How do I make this roof?

Hello. I'm trying to create the roof based on this irl picture and these 3d picutres. I have no idea how to create the dormers. Does anyone know a good way to achieve a result like the one on the pictures?
If any one needs any further explaination or if there are any translation issues, let me know because english isnt my first language and I may have some trouble with explaining everything sometimes.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

This looks like it might help (I haven’t watched it but it looks like a very similar arrangement to your example)

I'd use about 6 individual roofs for the roof you have pictured in the morph. You could start with a multi-plane roof, but you would want to split them off pretty quickly in order to get the shed and gable (or hip) dormers cut in. Com+click will trim roof edges to each other.Screen Shot 2023-01-02 at 4.48.19 PM.png
