Why not use a float switch? There will be no water leakage from the tank. The only water you will deal with is rain water. OR

Some houses in an estate on the island roof their tank, that is, you won't see the tank outside. They use float switches to regulate pumping and discharging of water.

Oga @spyder880 might not be able to use it for a commercial building though because of maintenance issues.

A useful read for me when I was designing my house. Could be useful for others too.

"Residential Behavioral Architecture 101

The activity on this floor, which measures around roughly 1000 sq ft, is concentrated almost exclusively in three rooms: The dining, kitchen and family rooms; the latter room’s activity focused around the TV and computer. We estimate that around 400 or so square feet of those 1000 are actually used with any regularity."

This information is so well suited to those of us looking to build or actually building a retirement home. You are looking to retire, and then you design and actually build a sprawling 6 bedroom duplex with additional 2 or 3 bedroom 'boys quarter'.

I mean we've retired with possibly all the kids 'gone' leaving us with the wifey. Now how many of those space do we actually need? Take another look at the attached picture; there's a good spacious kitchen dinner already, why a dining room in addition? Some designs will have a visitor's parlour, proper parlour, family room and kids play room. Haba.

Yes, we should incorporate behavioral achitecture in our design.

I have used tiles in the past, and even melted tar to provide a water leak proof surface, but I am looking at something new for this current work I am doing. I am exploring a method called "felting" this is a way of using rubber felt to spread and stick over the tank base act as a waterproof membrane sealing the tank base floor.

Aventures:
well-done bros, if there is something I dread most nowadays is water tank on roof slab. Whatever you use as water proof will require periodic maintenance. Tiles is the worst, ordinary shining the floor with pure cement is lot better than tiles. I have had to break off tiles somewhere and do ordinary shinning and the problem solved.
I also had an experience whereby there was a growth of plants and lot of sand sediments blocking the drain pipe and then leaking starts. well my best advice for people now is have your separate Tank Stand.

what will it cost to build 6 Units Of 2 bedroom in Port Harcourt?

diordaves:
A highly effective method is to seal the concrete with a concrete sealer. This will prevent water damage and penetration leading to algea growth. But the thing with this method is you need to introduce the sealer during the concrete mix and continue to seal the surface once a year. This is the maintenance costs we are talking about.

Will prefabricated stairs sell in Nigeria? there'll also be delivery of the prefabricated , I really think this idea will speed up building process in Nigeria. I'm also thinking of building wooden closets too .

PlaceVendome:
Wooden closet instead of concrete . just build the exterior of the house with concrete within a few days and and use wooden walls to partition the rooms inside . this my method will be popularized in Nigeria and will speed up the building process. The interior partition will be either by wood or thin concrete sheets with the door already attached . . everything will be delivered to client . what do you think?
