ah, yes.

our munting kubol of sorts had a roofdeck of sorts.
it kept leaking, whatever we applied.
finally, we just roofed her, not using ordinary GI sheets, but using those fancy brick-shaped painted metal pieces, so's it will blend with the neighbors' .
da end!

this is so true!

we tried all sorts of waterproofing on our veranda (deck), but they all failed over time. after we installed a roof, there were no more traces of water streaks at the bottom (this deck also served as roof for our dirty kitchen).

Although I am wondering how the hotels that have their pools on upper floors maintain their waterproofing 100%

Yung pool nila ex SO nasa second floor din, mind blown din ako how the house could carry that weight and the house is at least half a century old. Leandro Locsin really deserves to be a National Artist.

Pools & watertanks are a different story. The concrete isn't subjected to dehydration & thermal contraction/expansion from exposure to the elements. Failure on these structures are more from improper execution & seismic disturbances than the factors that affect firewalls & suspended open decks.

Naalala ko si Shadow nung makita ko ito. I think he was asking for a filler in between tiles na maliit ang space

For residential build, how much would be the difference in per square meter cost between:

Bungalow
2-storey
3-storey

This will help determine whether to get more land and build a bungalow or a 2-storey on a smaller lot ... say the difference is 10T per square meter ... so it would be better to get a 1000 square meter and build bungalow house rather than 2-storey on 500 square meter lot ...

Good question. Plan ko din to build our retirement house. Although dapat single storey talaga para hindi na mahirapan sa stairs, pero mura nalang din yata mga elevators now. Gusto ko kasi I can look out my windows from the upper floor.

Way more variables than just levels. Terrain, design, specs, roof type, wall & window volume are amongst those that significantly influence construction cost.
