all the door must have lintel. if not soon or later it will sag as the load magnitude toward the top of door frame

regarding and height, that's the lintel when ur brickwall is high. that 1 u a can refer to the "general note" of drawing. but definitely in ur case it has nothing to do with the height. all the door require lintel la.

lintel just cast insitu at site, after cure then only put on top of frame. easy job how come cannot find? of course u need to pay separately so subcon for the lintel he do for u.

no. why?

varies. i can tell u this markup go through many level already. for developer, 25% is profit while 75% is expenses to build the building up.

Out of 75%, 60% is main con and the balance 15% goes to consultant fee, local authority contribution, marketing & advertising, and etc.

Out of 60%, 54% is actual cost given to subcon fixing cost and maincon supervision cost while 6% is main con profit.

out of 54%, 46% is the material and labour subcon use while 8% is subcon profit.

in conclusion, actual material and labour cost to build is just 46%

of course this is different from project to project

no idea. need basis to estimate. like excavation cost how much per km, then lay of fibre cable how much per km, then how much of backfill and premix tar road per km. the cost times 1000 is the answer. this is how QS estimate the price.

no idea on those remote place 1

actually there are poly foam coping. light and easy to fix. but of course provided Architect accepted this proposal

look in the contract of variation work clauses. it allow main con to claim in daywork too if the work cannot be measured. but this case u can measure. so cannot claim daywork, but u can convert daywork to meter run. definitely the ordinary process of work is disrupted therefore different price have to be allow to cater such variation. u need to justify this to client. if client say can do at cheap cost, tell him pass u that subcon. u use that subcon and mark up 15% as allow in contract. PAM standard form of contract allow 15% mark up provided the subcon invoice shown to client. of course this best to be done b4 u physically execute the work.

yes. lot of material is cheap if u can import in bulk quantities. Sanitary wares and fitting, glass, aluminium extrusion, tile, steel bar and etc. quality is on par as well.

developer won't make rugi business. for sure they factor in the GST in the selling price la

think account / finance is better career. imagine work at bank bonus 10 months, this will never happen at contractor

bro, fresh engineer get RM2.6k at consultant. if contractor RM3k for fresh graduate is easy la got degree in mechanical engineering right?

better get a contractor to quote u. it involve various of specialist. sand filter, water pump supplier, swimming pool builder, M&E contractor fixing the thing and etc.

bro, what kang tao u have? do let me know

go attend seminar. obtain the green book. if not mistaken is niosh department. but nowadays they require degree in ESH would be a good stepping stone. Environment, safety and health.

Langdon Seah, KPK. for gain experience.

long time didn't reply in this thread. will reply as much as I can

the only way to do is to hack and redo bro. not worth it. the o-ring groove for better wheel gripping so if u don't mind abt the appearance, just leave it there

ic. I no idea either. but these are more on gas and plumbing trade

what mean X developer?

about RM1,950 per tonne bro (supply and deliver only)

oic. u need investor bro. got land but no money also cannot develop. and beside that, u need a 1stop contractor. that he can help u do submission and etc. Architect basically alone cannot do much because this is not just about architect, u also need engineer & planner. all these can get through "1stop contractor"
