TEMPORARY ROOF DECK WATERPROOFING
TEMPORARY ROOF DECK WATERPROOFING
(OP)
A friend is going to build the ground floor of this two-storey residential bldg and the second storey will be left for several months before continuation. The second storey concrete slab will temporarily serve as roof deck for certain period.
How do we prevent rain water from seeping into the temporary roof deck and reaching the ceiling?
Thanks so much.

Size? Climatic conditions?(frost, ice, snow, windforce?)
As bimr :Construct a roof. Suggestion: plastic tarpaulin, self-draining mounted, tight stretched, secured against wind, over steel or timber construction for instance of rented steel-scaffold parts.

It is 8.5m x 13m residential bldg. I am in South East Asia, a tropical country; no snow and ice. Some suggested making the temporary RC slab slant of 3% and provide downspout to drain the rainwater. I don't know if it works well as what you suggest.

You should install plastic sheeting such as a UV resistant HDPE over the concrete.

The best solution is not the cheapest now, but the safest and one not likely to cost you repairs or additional maintenance later.
