QUOTE(ycs @ Feb 2 2015, 02:48 PM) must electrical wires be always in plastic conduits if embedded inside walls? i want to install extra point from my pillar light point to other spots along same wall, so thinking to just run thicker wires on top edge and then brick/plaster it up My contractor told me if you just have bare wires in the walls and plaster it up. In case anything happens and you need to replace those wires, do you want to hack the wall? |

QUOTE(watever77 @ Jan 8 2015, 12:18 PM) 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 1. depend how contractor value the thing. first u need to identify the duration, then the area. so your cost to do would be duration x daily rental (including operator). then divided into area and plus some buffer and profit & attendance. anyway, need to be bid accurately as u don't wish your work have no volume. 2. yeap, logistic would be contributed to those cost. |

QUOTE(zaFrOoNaLdO @ Jan 8 2015, 05:06 PM) 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). mostly is quality / workmanship. prior laying premix (to u is tar road la) they need to have a compacted ground. usually they will compact it by laying crusher run. when not well compact and got porous within the crusher run, then crack / pothole will occur in time. below is the section of premix (also known as tar road in ur understanding)  |

QUOTE(epsonstylux @ Jan 10 2015, 09:37 AM) Why some tar road at our highways looks very wet and slippery? But on other tar road eg:new nkve from klang to subang rven when it rains, the tar doesnt look wet and dont really have water splashing up into the air But ive been driving at vietnam our road condition much better  usually those tar road will form a slope (very low degree of slope) so the water will flow to side and discharge to scupper drain. yeap, ours much better because of we have plenty of resources. |

QUOTE(Jacho @ Jan 12 2015, 11:09 AM) Hi Bro, my name is Jacho. Im in construction industry in Singapore. Got intention to start something here in Malaysia. Cause now in SG, levies and all labour cost went up quite a lot.... may I ask... 1) How is the construction industries over there in My? 2) labour issue easy to solve ? 3) payment issue easy to collect or there ? Im more into prefab housing like construction site office usually in white n blue color. Or building up workers dormitory.. I think you likely to see b4. I think demands are picking up over there... Ultimately is the sales and collection part that Im worrying.. Care to advise ? in Malaysia, we have cost competition. u may offer good price but usually lowest bidder will get the job. of course quality is an issue however nobody will know the quality unless u are a very reputable contractor. usually those are selective tendering. payment issue is really depend la, if client don't wanna honour what can u do? legal proceeding and wasting legal fee nia. it's a risk to work as contractor here in fact unless u really have strong financing power and have strong legal knowledge. |

Thanks structural work > architectural work & M&E work > get local authority for inspection > local authority will give their comment and input on what to rectify prior handing over to them aka TNB > rectify and get inspection passed |

QUOTE(davkong @ Jan 13 2015, 04:50 PM) What do you think about CIDB SCORE's STAR rating? Is it an accurate representation of a company's performance? In your opinion, which is the best local construction company at the moment (in terms of financial performance, management capability, technical capability, etc.)? construction company ar, a lot are good in financing power. but a lot of them also reluctant to get private job and hence lot contractor buy their own land and develop themselve. like IJM used to be a contractor. now they have IJM land. a lot of developer have their own construction team and hence they don't need contractor. like Ireka, YNH, UOA and etc. but of course when they wanna build those specialized building, they need specialized contractor. those usually are japanese / korean company who have the guys / knowledge to build. |
