House design

Three storeys, four bedsitters a floor either side of a central corridor, tanks on the roof. The commonest rental investment in the country.

Make it yours

Roof form

Changes the shape of the building, not what it is covered in.

Architectural style

Moves the eaves, the window proportions and the colours together.

Not offered, because the rate library holds no rate for them: clay or concrete roof tiles (covering per m2 of roof slope, and the heavier truss that carries them — a tile roof is not a sheet roof with a different skin); stone-coated steel tiles (covering per m2, laid on battens); machine-cut block walling (walling per m2 by block size, and its own foundation walling rate); aluminium or upvc windows (supply and fix per m2 of opening, by system).

An impression of the concept priced above — the footprint, wall height, roof pitch and window positions are the same ones the quantities were measured from. Materials, colours and planting are illustrative. It is not an architectural design.
