For example, in a restaurant, the table cloths are usually red in colour so as to make the occupants uncomfortable and hence eat quickly and leave to create space for other customers. The tableclothes are changed to blue in the evenings so as to make customers stay longer so as to buy more drinks.

@a4architect, if there is a flat whose foundation and dound floor have already been built, is it expensive to put up additional flats.

The cost of labour will go slightly higher since materials will have to be transported vertically up the 1st floor and thus take a longer time.

.

Would you advise such a house be built in phases if the total amount is not available at the onstart.what are the critical milestones in such phases and the estimated cost?
Thanks for your help.You are really giving back to the society and that is what, we professionals should do.

the house can be built in phases. Phase 1 can be the ground floor then 1st floor becomes phase 2. The cost is 50% for phase 1.

@a4architect,
Does the cost of phase 1 include the foundation?What would the foundation alone cost?
