How To Practically Calculate The Quantity (m2) Of Roofing Sheet Required

I've been wanting to do this topic but couldn't come up with the easiest way to teach it; while it is possible to measure the quantities of roofing sheets needed for your project even before you set the first block using the Architectural drawings; it requires a lot of experience especially in trigonometry and site visualization. I have however found an easy way around it; as would be discussed below. I have carefully designed and attached a roof plan for this purpose, (feel free to use should it fit your building design... lol) Calculating the quantity of roofing sheet needed is done is meter square (m2), same parameters used for selling and purchasing roofing sheets hence we would expect to use the AREA FORMULAS (i.e Area formulas for Rectangle / Square, Triangle, Trapezium and Rhombus), sounds easy right? Yes it is!!! The most difficult aspect of calculating Area of Roofing is FINDING THE TRUE LENGTH (Technical Drawing students should understand this)...

Choosing the right foundation for that project type & soil.

Wikipedia defines foundation as: A foundation (or, more commonly, base) is the element of an architectural structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep. It is advisable to know suitability of each types of foundation before deciding which best suit your design type and soil. We would discuss them briefly below:  Types of Foundation and their Uses The following are different types of foundations used in construction: 1. Shallow foundation Strip foundation Pad or Individual footing foundation Raft or Mat foundation 2. Deep Foundation Pile foundation We would only focus on the shallow foundation in our discussion here;  1a. Strip foundation Strip footings are commonly found in load-bearing masonry construction, and act as a long strip that supports the weight of an entire wall. These are used where the building loads are carried...
