Abstract
Although building on a hill can be quite a challenge, the property market has opened up a lot of hilly areas for construction. Abdu-Wahab Nyanzi, an architect, says building on a hill involves specific detail on certain technicalities. "Concrete floors, hard landscaping, stepping the foundation, retaining walls, drop manholes, access routes, management of run-off water, risk of landslides, appropriate house positioning and management of sewerage are some major aspects to consider before you start the construction," Nyanzi says.
