yeah if price is an option to them. if u can build at golden triangle and RM50 per night per room, shouldn't be problem. I doubt u can even survive v that

ya, modern house using good quality and good species of timber. cengal, balau, teak not cheap. look nice and have good properties against weather exposure as u wanna use it as frame

TS
may i know how to recognize type of steel and size of BRC?

If u mean by looking, then i must say it's from experience or u can measure it yourself. Want more info can ask brochure from the suppliers

single layer wood bored call what in canto

Sometime i pass by construction site i see got alot of big stone block stack together maybe few hundred tonnes there.

Whats the purpose?

That one to test the piling...

how to cheat the developer if when requested to do a load test and you didn't sufficiently did enough piling works.. ?

Where can cheat one la....and piling never ever cheat...foundation la wei...

What's the std guidelines to building speed bumps is residential area? Thanks

At 31 years old is it too late for me to join construction industry as safety officer?the only construction exp i have is as weighbrigde clerk at klia 2 project.

will do,LIKED!

I believe u mean those reinforcement bar embedded inside concrete. there are 2 type, 1 is steel bar (like a round bar) and there categorize base on diameter of the bar. eg. T12, T16, T20, T32, R6, R10, Y20.
R = round bar (the surface of bar is smooth and yield stress is lower)
T = high tensile bar (the bar made by twisting of bar hence have high yield stress)
Y = higher tensile strength than "T" type of bar.

the number represent diameter. 12mm, 25mm, 32mm and etc. steel bar come in standard length 12m long.

another type is BRC (BRC is a company name). that is wire mesh consist of small steel bar welded together in a mesh. it come with size 6m x 2.2m each piece. these BRC made by smaller size of round bar like R6, R5, R4 and etc. using BRC can save time as u don't have to tie the steel bar as it come welded from factory. BRC got the reference code, each reference ode give u the spacing of the small round bar welded and diameter of bar used. so engineer can design base on their requirement when come to structural design.

what? "sam kap ban" u mean? 3 layer plywood. or block board u mean? block board is 1 think layer top, 1 thin layer bottom and middle is timber struc ("kok zai").

pile load test. they put the block as if the full building load is there. to test the pile b4 build the structure on top of that pile. pile is foundation of building. discussed at few page earlier, got picture there.

of course they can cheat. but then consulting engineer engaged by developer to supervise contractor if they are cheating or not. all the work required to be inspected and accepted by consulting engineer. structural engineer basically give life time warranty to developer on the integrity of structure.

on premix road? not so sure if there are written guideline for this. but when they require u to reduce the speed the speed hump would be there la

school area, road to genting at sharp corner? car park etc

it's never too late at 31. safety officer very high in demand.

1. How to calculate the costs for using excavator or bulldozer for land clearing works

2. Is there any difference in the rates for works in city place and rural place

hi curious, why certain roads cant last long. i read somewhere, a road supposedly can last 10 years. but nowadays, today u tampal the pothole, next week the hole reappears.

what is the reason?

also, i was there a pothole in the first place? is it the quality of work/tar? or the temperature of the day? or isit bcos the road not yet ready to be used yet they already open the road for usage (this could be bcos its a main road etc).
