Random thoughts:
A roof garden over parked vehicles sounds like an awful lot of weight after a heavy rain and several people up there. Consider poured concrete columns to have more walking space underneath, or a steel frame.
Also, it will have to be lined and sealed like a bathtub with the water running to a drain away from the house. You don't want a rotten plywood floor buckling and dumping tons of heavy debris onto vehicles underneath. Stain first and especially the cut ends. Lag bolts with simpson hangers.
The roof access(ladder or otherwise) will probably have to be code compliant, unless the county is very lax. Around here, there would be railings with gaps that are <4.00in wide, not 4.0625(+1/16th) because of shrinkage.
Still, it would be good to have them sign off before on even hand-drawn plans before spending any money.
That is a neat idea. Some motion or decoration mood lighting and/or a few artistic elements would top it off and say "welcome home".
All the best.
