One clay tile from clayworks weighs approx 3.3kgs when dry plus the underlying roofing timber must be strong enough to support the weight.

That is my main concern considering the existing roofing built to support mabati work to prosper

People chose flat roof because they mostly need to use the space not as a cost consideration. A slab is definitely more expensive than trusses + any roofing material
