We appreciate that buying a house is a life time decision. As they say, you only build one home in a life time. We therefore suggest that you take good care of evaluating the options available before you decide.

We are glad to give here below the features of this sample duplex to help you evaluate it. We commit to deliver the duplex that you may purchase to have at least these features if not more. You are welcome to compare our sample duplex with similar properties so as to arrive at a more informed decision.

I. FOUNDATION, SUB AND SUPER STRUCUTRE
