This house has a flat roof. The current owner uses drop ceiling in
many places so that he can route wiring, AC ducts and electrical and
lighting outlets through the roof. I don't like panelled drop ceiling
so if I get this house I will be removing them.

Which means I will have to find another way to route wires and ducts on
top. The roof has very little room a few inches with insulation that's

This does not follow. If you have the available headroom, you could
just as easily take down the drop-ceiling, and build a sheetrock
ceiling at the same height.

But if you want to make the roof walkable, don't like the ceiling,
and hate the mis-named "mansard" bit, then by the time you fix
everything peicemeal, you'll be better off just taking the
whole roof off and building what you want.
