A unique project

Today, I would like to share with my readers a unique project which I was entrusted to do. It is something of a challenge to me as this is not on the upper floor of a shophouse. The fact is it is inside the roof of one the buildings in town, a a swiftlet central area, which I will not reveal the location, for security and confidential reasons. The roof is full of trusses but I found the middle portion which can accomodate a swiftlet shelter and the size if equivalent to 1 floor of the shophouse. The roof is already insulated with aluminium insulation paper and wood wool but the temperature is still above the allowable limit for hosting swiftlet The humidity is the opposite, that is, below the allowable limit. Thus, it will be a challenge to get the temperature and humidity to the desired setting.

The entrance hole will be covered up (sheltered) from
the top and swiftlets enter through the
triangular portion which is left opened.

Nesting planks (single and 2 tier combined) and gypsum plaster ceiling
board. Gypsum plaster board chosen instead of cement board is because
it is more cooling and swiftlets prefer gypsum or lime to cement
