he means excavate until the base of rubble wall, the undisturbed/ original soil level, footing shall construct on this level...

& your rear column are off center from your footing, "oh-ba" contractor

then i must pray hard that my rubble wall do not failed me .......

Quite dangerous. Your house and area is still new. Soil haven't settle in. And you said 80% the house doing this way. There is very high stress on the rubble wall. All this possible sign of perfect disaster.

Here is the description what Ah_yee and us talking about.

yup... thats the "proper" way.. but contractor all pakai short cut....

if the wall gives way.. then gone case.. cause the "wall" isn't a RC wall its more like big granite stones stacked and hold into place by cement ???

this is the ideal way for back extension. Of coz it incur high cost impact.

Look quite risky. If the soil is fill type, the weight of the extension house is pressing it down.

you the man bro , a picture represent a thousand words!!!

not sure bro , but many many many house in my area build like this , some even build level 3..........

so may be i need to ask my indon help jaga jaga my rubble wall .....

ask them put more cement

the rubble wall seem strong from its look, that area build half way and abandoned for many years (by TALAM !!!! but later take over by IJM) , so i guess the soil should be settled in ?

as i can see when they gorek the backyard , there are 80% or big granite stone on ground instead of soil, so pray hard my rubble wall dun fail me , hahaha

If you said TALAM developer, I m more worried about you.

I see the high wall, my kaki shaking already.

The more higher of this rubble wall the more risk it will fall if stress. Somemore straight 90deg up without angle slope.

How high is the stone wall? It look to me about 5ft or more?

My house is raised up too, but about 3ft, and my contractor build the footing around 3ft+ deep of digging, which is still sufficient. Anyway I build the structure for 2 floors, but did not build up the back. Only for future if I got $$$$, and the reason for me to do also to make sure contractor build stronger foundation. Of course i have to pay more.

did @ts say how high the "back-wall" is ?

the problem with this kind of stone/stacked wall, is there is this little little gaps that allow water to flow out..

sometimes this flowing out water causes under soil erosion.... those that have GI pipes running underneath the hall/porch/garden will know when leak hahahahha

not sure for this case.. but better for ts to check with the Majlis what is the proper method, or consultant.. common sense logic will say for double story extension yes.. need go go until the main "footing" of the land/soil...

for single story there isn't much stress, except for the pillar and roof... compared with a full double story extension where u need support the RC flooring slab the upper walls and pillars and etc.. the weight itself is.. "alot"

unless your consultant say OK.. better make sure he provide planning documents and sign off on it...

if anything happen make sure SUE HIM KAU KAU including the contractor.. make sure they bankrupt so that won't cause harm in the future

If you check those TS picture, see straight to the next house, the high level same as 2nd storey of that house. Probably 3m high.

3meter of stone stacked/cemented wall ??

scary sial, even RC 2 meter high 3/4 feet thick also can pecah/cannot support the weight..

this one new taman or old taman ???

TS mention it is TALAM abandon project many yrs revise back by IJM. TALAM is a famous shit cut corner developer.

sometime camera angle can play trick on our eyes, look to me could be 2meter or 6ft.

Talam did not cut corner, but pay the sub con penny so sub con do penny work

oh.. okie.. didnt know that heard of talam name alot..

oh no wonder this talam is the talam that khalid like do some kind of thinggy to help those who bought the project and kena abandon right

okie.. back to the discussion...

please post more pics @ts and also a pic to show how high is the actual stone stacked wall behind

If you go to bukit jalil side and see those talam house, you will shake your head. Those banglo house quality like low cost house quality.

Talam now change name to trinity. If not mistaken they focus in Rawang and that made them go into PN17

Many buy the bungalow for the land only.

My BIL brought the mid or was it last phase of the link house develop by them in early 2000, project freeze and restart back, got the key only few years ago. He told me the house are very low, lots of pillar. Not sure is this the same area like the TS.
