With the current rise in cost of construction materials in Nigeria,it is the right time to start looking for cheaper yet equally conducive construction methodologies. One of the ways to cut costs of materials is by carefully selecting the type of roof you want to put on your building carcass (ie gable,pitched,flat,mono pitched etc)

Flat roofs or Mono pitched roofs are not new to the construction industry but engineers and builders are sometimes skeptical about use.

A flat roof is a type of roof that is inclined at an angle of 10 degrees or below. A mono pitched roof just as it sounds,is a type of roof that is only pitched at one side ( it is only sloped at one side)

Both flat roofs and mono pitched roofs are good ways to reduce the cost of materials. Aside from the obvious benefits of cost and quantity reduction,flat roofs are quicker to install so that makes the labour cost to be cheaper. Flat roofs also add a modern look to the building and add to the aesthetics.

These are some of the reasons why you should consider Flat/ mono pitched roofs in your next project.

As we all know,most construction methodologies comes with advantages and disadvantages,flat roofs are sometimes prone to leakages if not properly installed and they have very little space for insulation but as i always say, CONSULT A BUILDER before you make these decisions.

Would you consider having a flat/mono pitched roof?😁

Black or Red water tank!?

This is a common household question asked in Nigeria. The colour of your water tank could significantly affect your water and here’s how;

BLACK WATER TANK: As we all know,black is a good conductor of heat,meaning black allows heat to pass through it into the water. This means that the water in your black tank will get hot during sunny days,this heat acts as a natural water purifier and kills some germs in the tank.

RED WATER TANK: Red colour on the other hand is a good radiator of heat. This means that heat will not easily pass through it. The water in your red water tank will get cooler on sunny days this way when compared to the water in the black tank this also means it wouldn’t kill as much germs as the black water tank does.

As we go through our daily lives,the need to relocate or change a place of residence might arise. You may need to get a new apartment to get closer to family,when you get a new job or to get into a school catchment area. What ever the reason might be,these are the few things you should be looking out for when renting a new apartment;

1. Check for termite colonies around the property; Although termites are known to be helpful to the ecosystem,we all know how destructive termites can be to a building. The closer a termite colony is to the property more likely it is that your property will get attacked by termites.

2. Check for rising dampness from outside the building; Rising dampness occurs when water from the ground rises above the foundation level as a result of capillary action.You should check out for early signs of rising dampness because it very like to cause a lot of damages to the fabric of the house.

3. Inspect the building for cracks; Consistent cracks in a building might be as a result of error from the foundation,this could cause a lot of problems for a new occupant in the building.

4. Inspect the building for leakages; Make sure you inspect the roof and kitchen pipes for leakages and make sure it is fixed before you move in.

5. Check all the electrical fittings and exposed wires.

Be sure to look out for the above mentioned points for they are critical when choosing your next place of residence.
