Traditionally on FS cabins it is built with Purlin beams on which exposed t&g is installed and an over frame roof atop that which can be insulated. Will this be the method used, or a different one?

The method of roof framing you have described would be acceptable. The contract calls for a delegated design by a licensed architect/engineer of the structural components of the cabin, including the roof. We’d expect the delegated designer to provide a more detailed roof design.
