roof will not cause as many problems with gutters as a sloped roof would. It is also possible to shovel snow right off of the flat roof. However, it is also possible to have too much snow accumulate on this type of roof which can cause a cave-in or sagging. A flat roof may leak more from too much rain. However, in the extreme cold weather, icicles are not much of a problem with a flat roof. Since the water from the snow doesn't drip down as much as on a sloped roof, the icicles don't have a chance to form.
