Trust me on this, you don't want your tank as part of your house.

You can even install a drain pan with a pipe leading outside and I guarantee that you'll have issue in the long term.

Look at this beauty from Herr Dokkter Spyder880.

It also gives you a platform to mount an uncompromisable birds eye view security camera or better a stable platform to hang out with an AR15 and a scope

the picture attached look good especially if a Camera is installed there.

Gun, no way!!! No be military zone

EgunMogaji:
And you can do it successful if you have a plan to go up there and perform maintenance periodically.

It just can't be an install and forget deal.

I'll find a picture of one that has an fng tree growing up there

maintainance is the key to our house.

Mr Azuh, long time no see.,....you now peep in and sneak out these days

Water Tower can be fabricated from wrought iron or bricks and mortar. On balance bricks and mortar is more expensive but more stable in terms of health and safety. But wrought iron if properly done can also meet the health and safety concerns.

Take a look at the pix below: Pix A was done by Spyder880 and displayed here on nairaland for 280K. The material used is popularly called H-Beam. I think N280K is a very decent cost and I think maybe Spyder880 didn't include labour cost. Please note that for a perfect water pressure for a storey building is 40ft minimum. In Warri Delta State, the H-Beam for 40ft can set you back over 500k easily. Also in Pix A notice the cross bar [x] in the construction. This is for greater stability for distribution of load. Some iron benders do cut coners and undercut the cross bar. So if you decide on this please note this and the minimum height of 40ft. Don't be convinced to do the popular 30ft.

Pix B is galvernized pole cheaper than H-Beam and if properly done will give you the same output in safety and longitivity as the H-Beam. Notice in pix B that no cross bar........not recommended. In Warri, this will set you back about 300k or more i.e 40ft not 30ft.

If you decide to cast the column, you can use the "redundant" space for generator room, dog kernel, storage or even security man's room. All you need do is wall deck and floor the ground space and voila! you have a useful room.

thanks alot... i really do appreciate this.
but for a bungalow, is there any specified height?

EgunMogaji:
You're not lying cause someone quoted me N1.2 milla for a bungalow in Ibadan

1.2m is outrageous for a bungalow.
how much more will one add to that to complete the building.

danowena:
dat was very mature of you.

thank you

Barryton:
thanks...

all u need is wood for form work,reinforcements rod,binding wire,cement,granite, sharp sand, nail, carpenter, iron bender, labour for casting

agarawu23:
I see no reason why I cant cast a tank space on my building Instead of spending hundreds of thousands to do that.

bro u need to plan that before laying blocks in order to input columns that will hold the intending slab

mufutau55:
Because at a later point it can mess-up the building... that is why many people are building it away from the buildings.

if properly planed and constructed it will be just fine

what we do about that ,is to properly lay tiles on the entire exposed area and u will be rest assure ur thank is safe. the problem we have in this part of the world is a proper planned periodic maintenance for our properties. For instance there should be a periodic timetable for watching our surface tanks.
