I agree, let the roof lean to one side and let a gutter collect the rain water and funnel it downwards into a concrete rectangular or square block well built into the ground like 20-30 feet dept and this water is then used for washing and watering the gardens and fruit trees in the back yard.
The metal bar is called “ rebar”. The biggest risk to consumer is failure causing leakage. You can cover the exposed concrete with a liquid water proof membrane that that be applied with a squeegee it’s a liquid that dries in 2 hours. You can use also liquid epoxy and do the same thing. Definitely slope the roof to a PVC drain and collect the water if needed for gardens etc. Adding a metal roof to this concept is backward thinking use this space for a roof deck where the family can relax and enjoy. You can cut drums in half add soil and use to set up a roof garden for the wife. Plan needs to provide access to the roof. Where can I get a customized plan? I am coming to your Country next year to have a look. Regards from Barbados
Thank you so much for the presentation 👍 What a smart and brilliant young man. Your digital creation is excellent. Great job well done ✔️ This is the first time I have gained insight into the complexity and technicality of this hidden roof. I wish I saw your video before choosing it for my home under construction. Dear Lord, it would be a total disaster if you hired an engineer who doesn't have the skill and competence to build this kind of roof. You did have leakage all over your home- FRIGHTENING. It's worse in Nigeria, where there's no professional ethics, transparency, and disclosure . They claim to know how to do everything and end up messing up the homeowner. If I know what I know now, I won't choose this roof. I would go for the conventional and be able to sleep at night. My home is as big as your sample home on this video and has two gutters on both sides. I didn't hear you discuss felting waterproof material. Where is it placed on the floor of the gutter or the walls 🧱 ? Last last, this roof is far more expensive than the conventional. Felt is imported from Germany and very expensive.
There is a water soluble paint where you could use that instead of tiles but it all depends of yr forward thinking in the design of the home in the first place but we all learn from our mistakes
I hear you on what you are saying regarding to the fake money but if you have some manual skills in connection then some of these cost will be less expensive
Been that no one is going to see the roof why did you not get white roofing sheets because you might be aware that white is much more cooler that any other colours when it comes to the sun??
This project started late 2017. There was a time we didn't work for a whole year. For the cost I stopped tracking after some time. It can be reassessed though
@@ebenameyibor Got ya thanks for the update. I also noticed the single story building during the Drone shot. By the way the views are amazing how many rooms are your single story building

Hidden roof allows one to install solar panels in a way that people cannot see and steal them
Another advantage of it.
Smart 🎉
I think the option to have it slant to the bank is the best, front view and sides should be hidden the back should be exposed to drain it directly.

Thank you for this
Thanks for elaborating sir. Planning to build soon
Very funny, which you luck in your quest. It's either you get lucky his country men receives your design or you end up abducting their own design 😅😅
You should re-do the audio. It will make this a great video.

How do you drain water off the gutter?
I think the gutter should have been made inside a beam unlike being stones on inside and then well plastered. It wouldn't leak.
If it din't reduce the cost if the roof was not hidden then there is no advantage
I hear you on what you are saying regarding to the fake money but if you have some manual skills in connection then some of these cost will be less expensive
If the building spans long, a single slope won't be effective in getting water off quickly
Why is that? Would the water still shim off effectively, although not quickly?
I agre.
But may I ask you this question did you seal that gutter with a water sealer to make it impervious to water???
Thank you for sharing.
Nice one
I love to learn more how can I ❤
Good 👍 job
There shouldn’t be any problem is it is probably done with required quality materials as well as regular maintenance and sweeping.
hello is it possible to change this type of roof to a terrace or roof garden?
Must u do lentil wen going for secret roofing?
What did you use to tile the gutters??
the roof gutter slabs, what is it sitting on ?? I mean, is the gutter a cantilever, or what ?
How many tons of iron rods did u use for the secret roofing please??
Your Contractor has to quantify for you
I think I missed how the drain is done.
Please where are you based?
thanks for this
Thank you
What is the cost of the roofing only the roofing
it depends on the size off your building and quality of roofing sheet ;u can contact me for estimate and installation {0277986004}
Please did you use water proof concrete?
Been that no one is going to see the roof why did you not get white roofing sheets because you might be aware that white is much more cooler that any other colours when it comes to the sun??
Yes or light gray/ash for better look

How is that coolness going to impact the solar panel?
Ur voice sounds very low
Thought so as well
What?!?! He perforated my eardrums from the high decibels!!!😂😂😂
He should re-do the audio. It will make this a great video.
How long did it take you to reach this level and what’s the total cost of your project
I just admire the progress

@@dzifabello1136 Thanks. It's a 4 unit of 2 bedroom apartment. 2 units up and 2 units down
@@ebenameyibor I agree with you. If you keep tracking cost, you will be depress😂
How wide is the gutter?
