estimated prices?

I want to become a subcon, what I should do first?
Any advice friend

Base material cost for a 20'x70' double storey is how much at minimum? How many party it went through, and each party mark up how much for profit?

In the end if I pay RM500k for that house, actually how much profit is made by all parties involved?

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

additional almost 100% of the house value also goes to the bank... means if house is 500k, in the end already paid the bank 1 million including interests...

I handle construction disputes and will try to explain what is meant by latent defects.

Basically, the easiest way to explain latent defects are defects which are hidden, i.e defects which does not appear during the early period. However, these defects had manifested during construction stage. The easiest example of a latent effect is a perhaps a bad foundation works which was not done according to specification/ drawing/ plans. It is only through the afflux of time that subsequently the defects rear its head.

The main problem of latent defect is to prove that the defect existed in the first place. Because through afflux of time, thing naturally deteriorate thus it becomes almost impossible to know if the defect had occurred in the beginning or due to fair tear and ware. This is when an expert / specialist is needed to prove such defects were latent.

The classic case of Pirelli General Cable Works Ltd v Oscar Faber & Partners  [1983] 2 AC 1  exemplifies a case study of latent defects. Note that UK has its own Latent Defect Act, unlike Malaysia.

However, the common law position as expounded in Perelli's case is adopted in Malaysia. Thus limitation of 6 years only runs when the defects could have been reasonably forseen/ identified. Hence, the DLP period plays no part in respect of damages due to latent defects.

Hope this helps to the TS above. (sorry I don't know how to quote multiple posts)

Just for the sake of curiosity and knowledge, hope anyone in the construction industry or engineer can reply me...

what happens to the disposal everytime when we flush our toilet? the journey to sewage plant? is there any construction specialist can share with me? thanks

thanks for the share bro, as in the case for Klang Valley, where do they go to after going through treatment plant? definitely not klang river right...

hi, may i know do civil engineers work under the sun all the time? i am aware that site engineers are required to work under the sun more often on the other hand consultants usually work in the office..my younger sister planning to pursue civil engineering for her degree but my parents are worried this career might not be suitable for ladies as the working environment is undeniably harsh..what do you guys think? if she insists on taking this course what other career options will she have other than working under the sun all day? hope the experienced ones can give some insights on this matter..thank you

1)What certificate is important and valuable in construction field that can help increase your value as engineer?

For example

Scaffolding Certificate
Chargeman
Wireman

What else you think?

2)Diploma or Degree in Mech Eng for constructions field.

3)Design section or site supervising? Which can help to rise up faster?

1.so experience matters? Doesn't the extra certificate means anything
2.ok
3.how to enter design section.....what if my comp put me in other section

and i heard some ppl in the industry claiming that the ladies engineers at the site are always discriminated given little to no respect by the foreign workers. May i know how true is that?

pretty much true
i know a lady site engineer facing the same exact problem
i think for a lady to work on site she just needs to be more garang/tegas/knowledgeable and just prove herself. it really not easy,.. but good things will come

Hello,

I signed the SnP on 11 Dec 2011, but 14 March 2016 then get the house key. developer paid me RM13k for the LAD. I am not sure it is acceptable. Can you please enlighten me?
thanks

thanks bro for reply. I also don't know where to find out LAD per day. Is that usually mentioned in SnP?

Maintenance fee is already charged moment I got the house key, though facilities are not ready to be used. So I should claim LAD from this, too?

thank you brother. Is that the standard calculation?

S&P property price = 261k.
delays days = (08 Dec 2011 to 17 March 2016 ) - 3 years = 365 days + 95 days = 460 days

Unit handover: 261,000 x 0.1 x 460/365 = 32893

Common facilities: 261,000 x 0.2 x 0.1 x 460/365 = 6578

Total = 32893 + 6578 = 39471

Is this the amount they should pay me?? They only paid me 13k now.
Is there a source of your calculation above?

Thanks brother. It is helpful.

By the way, do you know why the developer so celaka always want to pay lesser to us? Hoping for sohai to accept it?

Well, i must say the law is not on the purchaser side. Instead of saying purchaser is entitled to, it shld make developer pay up automatically when delay happens.
