Before we begin.

What does a floor plan show in Marka?

The rooms, walls, doors, windows and dimensions of one floor, drawn to scale so sizes and relationships are clear.

Marka is a coastal port town south of Mogadishu on the Indian Ocean. Coastal salt and humidity call for corrosion-resistant finishes, with the port and the Mogadishu road as supply routes.

Why are dimensions important?
