That was my thinking anyway, although a design manager in the office started whittling on about modularisation and trying to build with falsework. (Non starter I think)
The best advice I can give you is to rely on the expert fabricators and erectors - this is very specialised work.
As with all space frame roofs the key is the falsework support system - be prepared for the designed drop when the support is removed.
Then the covering - it may be that the roof is not stabilised until the upper skin is fixed.
Temperature expansion should not be a factor as with steel or aluminium frames.
It will be impractical to plan for any work at lower levels until the falsework is finally removed and that won't be until M&E and finishing work in the roof zone is complete.
Lets see if the LinkedIn guys give you any better adviice.

Hi Andrew
Roman civil engineers knew how to build a stone arch without falsework support.
They anchored each stone back to the previous third stone with iron rods and then dropped in the keystone - then took out the rods for the next one.
Maybe our technology is not so advanced.
