EgunMogaji2: I’ve done a couple of flat roofs using wood, steel, concrete slab and recently exploring the option of galvanized polystyrene necked panels with Zifax Global Services There are so many way to achieve this but here are examples of the things we’ve done. You can check tower for .7 gauge roofing sheet. That’s the only place where you can get complete gauge and you can tell the difference when holding it. Pic 1 & 2: Hidden Roof I fought the architect very hard on this design because the design didn’t make room for maintenance but he was insistent. Pic 3: Galvanized Polystyrene by Zifax being considered for flat roof slab installation. 2 Likes

n3xt: Pic 1 - 4: Hidden Steel Roof We introduced steel gutters which take water directly from the roof into the water outlet. The aim is to ensure water is not having any contact with the slab. The steel was coated with antirust and coal tar. 8 Likes

beebah247: Good evening. 1. Yes, there is renovation permit 2. Renovation permit is granted when the old building you want to renovate has it's own approval. Copies of old house approval will be required in order to give renovation permit. Cost is subjected to size of property and Location 3. When there is change in ownership of a property, survey should be done in the new owner's name after the deed or transfer of ownership. The name on the survey will be the name on the approval. 3 Likes |

Leezah:it depends on where you reside, but the best woods for roofing in West Africa as a whole, 1: apknontu (ayin, mereke)is a strong wood- this can be used for your rafters, wall-plate, all skeleton. 2: Melina is a soft wood, still quality though, can be used for your pole-line, and nogging. Will also stand the test of time. I created a thread on this though... https://www.nairaland.com/4714369/building-around-abuja-lets-discuss 1 Like 2 Shares |

n3xt: There are different grade of quality roofing felt....the good thing is the lowest standard will get the job done with warranty or guarantee on it. In case of failure due to production error you are free to exchange it or ask your money back without hassle and most products have exclusive 2 years guarantee after purchase. The product standard has be set by the EU so every country or importers can't go less, The Chinese businesses don't dare misbehave by bringing in rubbish or substandard product, there will be consequences....Talking about standard the Germans always set the pace with constant innovation while others try to catch up. That is the beauty of the competition. But generally most products undergo upgrade every 2 year. 2 Likes |
