HI guys, power float + floor hardener and power float only. what is the difference?

Posted by ViVaFoReVeRLOVE > 2020-04-20 11:45 | Report Abuse

hi UraniumKing68 powerfloat mean direct finish on concrete. power float is a machine look like helicopter but upside down 1. after u cast concrete, then u will use this "helicopter" to spin on the floor make it smooth. hence no need do additional floor screed after concrete cured.

power float + floor hardener mean u spread the floor hardener powder on the floor slab when the floor slab concrete still not yet set (not yet dry and hard mean) and then power float it. it is like a coating to concrete floor. have strong mechanical properties. hardly crack. can stand heavy duty implication. in residential and commercial building, normally it is use on car park.

power float machine aka "helicopter"

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

Posted by BABIKING > 2020-04-20 11:48 | Report Abuse

SEdap, goodday . YoungTycoonWILL

Developer will engage a consultant team consist of,
1. Project Management Consultant
2. Architect
3. Engineer (M&E and C&S)
4. QS
5. Landscape Architect
6. ID (optional)
7. Lighting (optional)

so basically developer engage a professional service from consulting QS firm by paying them about 0.8% of building cost. let's say the building cost is 500mil, then the QS professional fee is 500m x 0.008 = 4mil. developer generally don't care how many staff the QS firm put for that project, as long as u deliver ur professional service that's it. nowadays, consultant firm will put a QS to do a project then will have senior to overlook the QS la.

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?

Posted by BABIKING > 2020-04-20 11:54 | Report Abuse

YoungTycoonWILL, that is a lum sum contract (eg. pam form without quantity). nowadays mostly construction main contract is adopting contract in lump sum basis. the reason behind is because of client have a budget for the project and therefore want the contractor to study through drawing and price it. in lump sum contract, the drawing take precedent. bq only as a reference

in contract v quantity, the bq take precedent, therefore anything not in the bq is addition, anything extra in the bq is omission (saving to employer). however there would be some discrepancy / unclear info that will induce a saving which the employer not entitle to deduct also. eg. drawing mention that using dark grey tile and bq mention dark grey tile. to contractor, he assume that dark grey tile is dark grey granite tile so he price it base on granite rate. turned out it's a homogeneous tile after clarify v architect. so contractor subsequently pay low for that work and still can claim accordingly.

Hello guys,

(1) Can the Main Contractor refuse to comply with an Architect’s instruction which requires the acceptance of the quotation of a Sub-contractor chosen by the Architect?

(2) If the Employer gives instructions on site directly to the contractor, must the Contract follow-up with the Architect to confirm those instructions in writing? or just ?

(3) Does the Clerk of Works has the power stop the Works?

Posted by ViVaFoReVeRLOVE > 2020-04-20 12:03 | Report Abuse

Printing U.S Dollar Dollar Dollar , nice to have you here today!

1. subcontractor chosen by architect, we called that nominated subcontractor. contractor can reject if he got a good ground. this is stipulated in the standard form of contract.

2. yes, contractor should write in not because of they have to do that, but to put thing into writing and serve to architect. in future got dispute these would be the evidence.

3. yes, they can stop the work. they represent architect. however if stop wrongly then the contractor can claim for expenses due to the hindrance of regular progress

Posted by ViVaFoReVeRLOVE > 2020-04-20 12:03 | Report Abuse

UraniumKing68, ya, cement render mean put cement screed then apply trowelled finish on the screed. the screed can only be lay after concrete slab cured.

powerfloat is direct finish on the concrete slab. when concrete still wet, they use the "helicopter" to spin the make it smooth finish on concrete and hence called direct finish.

hi DatoSeriJohnnyWalker ,when water evaporates, the water that used to occupy the space has became "cavity" within concrete. and capillary effect cause the water the slip through...

so,

adequate waterproof is needed be it admixture or barrier

1. work below lowest floor
2. frame
3. upper floor

5. roof covering
6. roof drainage
7. stair structure
8. stair finishes
9. stair balustrade & handrail
10. external walls

12. external doors
13. internal wall & partition
14. internal doors
15. internal wall finishes
16. internal floor finishes
17. internal ceiling finishes
18. external finishes
19. fittings, fixtures and furniture
20. sanitary appliances
21. sundries

Actually, 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 for project like MRT, people in mmc gamuda who doing all these paper work is very high paid

Just asking for a friend, to build 2nd storey is expensive 2x cost of the 1st floor? how to renovate house with cheapest rate? still have 180sqf free at the back of the house(for bedroom and kitchen) and plan to have 2nd storey too for dry the clothes. should build 2nd storey or?

2nd storey overrated?

Posted by BABIKING > 2020-04-20 12:39 | Report Abuse

NancyDrewWhite ,expensive to build coz u already completed first floor without consider the foundation for 2nd storey. by add 1 more floor, u need a stronger foundation, stronger column and therefore a lot of abortive work need to be done. eg. such as u need to strengthen the column, do the underpinning work to have stronger foundation. perhaps hack off some ground floor slab just to increase few more footing and so on. need to engage consulting engineer to come out the drawing for u also. ain't cheap.

HI NancyDrewWhite, happy day........ is it cheap or just a clueless act to build just 180sqf for 2nd floor? I think you can ask your friend to hire indon labour to avoid expensive cost from engineer. Indon labour is enough and properbly no one cares to tell local authority because its G&G residential and it's only 180sqf without roof for 2nd storey

Posted by ViVaFoReVeRLOVE > 2020-04-20 12:45 | Report Abuse

Larrie Chew ,it's not advisable to do it without getting endorsement from engineer and approval from local authority. even u can over design it to ensure it's perfectly secure, sometimes unforeseen thing will just happen. if something happen and even not due to ur fault, not due to ur structural design issue, they will still pin point at u as u didn't get endorsement for the work and no approval from local authority at first place. so u lose the case b4 even it require to assess ur secured design.

anyway it ain't expensive also la. all those material is cheap. maybe u estimate about RM125/sqft for ur work. normal finishes, not expensive type. but endorsement and local authority expenses would be a lot as ur quantity is small yet the same procedure had to be go through.

All season stockmarket traders, investors and speculators knows these rules. Financial market i.e stockmarket recovered first before real economy. Thats why no surprise the FBMKLCI and Dow Jones had performing well these days. FBMKLCI is already 16%++ and Dow Jones already 33%++.

Its up to you whether you want to take risk or not. Its your money. Normally, people will start chasing when the stocks is already 300%++ profits..so don't be those 'smart' people. For Ageson 7145, everything below 30sen is considered cheap based on track record.

In shadow of coronavirus, Muslims face a Ramadan like never before

Days before the holy fasting month of Ramadan begins, the Islamic world is grappling with an untimely paradox of the new coronavirus pandemic: enforced separation at a time when socialising is almost sacred.

The holiest month in the Islamic calendar is one of family and togetherness – community, reflection, charity and prayer.

But with shuttered mosques, coronavirus curfews and bans on mass prayers from Senegal to Southeast Asia, some 1.8 billion Muslims are facing a Ramadan like never before.

Across the Muslim world, the pandemic has generated new levels of anxiety before Ramadan begins on or around Thursday, April 23.

In Algiers, Yamine Hermache, 67, usually receives relatives and neighbours at her home for tea and cold drinks during the month that Muslims fast from dusk till dawn. But this year she fears it will be different.

"We may not visit them, and they will not come," she said, weeping. "The coronavirus has made everyone afraid, even of distinguished guests."

Posted by Larrie Chew > 2020-04-21 11:47 | Report Abuse

In a country where mosques have been closed, her husband Mohamed Djemoudi, 73, worries about something else.

"I cannot imagine Ramadan without tarawih," he said, referring to additional prayers performed at mosques after iftar, the evening meal in which Muslims break their fast.

Saudi Arabia urged Muslims not to gather for prayers or socialise because of the rising number of coronavirus cases in the Gulf region.

"We are all in one boat, if we commit together we'll safely reach the shore. We used to have a lot of social activities during Ramadan. This year it will be different and I urge everyone to commit to social distancing," Health Minister Tawfiq al-Rabiah said in a televised address on Monday.

In Jordan, the government, in coordination with neighbouring Arab countries, is expected to announce a fatwa, or edict, outlining what Ramadan rituals will be permitted, but for millions of Muslims, it already feels so different.

From Africa to Asia, the coronavirus has cast a shadow of gloom and uncertainty.

'Worst year ever'

Around the souks and streets of Cairo, a sprawling city of 23 million, the coronavirus has been disastrous.

"People don't want to visit shops, they are scared of the disease. It's the worst year ever," said Samir El-Khatib, who runs a stall by the historic al-Sayeda Zainab Mosque. "Compared with last year, we haven't even sold a quarter."

During Ramadan, street traders in the Egyptian capital stack their tables with dates and apricots, sweet fruits to break the fast, and the city’s walls with towers of traditional lanterns known as "fawanees".

Posted by Larrie Chew > 2020-04-21 11:47 | Report Abuse

But this year, the authorities have imposed a night curfew and banned communal prayers and other activities, so not many people see much point in buying the lanterns.

Among the few who ventured out was Nasser Salah Abdelkader, 59, a manager in the Egyptian stock market.

"This year there's no Ramadan mood at all," he said. "I'd usually come to the market, and right from the start people were usually playing music, sitting around, almost living in the streets."

Dampening the festivities before they begin, the coronavirus is also complicating another part of Ramadan, a time when both fasting and charity are seen as obligatory
