As a painter blistering on the ceiling and peeling is a disaster imagine handing over property to a client and getting a bad review,it really drops one's Market value especially when they don't understand technicalities of poor work done by the previous contractor.
I am always skeptical about flat roof. I preferred the regular roof for my house. I have been watching your videos recently and they are very helpful. Soon I will start building my house in west Africa
My Oh My!. This video is so informative and the explanations do not require a lot of technical words to confuse the viewers. Great content and concise to the point. Looking forward to more content from you. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you ssebo. I'm studying to become an architectural techonologist where we focus more on the functionality of construction. So this was insightful.
I agree with you. Our house was design that way and after long years. Several leakage occur. Specially if you have big trees around the house. The maintanence is really costly.
Thanks for this. Very helpful information and well explained. Initially I was not too convinced about the concrete/solid gutter, I think debris can still collect and build up there🤔 however atleast it can retain the weight of what has been collected over time in time for cleaning.
Actually what u saying is true. I have the roofing system though am missing the concrete drain system which i have seen is very important. I will make some changes
Clear gutters are super important for the house integrity to stay optimal...I can provide gutter guards and one would never need to clean gutters ever again
I am so glad that you are opening up our eyes, I remember once upon a time a family member built a house for me in Wakiso,when I got there I couldn’t believe my eyes, I ended up selling the house cause I hated everything.but you young man,God bless you,cause your break down is at least teaching me that this time when I decide to build, I will follow these examples.thanks very much for the information.so some of the older people like us have no Facebook,how can we get with credible architecture or builders? Can you advise
Thank you for the good work. Can you also advise on how one can build a firewood/or charcoal cooking kitchen without smoke entering the house. Thank you
You know your stuff...u use the same terms we use in construction Canada...truss, wood frame, attic gable, hip and flat. Can you actually be contracted to build a house from start to finish. I feel you can be trusted because you disclose costs. With a trusted contractor, it is definitely cheaper to build than buy. I want to see more costs and timelines videos of example properties
The explanation makes sense.But hear is my question,. When building a flat roof, do I leave my iron sheets right before the wall or do I build all the way to the end of th wall and build blocks on top of the iron sheets.And how do I prevent a crack in between the iron sheets and built blocks on top... Thank you
I have too looked the research the same n to me if if it is rain n it is windy there is a cycling winds that tend to play a round game , the up air is in a circular motion n the down air in the house is calm . The space between iron sheet n gutter will be the only space where this eddy will sip through because they have been blocked by the wall. They will go together with the 💧 drops of watter n it will eventually rain 🌧️ inside. The second idea i if the roof is too flat ,i mean very small gradient, water from top of the sheet will flow down n then will not fall in the gutter n tend to go back on the lower side of sheet a distance of about 5 inches n i
Number 1 reason why I followed you is Luzungu.. I love yo explanations in English trust me I even sometimes fail to follow what yo saying but instead enjoy the sound of yo words flowing..
Thanks so much for this, please I'm really interested to know how you designed the tank and its housing on the parapet.. do you have any tutorial on it?
Please sir which chemical is used for the waterproof so that water will not penetrate in the roof?please will be roofing my house soon and it is having a parapet so I will like to know what can I use to avoid water to enter through the parapet,I will be very happy if you help me.thanks
Most people with flat roofs are lazy and they don't bother to regularly clean their roofs. Doing a flat roof has its pros and cons, same as hipped. If you build a low-quality flat roof or don't regularly maintain/clean it, then you'll definitely have problems. No cutting corners. I should add that the concrete gutter (if you go for that) should be water-proofed and slopped enough to allowed water flow without any impediment.
Thanks for sharing, I prefer a pitched roof because flat roofs require more maintenance and have a greater chance for leaks than a pitched roof. I like your design though...very nice.
Or use Miracle 511 Impregnator Sealant. You apply a thin layer all over your roof deck, bathroom floor and wall tiles, your house floors and even on your kitchen counters and water seepage issues become the past.
Flat roofs were there long time ago and I lived in a flat roof house that has more than 20 years since the construction there haven't any problem of leaking maybe it depends material or the one who do the roof his experience
Commented before watching, my bad. I have no knowledge how to keep a roof deck from receiving wear&tear. Only thing I can think of is to raise the decking off the roof.
I'm weeks away from roofing. The dilemma we have is concrete flat roof or orientile sloping roof. It's a residential 5 apts together. Which is cheaper?
Thanks alot having the back of the roof Open really helps and it beautifies the design as well
Glad you like it!

Very informative thx
I've had a flat roof for years. No leaks. We just sweep it monthly.
Can I change my mind (after building from foundation to wall plate) if the plan had mwamba bit now I want hidden roofing?
Which cad is this
Most people with flat roofs are lazy and they don't bother to regularly clean their roofs. Doing a flat roof has its pros and cons, same as hipped. If you build a low-quality flat roof or don't regularly maintain/clean it, then you'll definitely have problems. No cutting corners.
I should add that the concrete gutter (if you go for that) should be water-proofed and slopped enough to allowed water flow without any impediment.
Thank you
You need right material for the job, you have to use flashing ,Radenshield membrane, tek screw ,good quality Waterproof and a professional carpenter
Hello, so how much does it cost to build the house (that design, 4bedrooms up)with labour and which plot fts is enough for it?????? Please 🙏 thanks
Hi, I can help you with a bungalow and with 4.5M you have one
Educative
Thanks for this info .... how durable is the water proofing elements on the concrete roof top? will it need to be re-enforced over time?
Very important question he should address. But he chose not to.
ARCHICAD 24 RIGHT?
Thanks for the information
Anytime
Thanks for sharing, I prefer a pitched roof because flat roofs require more maintenance and have a greater chance for leaks than a pitched roof. I like your design though...very nice.

Welcome
I ve watched more than 7 times I rilly prefer flat roofing but am scared of linkage.i still don't how I can go any it
Its manageable, if you use the right team
Or use Miracle 511 Impregnator Sealant. You apply a thin layer all over your roof deck, bathroom floor and wall tiles, your house floors and even on your kitchen counters and water seepage issues become the past.
What's that chemical
What's that chemical
I'm looking for a good fundi for flat roof kindly help
Thank you so much.. So its better the behind part of the roof not be built on and instead put a water gutter.
You got it...
Your on point ✅
Woow thank you souch for opening my eyes😊
Flat roofs were there long time ago and I lived in a flat roof house that has more than 20 years since the construction there haven't any problem of leaking maybe it depends material or the one who do the roof his experience
We'll said
please visit the gradient issue as well
Flat roofs in Uganda.. in the long term, it isn't feasible.
Roof it yourself and roof it right, good for 40 years. EPDM 60 mil on fiberboards or strandboards.
Commented before watching, my bad. I have no knowledge how to keep a roof deck from receiving wear&tear. Only thing I can think of is to raise the decking off the roof.
I use silicone roof they still leaks am converting my house to up roof
I'm weeks away from roofing. The dilemma we have is concrete flat roof or orientile sloping roof. It's a residential 5 apts together. Which is cheaper?
Definitely the gently slanting roof will be cheaper....but the concrete flat roof will give extra usability
@@mukizadarwin we decided to go concrete flat roof...thanks.
Cant i make the whole of my roof water prove am i keep my roof safe to prevent water leakage
Good idea, might be expensive though
Flat roof are excellent if you do them right.
Theyre not bad, its owner maintenance thats bad.
APP membrane is the solution, concrate alone cannot stop leaks.
Banange oluzungu uuuuuuu😂😂😂😂😂😂hhh
