Thanks bro....

thanks for the reply ViVaFoReVeRLOVE!

1. how much more expensive is the steel beam compared to concrete beam?
2. 15 times more expensive than brickwall, eh? meaning, a 20m2 of window would costs 15 times more than an ordinary wall bricks, cements, paints etc. included? thinking of large windows actually, but used the term glass wall. yea, its aesthetics though...
3. and i assume the cost is after considering the insulated/low-e glass? or itll be more expensive with that option?
4. as for roofing material, would asphalt roofing be a good choice, considering our hot & rainy climate? worried about the possibility of the asphalt to melt down a bit under intense sunlight and to be compromised by sudden rain. ceramic seems to be tougher, but its also heavier. copper is an unorthodox choice, but might be prohibitively expensive. any opinions?
5. iinm, usually once the land has been cleared and the drainage built, itll be given some time to let the land settled. how long does this usually take?
6. whats a good practice for building cost estimates? excluding the land itself, how should the costs be broken down?
7. and what about the good practice in choosing the contractors to build the house? any advise?

still got 2-3 years maybe before doing anything with the house-building plan, or even longer, depending on the economic condition etc. meanwhile, i better prepare myself with necessary and relevant knowledge.

therefore, so many questions...

Hi, need to know more...

1. is it more economical to build a house with concrete beam or steel beam?
2. how about the cost of building a basement/subterranean level. what factors need to be put into consideration. is it advisable to do so in malaysia, considering our climate, soil condition etc?
3. how about the wall building purposes, is it better to use red bricks, cement bricks or glass-wall? how about its thermal insulation property, as im considering passive cooling design for the house as to lower ac usage.
4. thinking of a 2/3 storey detached house with minimalist styling. thus its spacious and airy with lotsa light coming in, thus the question with the glass-wall...
thanks for entertaining the questions...

Thanks for clearing my doubts.

I have a question and need an answer asap.
Recently i surveyed a high rise building in KL, a 5 star hotel.
The info I have is scale 1:50. i forgot the look for measurement for 1 unit.

the height (assuming in feet)
Floor B1 is 3750
Floor L is 6000
Floor 1 is 4000

Take 1 example, if i take 3750 divided by 50, i get 75 foot, equals to 22.86 meters. The level L is higher than that. Is it possible for 1 floor to have so high level of height?
When i consulted 1 contractor, he told normally it's around 10 meters only.

Please guide me. Thank you!

thanks

Oh since your here, let me ask you something

Good Morning ViVaFoReVeRLOVE

ViVaFoReVeRLOVE ,please enlighten me on loss & expense.

How do I claim this when project delay for years?

agreed with kleverman

Thanks ViVaFoReVeRLOVE

Then.......

1. what is lacing/lacer bar in beam?

2. what is the function of bonding ties? is it steel bar that stick out from column and stiffener? usually how many layers will need one bonding tie?

Just wondering guys...

(1) Is the Contractor liable for design produced by a nominated sub-contractor?

(2) If the Architect’s design is faulty, but the Contractor builds it badly, who is liable?

(3) Say a contractor, working under a PAM'98 contract, knows broadly what is required, but does not have drawings or specification which shows precisely what is required. So, the contractor thinks it knows what to do and carries on with the work to its own detail. Subsequently, the detail fails with serious consequences. For example, it might be a badly constructed roof detail, an inadequate stanchion base or perhaps wrongly positioned heating pipes. Is the Contractor liable for something done on its own initiative?

When the US has been the biggest overall donor to the Geneva-based World Health Organization (WHO), contributing more than US$400 million in 2019 and having voluntarily contributed much more than China to the organisation's specific programmes, one wonders if WHO would have been so foolish to support China "disinformation" and anger its biggest supporter in the process that would potentially lead to a cut-off of a crucial financial lifeline.

At this juncture, US President Donald Trump should own up and focus on tackling the pandemic which is taking a toll on his country. He should know that a head start of at least two months has been squandered since the existence of the virus was made known to the world late last year.

Trump said on Feb 29 that Washington was ready to help Iran fight the virus if its leaders requested it. The fact that he could offer the aid at that time obviously means Trump had the situation under control but apparently acted too late for his country.

If he still thinks that the head start was not enough, then think of China. It started from zero.

ViVaFoReVeRLOVE ,usually its on top of one another, no interlapping wan.. dunno what to save also lol
my core also not engineering i guess.. i do whats need to get done only

Just asking how often ppl design pilecaps to be interlapping with the slab.

i mean beam also inside the pilecaps, slab also inside the pilecaps..

I think breaking MCO is more serious as it can be classed as attempted man slaughter by spreading Covid 19. Fake news from another source is spreading unconfirmed news.
The priorities don't seem to be in order.

Fat chance again,KennyDowJones since when our System become so efficient now?

Then we will have a neutral and above board AG and the judiciary.

Fat chance NancyDrewWhite,only If government stop appointing silly people to be minister we should have less of such gaffe. Pretty tired of so call ministers or leaders with so little common sense and so much prettiness.

Lowering the threshold amount for foreigners would not solve the property overhang issue but will make it worse. The current pricing is already out of reach for Malaysians and lowering the threshold would not lower the price of the property but merely allowing foreign buyers into the lower bracket. This is clearly going to benefit the developers and the rich.

Ageson! I chased, I chased....I chased from 0.75 until now very very excited!

By the way, Rina harun and the band of 40 thieves should get it through their thick skull - it’s not about who distributes in order to score political points. It’s about making sure that the food gets to the intended recipients through all means possible. The money did not come from their own pockets - it’s rakyat’s money after all

This backdoor PN minister Rina Harun and traitor should be responsible for the undistributed food aids. This corrupt DEDAK s.u.c.ker and traitor will deny, deflect and blame all her overworked welfare officers and workers for all the problems.
Anyway WE Malaysians already know all backdoor PN ministers and leaders are experts in denying, deflecting and blaming others if any problems occurred.

Tea time, slurppppp

Give you an answer Printing U.S Dollar Dollar Dollar!

A food pack delivered is worth 100 packs lying in the community hall
Though it is rent free
Yet to be distributed
What are the reasons
1) Santhara is still keeping the address as confidential
2} youngest MP was not given the cooperation
3) Rina and team find it hard and not politically motivated
To deliver to opposition areas
4} some packs may be missing , mis-allocated or stolen or swapped for money
5 ) as donors how would you feel would be donate again
6) recipients are hungry without food drinks for days

Agree and thanks stockjobber!

stockjobber With the latest contract, Ageson has managed to clinch a total of close to RM half billion ! Imagine for a small company how much it will translate into share price

How much ya, wanted to know?

Export sand is not a new thing........

Printing U.S Dollar Dollar Dollar ,You are truly Malaysian :) .

While the granting of titles creates a class system, perhaps now that Tommy Thomas is a Tan Sri, the simple Malays will find him acceptable.

fuel hike is impact on everything. this is called domino effect. however, in order to be competitive in construction industry, u have to bid the lowest u could. however please take note that this only apply on transparent bidding process, if u know what I mean

Then, If found discrepancy and decided to use tile instead of marble, why the employer cant get the saving if error in BQ specified marble but drwg specified tiling? Cant the employer have the right to do variation order?

BABIKING, 0.8% is so high... I heard of companies going for 0.2X% before.. But measuring one huge project is really one hell task..

Good morning guys, Is it true that for one project that cost RM1.5b, a consultant company would only employ one QS?

Salute Ageson and Dato liew! +2

Heard datoserijohnnywalker buy almost rm500k, sure happy kaw kaw today?!

Do not just simply pandai2 make no refund!

Remember, At this juncture the stall holders need the money to tie over their household expenses.with no income forthcoming.

Give them back their money including money paid under the table if any but let them keep their permit. Show some generosity for a change as these people may have already invested money they they could not recoup due to the MCO. Squeezing people while they are down shows that you have no sympathy nor compassion.

Recently, i got a dilemma... I want to build a holiday house at my small small land...

But you know lah, now very HING steel structure. Modern and stylish.

So I wonder,

Steel structure vs RC structure
1) what are the pro and con of each
2) if i use steel structure, will i save some cost in foundation? Any estimated cost if there is at all any saving?

Thanks in advance.

BABIKING I found out that recent quarry materials are hard to secure good grade in compliance with condition of contract. The supplier keeps throwing excused that quarry material in good grade are hard to produce due to irregular mining source or being closed down by authority, but our client not buying this excuse. What way to protect our best interest?

If you insist good grade, supplier will sell you like 30% higher rates. It is common nowaday?


FYI if u work as contractor, what u have to do is very simple, just be genuine and do what is right. this is because contractor just a middle person, u are in between client and supplier.

what u have to do is to get few supplier to get the specific item u want, what grade. and tell them u also get other to quote the same thing. so they will felt pressure and quote u according to market price.

eg. let say got a project demand conquas standard (mean very high quality when come to standard), and u ask a subcon to quote u for let's say plastering work. usually they will tell u "hi mr. contractor, I will give u 2 rate, 1 is conquas rate 1 is normal rate". just reply to them, "hey mr. subcontractor, just quote according to the project specification. i'll get other to do the same thing" so they will felt threaten a bit coz they can't quote high if they want to get the job.

so u just have to get few cost comparison and the market price will surface to u.

true story

ViVaFoReVeRLOVE NancyDrewWhite, Why are subcontractors so terrible?Causing mrt project lots of accident. Why locals dunwan to work in construction?

Not all subcon are bad.

Not only MRT, almost all construction sites got accident occurred, for MRT such huge project just 3-4 cases considered very less d. Other small project maybe ur current house got pipu died during construction period u also dont know.

Cuz will old faster and low pay. Just like Singapore construction always got vacancy for Malaysian or Indonesian engineer. Because Singaporean want work inside office.


FYI there are many type of contractor. like local chinaman contractor, in order to increase profit they usually spend less on preliminary cost. for Japanese and Korean contractor, they care about safety so much. they truly practice safety first profit second kind of concept.

u know what are those cost would be spent in safety issue? there are plenty
1. sufficient scaffolding
2. sufficient guard rail (on high rise building)
3. safety net (those green colour u saw usually from outside)
4. competent safety officer that do his job well
5. well maintenance on machinery especially tower crane, passenger hoist
6. daily assembly to educate those foreign worker on daily basis
7. a lot more..

ViVaFoReVeRLOVE JessicaTan , How much cost for 1 kg of cement?


OPC (ordinary Portland cement) is control price item. RM17 / bag. 50kg per bag. minimum purchase is 400 bag la. when unload the cement from trailer they will charge abt 30 cents / bag.

if u only wanna buy 1 bag, hardware shop sell RM20++.

cement will "expired" also. mean those cement that remain unsold for long period after manufactured. so those cement will sell at control price minus RM2 or RM3. just like BLR -2% something like that.

FYI yes, standard package is 50kg. government control price is RM17 but will up down up down like stock market. those hardware shop repackage it into 1kg per pack also have. RM2 per kg. so u know how much they really earn. RM100 selling price when they split the 50kg pack when actual they just paid for RM17 for 50kg. but of course, minimum order is 400bag in a trailer in order to get that price. deal with trading house normally.

BABIKING Recent fuel hike just kicked in for another 10% increase. Will the manufacturer and supplier increase their construction material selling price? Is the main contractor and sub contractor also demanding certain compensation due to this fuel hike?

FYI fuel hike is impact on everything. this is called domino effect. however, in order to be competitive in construction industry, u have to bid the lowest u could. however please take note that this only apply on transparent bidding process, if u know what I mean
