Gable Roof of needed for Front Patio

Hey Guys,

I need some advise please if this is achievable myself or should get and expert in to do the job. My knowledge about construction is about 5/10 as I have completed slabs, form-work myself so far.

I have a front Patio area on a raised slab to the entry of my house.
5m long x 3.20 wide

Thinking of using 90mm x 45mm timber for the construction.

I want to tie in the new roof into the existing roof section of the house. The roof will have tiles on the top of it later on.
Thinking of some brick poles to support the structure then rendering them later on.

I will have Council approval and plans shortly for this project.

Question:
1. Could anyone give me some advice if this achievable on my own or should I get a builder / carpenter to tackle it.

2. How do you tie in the new roof to the existing roof.
