That&rsquo;s great analysis,Kint. You must be a very experienced QS I guess. Now,assuming each unit has two rooms only with a footprint of 18 sq meter (table room & sitting room),what would be the approximate total cost of construction for 30 units?

As an Skerian,I acknowledge that I have benefited immensely from the info posted here by others. There4,I promise to assist others in the same way by responding to request for info,as long as am privileged in the subject issue..SK Pledge..

The thickness of the mabati is key to the longevity ..in kenya we have gauge 28-thickest at approx.ksh 500 per square meter,gauge 30 at appr. 400ksh per square meter and gauge 32 at ksh 250 per square meter. Gauge 28 will last 20 years,gauge 30,10 years and gauge 32 5 years approx.

I have seen many structures last more and more years with gauge 32. I think five is verly low.

It depends on location. Locations along the coast rust faster. Locations near water eg bathrooms rust faster.
Also, if the quality of the galvanisation is poor, it will rust faster.
