Before we begin.

Flat or pitched roof in Mogadishu?

A pitched roof sheds rain quickly and lasts well, while a flat roof is simpler and can be used as a terrace, but needs careful waterproofing.

What should I consider when building in Mogadishu?

Mogadishu is a capital on the Indian Ocean with a hot, humid coastal climate. Coastal heat, humidity and salt make corrosion-resistant finishes and ventilation priorities, while the city offers the largest supply of materials and labour in the country.

Which is better in heavy rain?

A pitched roof sheds water faster, which is why drainage matters most in wetter areas.
