Box Gutter Roof House - Kakiri - Uganda

Sometimes building contractors and clients accept plans from architects that are not easy to build

becomes a hard building fight job then - but looks like MGKB succeeds it ...

Weekly Construction Site Reports by Eng. Richard Muagsho / MGKB Co-Director

Weekly money list by Eng. Jimmy Casole - Accountant and Taxes / MGKB Co Director

Payment Overview by client - 1st BOQ was very incomplete

8 other offers and contracts followed - MGKB builded very

slow !! - overall 2,5 years it took to get this house done ...

But is was income for many many builders and the Kalivamuki

Family is very very happy to have this house to live in finally.

Client Mr. Goergen himself can not afford new shoes now ...

Typical quotations by Eng. George Botyo - Sourcing and Sales / MGKB Co-Director

This is how the Kakira Box Gutter House looked when Ing. Goebel was involved by the client.

The building money budget was used up already by this time, in that stage - but the house

was still in-complete and the water was leaking into the rooms ...

Lets have a closer view to the box gutter problem - that occurs when people do not want to show the iron sheets, when they want to show a big roof area - box gutters are a difficult and expensive

way to collect the rain water and to get it out at certain points. - See how difficult this is way to build is - water-tight for many years - in practice ...

Architects have to draw in the box gutters with : length, corners, endings and openings

for that the contractors see the challenge and that they can say yes or no to contract.

>>> there is an unfinished MGKB House in Uganda that needs to be

reviewed in roof area - and that needs windows, doors, floors, electric

installation, hydraulic installation, tiles and paint ...

just compare - it is never a good idea to build some walls more then what is shown in the plan

the plan proposed by Eng. Mugasho has to be considered ... Less is more - water want to flow

MGKB Site in Kakiri is rolling much better now - the client is going to get the roof he ordered,

Much staff on Kakiri Building Site now - we are expecting team photos next week

We have serious problems with the roof building quality

MGKB does NOT send the amount of photos it requires !

Client stopped payments because builders out of control

but then suddenly - many of the required photos arrived

the the architect and clients representative gave orders

and opend new doors towards extra mony landscape plan

After solving that photo problem the building site speeds up and develops better

Majorine, Richard, Jimmy - please fill this plan with the required elementss

Landscape Plan, calculation of works and elements in landscap plan please

A look into the money list 7th week shows all normal building costs and activity

buying the tiles and cement was the biggest expenditure in this week

and as it is a box gutter roof house - the roof is leaking - in many locations

now you really get fun - searching the causes - we gave additional money

for some new roof sheets and insulation paint ... 

but we never give up hope - we solve our problems - no matter how big they are
