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...

Generally you can but it depends on the shape and size of the half plot.

You can even go vertical to multiple floors upon approvals.

Good luck on your project.

My people, please find attached an estimate of wires given to me by my electrician.

Please advice.

Have you pull the cables for all the internal wiring?

Why cant you go for PVC ceiling as against asbestor

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.

One love!

Life ehn..

Your site engineer brought the Q.S. who is his childhood "friend"...

And now you ditched the Site Engineer, and about to continue using the Q.S. even for an Engineer's work.

There's really no "friend" anymore.
