I like this...
Thank you.

FEGEITOK:


As an aside from purely property matters, and in the light of the undercurrents, and some of the thank you posts here in the last days of 2021 and the early days of 2022, I thought it wise to make the statement below.

In 2019, Bernardine Evaristo won the Booker Prize for Girl, Woman, Other category alongside Margaret Atwood. I watched a BBC program that rehashed that story a few hours ago.

Somethings stood out.

President Obama said that one of the books he uses as an escape from the pressures of the presidency was Bernardine Evaristo's book. Imagine the President of the most powerful country recommending your book.

Bernardine Evaristo has returned the favor she has been granted by been digging up authors who she felt were overlooked and trying to spotlight them and because a Booker Prize winner is the one making the recommendation people were taking notice.

The authors she recommended were extremely grateful that someone of her stature propped them up.

The point is this, if you are a vendor on these streets, be careful what fights you get into, some fights are not worth it. Don't bite your nose to spite your face.

Pick your fights carefully.

Be willing to lose money to make more money in the future.

Be willing to create, sustain and maintain goodwill.

A word, a note, a recommendation can land you a million naira or dollar deal even a billion-dollar deal.

A word, a note, a caution can also deny you a million naira or dollar deal even a billion-dollar deal.

Sometimes you need someone up there to open doors that would otherwise remain closed.

Don't allow people who would otherwise open doors for you to actively force doors that would otherwise be opened to remain closed.

Relationships are the most valuable resource for success.

I do contracts and all of my biggest contracts came to me when someone above my pay stamped his/her foot down and said give this guy this deal.

If people don't like you, they will not deal.

Don't give people a reason not to like you, and then not deal with you and encourage/goad/persuade others not to deal with you.

A word is enough for the wise.

If not that God is very merciful, this angel with a very wicked eye will use this sword to design your body for all the fraud and criminality you have been doing on your fellow humans. A crook shouldn't be allowed near a church.

Working in a church with zero conscience and a devil's attitude. Spits.

What is a flat roof?

Flat roofs are typically more accessible than roofs that are sloped. They are easier to climb for proper inspection
Any time a person climbs on a roof, care and caution should be taken, please note this.

Flat roofs are easier to check and much safer. Flat roofs are substantially more stable than gamble or hip roofs when the building is small or big.
They have an architectural appeal. In the right setting, they are economical as long as they are adequately maintained. Because flat roofs are quicker to install, the wait to move in is shorter. If repairs or replacement are needed down the road, re-roofing is relatively painless and quick
Flat roofs are not the most attractive roof in world, but you will save on cost of materials and that money you save can be used for plumbing or electrical on your building project, nevertheless the price of flat roof repair is also cheaper, the roofing material required for covering, such as asbestos, long span, stepped tiles, metocopo or stones coated is less compare to hip roof, gamble roof, mansard roof, e.t.c


Flat roofs are among the most controversial roofs of all the types of roofs for buildings and homes, both in commercial buildings or residential buildings.

Of recent, we all we notice that half of the commercial and residential building in lekki, ajah, ibeju, Elerangbe are emulating the act of saving cost by using flat roof, even banks, factories and estates are now covering their building projects with flat roof, it also have a modernize aesthetic appeal designs to your building that give value to the money spend from foundation to finishing.

They are most commonly used on outbuildings and large structures. Flat roofs have a unique set of challenges and needs. If you plan to have a flat roof on a residential or commercial building, it is essential to know flat roof advantages.

Advantages and Disadvantages.
The biggest advantage of a flat roof is the expense of saving cost and still achieve the standard without compromise.

From building and installing to the materials commonly used for flat roofs, they are relatively cheap, you will save much on hardwoods, nails, and aluminum, stone coated roofing sheets, to cover the roofing carcass these makes a flat roof very affordable for both installation and upkeep and maintenance.

Labor is cheaper due to less risk while installing a flat roof, either the wood work or the roofing sheet installation.
Installation of flat roofs is quicker and easier for instants, construct a 3bedroom or 4-bedroom flat roof is just 2 days with just four carpenters for the wooden carcass, not like hip roof, gamble roof or mansard roof, there are fewer damage and repair costs over the lifespan of the roof.

Installing things like solar panels, which save on electricity, and satellites—making repairs and cleaning gutters less expensive and easier to accomplish on a flat roof.

You can design a living roof that becomes an outdoor lounge area to relax or barbecue, or plant a garden on the rooftop. The list of possibilities for utilizing a flat roof is nearly endless.

A flat roof also makes interior space more versatile. Top floor apartments and finished attics are possibilities without the sloped walls produced by traditional pitched roofs. In homes that need maximum interior space.

I welcome you to the era of saving cost, smart buildings, and easy maintenance of your roof.

I love flat roofs but the problem is getting it right and the fear of leakages. I have seen couples of flat roofs that they later went ahead to use long span to cover again because of leakages.

I saw another building that the building walls were messed up. The whole wall have wetness all over it. If well installed, it is always beautiful.

Flat roof isn't what you guys address as flat roof.
The only example of a flat roof is a decked roof (a roof made of reinforced concrete), just like an upper floor. It's major essence is for accessibility.
Therefore, a flat roof can consume capital as a hip roof will.
I will address roteck's post next.

According to your pics sir, this is a monopitch roof.
It isn't a flat one because it has a pitch according to it's name.
This is quite affordable and therefore could be what mountmoriah was suggesting.

Very one can check up what "flat" means using "the second teacher"

Flat roof can only be achieved through reinforced concrete as at present, therefore it is a slab and it isn't cheap.

I would wanna post this for knowledge's sake. We learn everyday.
I too didn't know it's precise name untill a client approached me from here and we did the design. (Building supervision inclusive)
These are 2 monopitches, the heights vary from one another, therefore, it ain't even a gabble but skillion roof.
Note: it is closer to a gable but it is not a gable.

When it comes to roofing, here's my own piece.
Roof according to function and not cost.
The first thing to consider is functionality, then you can relate it with cost.

Flat roof.
German floor.
Parapet.
Coach.
Etc.
We use them as defined by brikila. Even PhD civil engineers find it difficult to educate these brikilas.
