hey guys, u may ask me anything about construction industry and i'll try my best to answer all ur question.


Construction Industry is so complex and actually affect various party namely,

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.)

u can also ask me about construction law. I know a lot abt that too

Mostly contractor refuse to use waterproof systems

Uniform Building by-Laws 1984 - Clause 84



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.

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

hot girl all sapu-ed by u redi 

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

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

2nd storey overrated?

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.

actually no need abortive work ma. I only want to build the 180 sqf at back yard and 2nd storey 180 sqf. so there are 6 supportive columns. so should I abort my plan or just continue it?

ohh at the backyard. if like that it should be fine. just new foundation to backyard, new ground floor and new upper floor. get a consulting engineer and they will do everything for u. including local authority submission and approval. if u need it then just build it lo
