Come one, come all.

It's our job, we do not fret.

Hello.
We are up and doing.

Charisdesigns:
This is an interesting question.

One small clarification : the houses you attached are concrete fascia’s rather than parapet walls. We often interchange this term in Nigeria.

1. What does a parapet wall do?
A parapet is a wall that extends above the roof level, often concealing a roof, Those walls we normally have around a hidden roof

A concrete fascia, is simply a projecting roof edge like the building picture you attached. it provides a finished appearance and can help protect the wall from rain, Your roof tip/edge rest on it, it is attached to the wall and then projects some distance away from the wall. Hence causes rain water fall off away from the building wall. Generally and before before that what we all call Fascia board and those times we just use timber, but today we can aluminium, fibre cement board or concrete.

2. Must you install one?
No, it is a design choice. You can select the fascia material that suits your building, but most importantly budget and appearance is the major determinant. However most people use concrete.

I will attach our construction picture, you will notice the concrete fascia reinforcement links (stirrups) is connected directly to the roof beam. That will simply allow the concrete fascia to transfer its loads to the supporting roof beam properly.

What determines the design?
The external shapes is largely an aesthetic decision guided by your architect’s design or who is building for you. However, the structural support, construction is important

3. What do we think of the two options?

This is where BIM and 3D visualisation come in. A design that looks excellent on one building may not suit another. Visualising different options before construction helps you compare options and make informed decisions before spending a kobo.

I hope this helps.

Pic 3: A Building design we did featuring a concrete fascia.
Pic 4: A Building design We did featuring a cement board fascia.

Well-done bro.

But I would suggest you leave it the layman way, even some engineers refer to concrete fascia as parapet wall, maybe they are also dancing to the tune of the layman sha.

I'm just suggesting this so as not to cause confusion.
