If aesthetics is priority; flat/hidden roof works, but budget for thick guage aluminium longspan , proper slope, and strict maintenance.

If low maintenance is priority; hip roof is safer, though less “modern” visually.
But if saving cost is the reasoning you're opting for flat roof, not advisable....
Thank you Sir,

I will always prefer the send down the rain roof' because I have seen luxury properties built decades ago with such roof design yet the beauty is still obvious in till today. The first day I saw send down the rain roof done with Romano stone coated I was marvelled by the beauty, I couldn't help but pause and watch. I will go for it anytime, any day not because it is cheap but because it is beautiful.

Well done Sir.

True 👍🏾
Send Down the Rain roof has stood the test of time here.
With Stone-coated roofing sheets, it’s not just fine to look at, it’s tough against our heavy rains.

As long as the installation and underlay are top quality, you’ll enjoy both beauty and durability for decades. 👌🏾

Funny enough, these days stone-coated tiles are actually cheaper than aluminium longspan…
The only thing is; they gulp a lot more wood during installation because of the batten system.

So while the sheet price is friendly, you have to budget for the extra woods compare to aluminium roofing sheet.
Everything has its balance. 😉

I am glad that roofing is a topic at the moment. An engineer recommended flat roof for me as a way to save cost. I smiled when I read here you are against it. I decided against it too.

Now I am at the point of roofing my project and I can't decide between aluminium and metro. The latter is cheaper in terms of the material but I was told that when I combine the cost of Purlins used to do it that it will amount to the same cost of using Aluminium.

Now I am confused : they say for aesthetics that Metro looks good in the eyes.

I was wondering in terms of heat resistance which one absorbs more heat because I plan that my folks will stay at the top floor when done.

Why would anyone one of you go for Metro and not Aluminium?

Thank you for your contribution here. Which one of these materials is heat resistant? I already have 3 coaches at the end of the day to minimise the heat.

Both will get hot under the sun, but stone-coated tiles usually keep interiors cooler with less heat assumption because of their textured surface and the air gap from the batten system.
Since you already have 3 coaches at roofing level, pairing that with stone-coated should give you less heat than aluminium.
Also, remind your roofer to include a proper gable vent using accurate materials; good ventilation is key for keeping heat out.

We’re not condemning flat roofs, it all comes down to preference. The thing is, many people assume flat roofs are cheaper than hip roofs, but that’s not always the case.

HOTEL UNDER CONSTRUCTION DON COLLAPSE, KPUFF OWNER WEY NEIGHBOURS SAY DEY USE CHEAP MATERIALS

Big tragedy don hit Idumoza community for Uromi, Edo State, as hotel wey never even complete don collapse—kpuff the owner, Mr. Harrison Isesere.

The incident happen on Friday, August 1, as the man dey inside the building. Over 20 workers manage escape with their lives, but Harrison no lucky—na on Sunday morning dem finally recover him lifeless ßody from the rubble.

Neighbours for the area don talk say dem warn am tire say the materials wey e dey use no strong at all.

“He dey use 12mm rod instead of 16mm. Even the pillar no get proper base,” one neighbour yarn. “We talk, he no gree hear.”

Another sad reminder say cutting corners for building project fit turn to RIP.

In times of heat saver stone coated roof is the best.
And the wood roof work should be also high. It save heat and keep the sound of rain compare to aluminum.

I'm rilly working on a very tight budget,I know HDF are strong and nice but going fo that option would set my project back by over 2million, and my projection for doors is about 1million tops. Hence my choice to go for watson or these budget friendly american panel doors for internal rooms but I'm sceptical about the quality of those door,especially the american panel doors.Thanks all thesame.
Pls do you later buy the American panel door .. if yes pls what’s your experience with it
