I'm having problems with this recent smart partnership thingy with TM. They seems to be inconsistent in their procedure. Serdang branch said like this, kinrara said like that.
At what stage will TM release surat sokongan for CCC? After complete infra work or up to overall installation of telephone system? One of TM branch had inspected our infra work and release surat sokongan but we haven't got fibre coming to our building. Whos scope is it to lay the fibre from existing manhole to our building and how do I execute it?
connection to existing service from main building to Telekom Manhole completed then they will come and inspect. usually internal distribution within building should be ready at that stage what
how much does usually building a pool cost for a 6 ft deep 12ft width 30ft length cost?
by diging under
cost is unknown bro. need to see the drawing, site condition then only can price it accurately. digging soil? hack existing concrete? then pump room location?
Hi, I would like to know about quantity surveyors 1. What do they actually do? ultimate goal is costing. to adminster the project in costing and contractual issue. contractor do contracting. so always have to know what is ur right stand cotractually. bid the project accurately for tendering work. accurate as in not over pricing (over u lose the bid) and not under pricing (u suffer loss in project). 2. Do they work like slaves? smart QS shake leg. true story 3. Is there a demand or quantity surveyors now? yes. hunting QS everywhere i saw even now.
is use granite/marble, what are the cons and pros?
got money use solid timber lo. no budget use engineered timber. no budget for engineered timber floor then use lami floor (not really a timber floor for lami)
In view of the current market condition, I wonder anyone can share with me what the contractor is going to do in order to continue to survive.
9 out of 10 developers I met are pulling handbrake due to many uncertainties in the market .. They stop acquiring land for development. Some have land bank some may not.
When there is no developments, most of the related industry will be affected as well...
medium and low end still high in demand. the demand is so robust. if u talk abt high end, yes during bad economy like now, they will pul handbrake.
oh no, what i mean is , why usually wood is used in bedroom instead of granite/marble? is it because granite/marble is cold and doesnt give the warm feeling of bedroom?
wood for bedroom. but timber floor expensive so mostly u saw tiles
my pinion container house won't be a trend. i still prefer a house attached to land without moving here & there. imagine there are so many connection to be done when u move and settle down. connection to electric, water supply, the waste pit (real shit kind of stuff) etc it's like a headache
how about something like this? it looks good. i really like the sustainable ideas built into the house.
well until u stay then only u will feel the cons and perhaps u will hate it so much.
look nice but could be not practical. like every time u need to sleep have to fold down and up imagine 1 day u back home so tired still have to do preparation b4 sleep
two 40ft containers side by side should be enough room. three 40ft containers high would give 3 levels, 4 if including roof. what u mean? just add staircase to the roof can liao mah.
bomba not see this requirement 1. like the walkway is how wide and etc. anyway, ur intention is to save money? if the cost is equivalent to build a landed properties, u will consider do it?
i think this can save the scaffolding cost. not just scaffolding cost itself, also can save the labour to erect and dismantle scaffolding when moving to other room.

How do I calculate for GFA and NFA when comes to trusses and roof? Some QS that I know use either GFA and NFA. Now I am confused. NFA is internal perimeter, but some argue saying roof and trusses should be GFA.
Also to add, when they create formwork using hard wood, is there a specific guideline to follow, I mean the spacing in between must not exceed by how many mm? Thickness of hardwood? Different concrete grade, different wood thickness?
Why shear wall often got hollow issue? Any remedy/solution to this?
On which type of project Green Building Index and Building Information Modelling must be implemented?
gfa is gross floor area. it give u an indication base on project completed in the past. so u can figure it out the price. usually developer estimate cost backward. NFA stand for what?
plywood then hardwood support below. u mean this hardwood right? hardwood is because this wood can stand the load and won't break even it bent a lot due to heavy loan. concrete grade nothing to do. there are certain spacing to be comply. anyway nowadays is system formwork era. most architect insist to use system formwork.
shear wall is generally deeper when u cast the concrete. it's poor vibration especially bottom part where concrete can't reach perfectly. also rebar congestion make it difficult to vibrate the bottom of shear wall. rectification is depend the severity of the hollow / honeycomb it have. hack the hollow part then put the formwork and pour non-shrink grout is the general solution. but consulting engineer will tell u if they want other solution if the case is serious. they might want u to hack entire shear wall and redo.
gbi got score index. depend how many point u wanna achieve. and how u get those point from

sometimes i wonder, how those contractor, consultant, clerk of work, dev get their wife and gf...
well, i got a position as site technician supplier side but must based on site, pay is 3.5k+travel
but my main concern is getting a soulmate. already very few female friends in my circle, if join construction will get even worst. serious advice needed
don't spend ur entire time in construction bro. anyway majority of qs is girl
When you say concrete can't reach perfectly, who to blame? Design = Engineer OR concrete = Supplier OR Construction = PM? Main contractor to be blame. Engineer design and contractor execute the work. usually it will produce "honeycomb" defect and will register as NCR (non-conformance report) issued by consulting engineer
May I know what is the difference between cost estimate and cost plan? Cos I often hear these terms. They say these two and BQ, all three are not the same. I am very confused. I not sure what exactly u mean. cost estimate is actually a breakdown cost. eg. how u derive 1m2 of floor tile? u need cost breakdown like this, 1.supply of tile 2.wastage of tile 3.cement screed to receive tile 4.adhesive for tile 5.labour to lay tile 6.15% profit and attendance Total of 1-6 = $xx/m2
BQ is showing the quantity and rate and total amount of entire project.
Who is fully responsible in producing BIM? Architect? Designer? 3D Visualizer? Main contractor produce BIM
How to use 'Cost Plus'? And which Cost Plus is frequently used? Cost plus mean u enter the contract whereby u "reveal" the actual cost to client and ask for a % of profit. example u need RM100k hire 5 subcontractor and RM10k for ur team managemement coordination & supervision expenses, and u want 10% as profit. so u give ur client the breakdown of cost. (RM100,000 + RM10,000) x 1.10 = RM121,000. in future got any variation order will use this basis to adjust.
If let say client direct deal with a vendor, we as the main-con we charge them for coordination and planning, can I put this under 'cost plus' and charge them at 5%? Is 5% the maximum for cost plus? depend how the contract say. in PAM 2006 standard form of contract it written 15% for P&A. bear in mind this is profit & attendance. so is subcontractor cost + 15% as the management team is included in 15%. 15% quite standard. even singapore standard form of contract PSSCOC (for government project) also mention the same thing. however this always can become the arguing matter in term of wording
Any other scenario when the cost plus takes place? cost plus is just a meaning of the actual cost to build a house (all labour, material, machinery, supervision team) and then plus a profit percentage u desire that is.
Eg. item (1 until 6) + item 7 = cost plus 1.supply of tile 2.wastage of tile 3.cement screed to receive tile 4.adhesive for tile 5.labour to lay tile 6.5% of attendance 7.10% profit
however pricing strategy a lot out there. as a main contractor, the cost breakdown of entire project is very complex. because u have to take consideration of many things.
I've been attached to my current firm (interior design/renovation) close to 3 years now. When I joined, I applied and started in the accounts(finance) department, less than a year in the HR job fell on my lap as well. In year 2, I find myself going down to the sites to monitor and co-ordinate labor & material. I could still cope up till there, but now - I'm also involved in pre & post-tender works (including defect follow up from projects long ago).
I have no background in construction/quantity surveying and I'm struggling with pre & post-tender works. Is there anyway to grasp it any faster? (maybe a course for Quantity Surveying / Construction Management would help? )
fastest would be imperia college. 1 year for QS degree course (without honours). top up 1 and half year more u have honours degree
