Default Turning a flat roof into a deck?

With a careful design - one that pays attention to high winds,
flashing, drainage, and load paths - it might be done.
The problem is one for a really careful contractor or IMHO for a
thoughtful architect.
The new roof surface will be higher than the existing roof surface and
so access to it has to be considered.
Code requirements and documentation for a building permit are
additional considerations.
