Sir and gurus in the house. Please what is the standard height of a roof? I am a bit confused. My carpenter gave me a quotation for 18 feet roof. Is the length adequate, inadequate or overadequate? Thanks in anticipation for your response

I always stay between 16ft and 18ft.
Other people varies.

They look great no doubt.. I feel the only issue with them is the maintenance.. They look beautiful when new but once they aren't being maintained well.. And water starts damaging the edges of the wall.. They just look horrible!

I could be wrong.. But my opinion tho!
Pls Sir, what's this maintenance that's always talked about when falt roof design is mentioned? Is it that it should be reinstalled after a specific period of time or a certain professional needs to climb up there at specific periods to do something up there? Kindly educate me pls. Thanks.

Flat roof is good, it looks wonderful yes. But if you are to use a flat roof design in your project, please ask your self this questions.
1. Can I afford to repaint my external walls at least once every three years?
2. If I am using a roof gutter on my flat roof design, do I have the strength and resources to always inspect it and keep it clean at least once every month?

We seem not to know the impact of weather on buildings. I don't think there is anything resistant to weather forces.

I will only advise that if you are so in love with a flat roof, do a monopitch, give it the standard eave covering. That way you still create whatever aesthetics you have in mind.
Do not expose your external walls to weather in the name of doing a roof gutter and parapet walls.

PS: I have come across countless of flat roofs with roof gutter and parapet walls that were later roofed with pitch.

I think there are paints meant for outdoor use, which are usually more weather resistant than regular paints and lasts much longer, however they are also more expensive.

Flat roof designs are aesthically pleasing, but you need a good roofer.
You need :
Proper drainage
FELTING
Aluminium 0.6 - 0.7.

If you can afford to pay premium for roofing , please do. Leakage can make you go nuts.
Please avoid the , "I HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN DO IT CHEAPER ROUTE".
Let the roofer buy his materials, so he doesn't claim the materials you bought, contributed to leakage, when it's as a result of poor workmanship.

Leakages not necessarily from the roofing sheet itself

I don’t think flat roof building really has maintenance like that if it’s well built or handled by a Professional Builder with much experiences. Most of my Projects lately are Flat hidden roofs. The only Stress I see there is Testing and doing some amendments immediately when zink is installed, We can only detect errors when rain falls after installations. After this stage, then we’re free. Talking of the Painting, I mostly screed the external walls before painting and all my paintings are Emulsion,Though I always paint every Year because all the building are for commercial Purposes. Attached Pics is my last year and early this Year Project

From where then?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by tonididdy(m): 12:36pm On May 09, 2022
Kingdemu:

Mostly from the exposed part of the roof walls.
Most times it's soaked and soggy for days.
Also splashes from rain contact with the roofing sheet could be a problem also.
The direction of the rain is another factor. Only a pro will put these into consideration.

BUT ALL OF THIS CAN BE AVOIDED IF :
You just do a visible flat roof not the hidden type.

Flat roof on a residential building: Not for me.

Flat roof on a commercial farm building maybe, just maybe.

Flat roof on a residential building worth over 20 million and counting, is like a white C-ock that doesn't know he is an elder.

Who lights a candle and put it under a table? Certainly not me.

How does one have such a big outdoor space, and then choose to cast everywhere with concrete? No green areas at all?
