I wish to construct a high-quality, flat roof portico to an elegant brick Georgian Colonial home.
Any suggestions on where I might find designs and working plans. Roofing will be subcontracted.
All suggestions will be most appreciated.

Well, certainly you could hire an architect or -
Find a portico equipped Georgian Colonial in a plans book and try to buy that portion of the plan that details the portico. Southern Living plans come to mind. A couple of important considerations - size with respect to the house itself, roof overhang details, number/type of columns, rail attachment points accounted for in the framing structure.
You could do a search here in BT and see my portico roof.
