The Challenges of Living as a Bachelor in Dhaka
As a fortunate young adult and student living with my family, I have come to appreciate the comforts of having a roof over my head, meals prepared for me (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), my clothes washed, and not having to worry about cleaning my room. This leads me to realise that there is a completely opposite and contrasting side, with the uncertainties that come with living alone as a bachelor.
All you need to know about fire safety in residential buildings
In 2022, the fire service officials in Dhaka evaluated 1,162 buildings and labelled 136 of them as “extremely risky” and 499 as “risky” in terms of fire hazards. The recent incidents in Bailey Road, Moghbazar and Narayanganj demand a closer inspection of the risks of fire hazards not only in commercial buildings but also in residential ones, especially when it comes to highrises.
Quieting the Chaos: Effective Noise Reduction Solutions for Urban Areas

The silent guardian: Wiring safety
In the 21st century, it is almost impossible to imagine life without electricity. It powers every aspect of our daily lives, from our homes to our workplaces. However, electrical hazards, such as fires and the risk of short circuits, remain significant concerns, often worsened by poor cable quality.
Lifts in High Demand Local Manufacturers Redefining the Elevator Market
Once considered a luxury, lifts have now become essential as high-rise buildings have become more common in big cities. Today, lifts are indispensable for apartment residents, creating promising opportunities for local manufacturers and offering benefits for buyers.
Designing an ideal: workspace for your home
As the landscape of work shifts dramatically towards remote and hybrid models, the need for a well-designed home office has never been more essential. A thoughtfully planned workspace not only enhances productivity but also contributes to a healthier work-life balance. From ergonomic setups to personalised comfort, each element plays a pivotal role in creating an effective home office.
Fans in apartments
When it comes to making an apartment a more pleasant place to live, fans are often the unsung heroes. They do much more than just beat the heat—they enhance air circulation, boost your décor, and are a boon for energy savings. Whether you’re a fan aficionado or just considering your first purchase, understanding the types, benefits, and smart ways to use fans can transform your apartment living experience.
