1.2 Statement of the Problem
Research
has it that there has being a steady increase in the cost implication of
using alternative roofing materials. The research pose the following
problems. What is the relationship that exist between the various
alternative materials for roofing on the basis of their life cycle cost?
1.3 Aims of the Study
The aim of this research is carry out a comparative study of a life cycle cost
implication of using an alternative roofing materials.
Objectives
To establish the initial cost of the alternative roof covering
To establish life cycle cost of various roof materials.
To compare the initial and the lifecycle cost of the alternative roof covering material
1.4 The Need for the Research
The
result of these research will help the client in making a decision on
the type of roofing materials to be used in construction of any further
project having consider their economic factors durability maintenance
cost and aesthetic.
1.5 Scope of Study
The scope of this project
work is based on the selected roofmg materials which include corrugated
Asbestos cement roofing sheet, concrete decked roof, long span aluminum
roofing sheet coverings and zinc coating steel roofing sheet
1.6 Assumption
While
carryout this research, it was assumed that the total area covered does
not affect the cost of the roofing materials. All economic factors
capable of influencing the cost of roofing materials are kept at
constant. Expected life of a building is 60 years.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The aim of this research is to analyzed and compare the life cycle cost
of alternative root covering materials, Zink coat roofing sheet
materials, corrugated Asbestos cement roofing materials, concrete decked
roof materials, and long span aluminum roofing materials were
considered in this research work with the objectives to determine the
initial cost and 4fecycle cost of each roofing materials, to establish
the relationship between the dfferent roof covering materials on the
