1. Cost effectiveness, this type of roof is cheaper to do, but some says the beauty of the roof is now hidden from public view.

The coping on the top of the parapet wall is for effects, a design that adds to the beauty, plus a way to shift the water dropping line away from the side of the wall.

Thanks.

Thank you so much.

michlins:
please sir, what are the pros and cons of doing this flat roof and why are most carpenters against it

Like I said before, the main advantage is the cost, the main disadvantage is the lack of roof aesthetics, plus a higher risk of leakage. Most carpenters dont know how to do it right, so they may be against it.

I will find time and do an in depth analysis of the pros and cons anytime soon. Still busy and on the road daily.

SMH.

You could also ask why is mud not used for screeding walls, instead of cement.

Cost is one of the reason.

I think its because aluminium roof is always easier for water to run on and have a smooth runoff. The most important thing about hidden roof is that water shouldn't ever slow down on the roof. Stone coated tiles cannot provide that kind of smooth surface like aluminium sheets.

You are right Sir, I was coming to that, why should anyone spend that much money on stone coated tiles and hide it without anyone seeing it again?

Bro, What is Contemporary building and how does it works?

Bro, What is Contemporary building and how does it works?

Contemporary buildings are a type of modern architecture that is markedly different from the normal traditional architecture. Contemporary designs are sometimes without the traditional "pyramid" shaped roofing styles.

Below are a few examples of a contemporary styled building.

Ok Sir, Is it much cheap in terms of cost of building than the normal building?

In terms of the roofing, its cheaper, but the cost reduction is not significant. Other people also complain about the loss of the roofing view, which is a nice sight to behold for some people.
