Boss permission to post this on my roofing thread?

Sure. Let the clients understand that if you’re thinking of saving money, save elsewhere apart from foundation and roofing.

If you have closely packed woodwork and nail point is well spaced, you’ll have a roof that’ll last forever.

Pic 1 - My 10 year old maintenance free roof (pic taken 1 minute ago). It’d be shocking to hear that material is 0.35guage

More roofing woodwork.

You’d hardly spot the difference in the wood spacing. It costs more wood but the extra cost is almost negligible on any project size.

You deserve the award of the best roofer in Africa for this.

0.35guage without wrinkles can only be done by a professional installer.

I actually did it intentionally to prove that your installation is as good as the company/person installing it. The way some roofer mess up materials when installing gets me worried.

It was super-light back then too and people don’t use it.

Disclaimer: For anyone reading this, pls don’t go and be looking for 0.35mm o. It’s not as easy as portrayed o. Go for 0.45mm at least.

Flat Roof + Skylight over Atrium in an upcoming proposed development.

The contemporary flat roofs look very simple but costs more to build than traditional roof designs when done right.

Gone are the days of traditional architecture. With an atrium, natural lighting and cross ventilation in all rooms comes as easy as pie.

Thank you... Looks like it has a critical design flaw

How about step-tiles, is it any better than metcoppo in terms of leakage?

Metcoppo has a design flaw even for the big companies...the curruggators bounce up and down then cut....biggest issue is handling...easier to break due to poor lifting techniques ....they are good looking but requires extra cautious handling...

I still hold my views as before, I now use Long span sheets in my own buildings these days, I also advice my clients to not use Metcoppo sheets, but if they must use it, I can buy and install it for them on one condition, that they will pay for repairs if there is a leakage later on. I lost a lot of time and money repairing Metcopo leaks in 2010 to 2015.

I had a Metcoppo leak issue that really drained me. Thankfully, receipt of purchase and correct guage was confirmed by the client.

Incorrect spacing by carpentars and corrugation / bending points caused a lot of leakage. Since then, I always recommend longspan.

Longspan > Steptiles > Metcoppo.

Conflict is pretty much inevitable when we work with others.

When two people involved in a business transaction oversteps the mark of healthy difference of opinion, resolving conflict requires respect and patience - a clear sign of maturity.

As we grow, we must learn to control our emotions, perceptions, and actions whenever conflict arise. We must learn to deal with facts and avoid talking outside context as it allows conflict to build and fester, without being dealt with directly.

Lastly, it takes emotional maturity to prioritize the health of the relationship over the ego-feeding need to be right. cool

Many thanks to all the valuable contributors on this matter. Your difference makes a difference.

Together we can make Nigeria great again without unnecessary dramas, ban threat, assault... grin!
