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

Maintenance of green area is very tedious except you have a paid gardener. But I certainly prefer it to al these concrete. Maybe mixed. Concrete on driveway and walkway but others green.

Yeah, exactly how I'd do mine...mostly lawn grass and trees, leaving only the driveway and walkways for hard core. I wouldn't even mind doing the gardening myself. But someone that can afford such a property, surely can afford a gardener, if he wants. And depending on the type of grass planted, maintenance might even be minimal.

Most king post range from about 7ft to 20ft. For me I would generally not do it past 12ft especially with all this wind that is lifting up roof during the raining season.

chairmanawe:
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

Kingdemu:
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.

Often times they do not seal the edges properly or the adhesive wears out and water starts seeping through requiring maintenance.

Also often times your external walls need to have cladding that will stand water or water repelling paint. Those 1.5 to 2ft roof cladding on a pitch roof have a job of protecting your building from the rains.

A serious and honest developer/financier is needed to complete an already roofed part of a twin 3 bedroom apartment with separate bathroom and toilet with a single kitchen. The project is located very close to Federal University of Agriculture (FUNNAB) Abeokuta, Ogun State. The other wing has been completed and already occupied. Interested persons should contact the owner via 08051247830 or 07066175800.

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.
lol almost it not all penthouses are flat-roofed. The ones you see on Instagram with 90m per unit are mostly flatroofs.
There is an expertise to it, it's not for any quack wannabe carpenter.

tonididdy:

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.

Thank you

I disagree. It's a matter of personal preference.

I don't have grass in my private residence because after over two decades of growing and mowing lawn I am tired of doing that.

I have about fifteen trees on my lot with more to come so I do my part in contributing to the ecosystem. I also have a sizeable granite driveway that allows rainwater to go back into the ground.

What’s the obsession with green areas in a rain forest zone? So that insects and snakes will have a place to hide or are you concerned about the environment?
