abuiltech:
Thanks bro, you've said it all, I won't advice using booster pump with uPVC pipe

Good one.
Even If the plumbing work was done without considering the booster pump in the first place, introducing it now may be dangerous.

henrymor:
Thank you so much. Actually I haven't found out the cost of a normal one. What do you think about going for the block one or iron stand?

Iron stand if you can afford quality irons.
It doesn't consume space nor look too rigid.

Flat roof.
German floor.
Parapet.
Coach.
Etc.
We use them as defined by brikila. Even PhD civil engineers find it difficult to educate these brikilas.

Na so sha.

I would wanna post this for knowledge's sake. We learn everyday.
I too didn't know it's precise name untill a client approached me from here and we did the design. (Building supervision inclusive)
These are 2 monopitches, the heights vary from one another, therefore, it ain't even a gabble but skillion roof.
Note: it is closer to a gable but it is not a gable.

When it comes to roofing, here's my own piece.
Roof according to function and not cost.
The first thing to consider is functionality, then you can relate it with cost.

When your design is perfect and the construction is well supervised then you don’t need to fear anything

According to your pics sir, this is a monopitch roof.
It isn't a flat one because it has a pitch according to it's name.
This is quite affordable and therefore could be what mountmoriah was suggesting.

Very one can check up what "flat" means using "the second teacher"

Flat roof can only be achieved through reinforced concrete as at present, therefore it is a slab and it isn't cheap.

mountmoriah:
What is a flat roof?

Flat roofs are typically more accessible than roofs that are sloped. They are easier to climb for proper inspection
Any time a person climbs on a roof, care and caution should be taken, please note this.

Flat roofs are easier to check and much safer. Flat roofs are substantially more stable than gamble or hip roofs when the building is small or big.
They have an architectural appeal. In the right setting, they are economical as long as they are adequately maintained. Because flat roofs are quicker to install, the wait to move in is shorter. If repairs or replacement are needed down the road, re-roofing is relatively painless and quick
Flat roofs are not the most attractive roof in world, but you will save on cost of materials and that money you save can be used for plumbing or electrical on your building project, nevertheless the price of flat roof repair is also cheaper, the roofing material required for covering, such as asbestos, long span, stepped tiles, metocopo or stones coated is less compare to hip roof, gamble roof, mansard roof, e.t.c


Flat roofs are among the most controversial roofs of all the types of roofs for buildings and homes, both in commercial buildings or residential buildings.

Of recent, we all we notice that half of the commercial and residential building in lekki, ajah, ibeju, Elerangbe are emulating the act of saving cost by using flat roof, even banks, factories and estates are now covering their building projects with flat roof, it also have a modernize aesthetic appeal designs to your building that give value to the money spend from foundation to finishing.

They are most commonly used on outbuildings and large structures. Flat roofs have a unique set of challenges and needs. If you plan to have a flat roof on a residential or commercial building, it is essential to know flat roof advantages.

Advantages and Disadvantages.
The biggest advantage of a flat roof is the expense of saving cost and still achieve the standard without compromise.

From building and installing to the materials commonly used for flat roofs, they are relatively cheap, you will save much on hardwoods, nails, and aluminum, stone coated roofing sheets, to cover the roofing carcass these makes a flat roof very affordable for both installation and upkeep and maintenance.

Labor is cheaper due to less risk while installing a flat roof, either the wood work or the roofing sheet installation.
Installation of flat roofs is quicker and easier for instants, construct a 3bedroom or 4-bedroom flat roof is just 2 days with just four carpenters for the wooden carcass, not like hip roof, gamble roof or mansard roof, there are fewer damage and repair costs over the lifespan of the roof.

Installing things like solar panels, which save on electricity, and satellites—making repairs and cleaning gutters less expensive and easier to accomplish on a flat roof.

You can design a living roof that becomes an outdoor lounge area to relax or barbecue, or plant a garden on the rooftop. The list of possibilities for utilizing a flat roof is nearly endless.

A flat roof also makes interior space more versatile. Top floor apartments and finished attics are possibilities without the sloped walls produced by traditional pitched roofs. In homes that need maximum interior space.

I welcome you to the era of saving cost, smart buildings, and easy maintenance of your roof.

Flat roof isn't what you guys address as flat roof.
The only example of a flat roof is a decked roof (a roof made of reinforced concrete), just like an upper floor. It's major essence is for accessibility.
Therefore, a flat roof can consume capital as a hip roof will.
I will address roteck's post next.

Thank you!

You are welcome

Do u recommend MEP Piping before plastering?

It's better if done before plastering.
Plastering makes a wall thicker and tougher.
Perforating it after plastering can cause weakness, cracks and the likes.
Note: it's harder to break a plastered wall.

BrickDevo:
yes, but he asked about the standard, by standard it is 150mm.

You are on point.

Amastermovic:
150mm thickness is a bit high except there's unevenness or special case you may want to consider exp serving a purpose of raft as well or driveway..

You may increase your DPM gauge rather than doing 150mm with your previous suggested thickness of 75mm to 125 depends on factors such as present site conditions and fund

The standard is 150mm.

BrickDevo:
please there is no alternative for now the best you can do is to lower the thickness maybe down to 75mm or 3inches to save cost, if you don't, you will regret not doing so in future

Exactly.

Wow
Very powerful and encouraging.

When you are out of the slum, you may consider living in a paradise.
