House buyer / Purchaser
Developer
Consultant (Architect, Engineer and etc)
Main Contractor
Subcontractor / Vendor / Supplier
Local Authority (DBKL, BOMBA, SYABAS, TNB, TELEKOM, POS, JKKP, IWK and etc.)

I remember staying in a room next to the bathroom on a Condo in Penang 3 years ago. Guess what? At night the ammonia odor seeped into the room from the wall. rclxub.gif

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

so,

adequate waterproof is needed be it admixture or barrier

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

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 biggrin.gif

for bidding process, we always paid some premium for insider just to win the bid. regarding the cost and budget, we will figure out later. eg, material swaping, alternative material, alternating specifications and etc

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 biggrin.gif

i done CONQUAS 21 and CIDB QLASSIC before, nothing different in rates. If priced high like 30% of standard rates due to excessive workmanship compliance and wastage allocation, we aint gonna win the bid. Bear in mine, Conquas have incentive and penalty scheme, it always not our target to hit any.

8. stair finishes
9. stair balustrade & handrail
10. external walls
11. windows
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

why suppliers have more profit than the producers? producers only 20% net margin whereas suppliers can profit 30%

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!

I'm in construction too but mine is shipbuilding.
Does building construction have a monitoring 3rd party body for QAQC.
As in shipbuilding we have a plenty of established body to pick.

is it cheap or just a clueless act to build just 180sqf for 2nd floor? I think I just wanna hire indon labour to avoid expensive cost from engineer. Indon laour is enough and I will not tell local authority ma because I am in G&G residential and it's only 180sqf without roof for 2nd storey
