Sample analysis of correlation of cost inputs of timber products in roof construction.

Timber is widely used in the construction of buildings. It is a very visible component of roof structure and it forms the structure upon which the covering is laid. The cost of roofing is on the increase owing to the difficulties in sourcing timber in lumber forms nowadays. In Nigeria the constru...
