04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

How do building codes shape a design in Wajaale?

They set the setbacks, height, structure and safety, which the design must follow.

What should I consider when planning a house in Wajaale?

Wajaale is a border town on the Ethiopia crossing west of Hargeisa. The busy cross-border trade route keeps materials and labour within reach, and the dry climate needs little waterproofing beyond the roof.

Why design to the codes from the start?

So the drawings are approved and built without rework, rather than corrected later.
