TQ nicky...biggrin.gif PMed already to you and craftknots.
Other tips;

someone ask me, the sample of BS steel, below is the sample my house steel, size 12, if you have chances to see size of CQ steel is smaller and 'lembik'..

for beam, better to make is a little bit bigger, mind is rather small.

another tips:

1. before concrete the floor, please put the construction plastic before concrete, many do not know the main reason to put the plastic. The main reason to put the plastic to avoid the water from concrete to dry to fast to soil and causing the concrete premature dry and can cause your floor concrete brittle or crack or. Many think that the main reason to put plastic is to avoid water vapor, this as secondary reason.

2. The best method to concrete floor is as my pic below, the BS BRC net steel (the jaring steel) is tie to the beam that exposed, these will make your floor concrete super strong..smile.gif..see my pic below. Please use BS BRC net size 7 or 8, especially for upper storey. If for single storey house BS BRC net steel size 6 pun ok lah.

3. If you raise your floor like mine (i raise 1 feet above), please fill with sand (as we know sand not 'takung water'). If possible do not fill with tanah or sampah sarap, usually contractor want save money, cause sand is expensive. Usually 'tanah' will 'mendap' as time goes, then there is gap between floor. Before concrete, let your sand fully 'mendap' by rain water or pipe water. Then after the sand mendap, then re fill any gap, then you can concrete after your sand is stabil.

Another reason not to use tanah or sampah2...is to avoid any water takung below your concrete.
