Modular roof panels having sloped top surfaces and flat bottom surfaces are interlocked in edge-to-edge relation to one another to form a monolithic roof where the roof is pitched to provide moisture run off but where the space covered by the roof has a ceiling that is not pitched. Thus, the side walls of the structure have a common height. In a first embodiment, the top and bottom surfaces of the panels are covered with a skin, and in a second embodiment only the top surface is so covered. The first embodiment is used in original roof construction and the second is used in roofover construction. In both embodiments, the core material is preferably expanded polystyrene and the skin is preferably metallic. The skins are bent to interlock contiguous panels.

A building construction comprising a plurality of roof panels disposed in edge-to-edge relation with one another, in combination with a plurality of wall panels of uniform height disposed in edge-to-edge relation to one another, interlocking means interlocking said roof panels in said edge-to-edge relation, all of said roof panels having a top surface and a bottom surface that are oblique with respect to one another, each bottom surface being disposed in a horizontal plane, each of said roof panels including a core made of expanded polystyrene and a skin made of a metallic material for covering one of said top and bottom surfaces, said interlocking means including mating edges of said skin that are bent at the edges of each panel, said roof panels being positioned atop said wall panels, a first roof panel having a flat, unsculpted edge and a second roof panel having a sculpted edge disposed in abutting relation to the unsculpted edge of the first panel, said sculpted edge including a pair of “U”-shaped grooves formed therein, said grooves being disposed in oblique relation to one another.
