Thanks for the correction. by carcass, i assume you meant the frame for the parapet? If yes, then this is being done as we speak and should be ready early next week.

Roof carcass means the roofing woodwork. The wood you’re installing the aluminum sheet on.

So i guess i will be asking the roof guy what he is basing his estimate on.

He has only given you a guesstimate. The qty of roofing sheet materials needed can only be determined after you’ve done your woodwork. No builder or roofer has c-ray vision to know what’ll be required without the carcass.

The "flat sheet" i assume will be used to cover up the edges of the roof right (for lack of a better word). any idea what this cost?
Budget same amount sir. The difference is very insignificant (to me)

Happy new year to the house!!

I decided to suspend my 3bedroom(I earlier brought the plan here for criticisms) and start with the 2bedroom bungalow/1bedroom BQ, attached is the floor plan and the type of roof I plan to do.

The ground is a solid one and since I dont intend to do a high pitched roof or parapet, do I need to introduce pillars?

Any criticism of the floor plan

Yes ma’am if you can afford it. Otherwise have a special arrangement with your block supplier to make special blocks (solid) for you.

weldone madam, happy new year to you and your household. Non of these bedrooms is cross ventilated and I'm worried about that. Anyways that's not the question at hand, yes you still need to introduce columns (pillars) to the building cos of the span of the building so as to avoid cracks. But the pillars to be introduced might not as critical as the ones going up.

Thanks, can the cross ventilation be implemented now without changing much of the plans.

As for pillars, Its a common thing amongst layfolks not to use pillars for bungalow, I am more concerned with with future maintenance, currently have an old family house, we couldn't change from louvers to Sliding glass due the absence of lintel over that point. Please if I am to introduce pillars, can you mark out where they should be? what size of rods should I be looking at?

Sigh! I guess you don’t want to disturb the architect anymore hence the bolded part above.

Well truth be told, that design is not functional at all. I’d have loved to list out the modifications I’d made to that plan if I’m asked to redesign but the list is endless.

I'm in talk with one of our architects in kobocity to see if we can come up with a better layout (for FREE).

Well done! Wishing you a great year!

Here I was thinking the plan was super grin

my main concern was addition of pillars just decided to ask for criticisms of the plan, expecting that minimal corrections will be done.

I will be very grateful if you can help with a better layout. I plan to start development soon. Borehole was just completed.

Happy new year to you too.
Very happy to learn that you aren't suspending the project entirely, however, if you're very certain the ground is solid, there may be no need for pillars.. though I would advise that extremely long walls should be reinforced.

Also, endeavour to link the entire structure at the lintel level...(normally referred to as "chaining"wink.

Best wishes.
N/B:
Taking a very close look at the draft plan, can I suggest that ventilation be improved?
Or is it late for your architect to modify??

Also, it is ideal to point out that this plan is a "double flat" configuration and not necessarily a "3-bedroom flat with BQ". From what I know, BQs are always set back from the main building.

On the one bedroom side, the positions of the kitchen and the bedroom can be swapped to give room for one adjacent window for the bedroom. Same can be done for the other flat, with the lounge and dining occupying the length of space taken up by the master bedroom and the second room.

Believe me! I won't lie to you. It's not.

Pillars shouldn't be a major concern. Just make provision for few (maybe 4 or 6) at strategic corners in your build - that won't cost you much.

Let's just settle all this back-n-forth once and for all jare - make mama get on with her project grin grin
