Construction is worst....be prepared work long hours with Sat and Sun. no OT. And out in the sun.

currently i dont work under the sun whole day. more in site office doing QS work and monitoring workers. but true long working hours and saturday work full day too. sunday off.

you should also telling him the flexibility of site office hour, lunch and dinner treats by sub cons and suppliers, happy hours treats, happy ending massage, Spa rejuvenate, KTV, allowance from sub con and supplier , profit sharing from selling "scraps", OT allowance and etc.

of all you have mentioned, i only have slight flexibility of site office hours, other than that, nope. my site cannot work OT, residences nearby will report.

Mech engineer, 5 years experience, pay rm42k a year, is that a lot lower than civil engineer with similar 5 years experience?

Different people different priorities. But to me not interested in this...even if I am, not worth it. Better get a work life balance.

how much does it cost to make a swimming pool
about 1.6m deep, 12m long 6m wide?
plus the generator, filter mechanism and others
Quote me the cheapest price to highest?

its a culture, either u in or u out. No like, u work ur own

Boy, I pm you later

What is the difference between contract manager & project manager?
Contract executive and QS? Safety officer and safety coordinator?

How to become safety officers?
How to get the license?
Any requirement needed?

I might be wrong

contract executive, someone who do not have surveyor license but work as Q's

Qs, licensed but normally work as consultant hire or appointed by client to make sure contract within budget

Contract manager and project manager? The pose manager say it all. Team or department head

Safety coordinator are attached to contract firm? Officer are like qs appointed by client?

Do you have company that need KDN approval for construction workers? Foreign workers

my try, might be wrong

1. Contract Mngr = handle contract
2. Project Mngr = handle project

3. Contract Exec = assistant of Contract Mngr on Contract
4. QS = BoQ works, tender exercise

5. Safety officer = 1 with certification from OSHA to conduct safety at site
6. Safety coordinator = assistant of safety officer, might be with cert with no experiance / less senior

my try, rough estimate.

1000km = JB to Kelantan ???

at least RM10million lolz

long distance use single mode optical fibre.

but 1000km is way too long so im not sure is it using single mode or god mode optical fibre

say 1M run = RM10

1km = 1000m = RM10,000

1000km = RM10,000,000

price for cable RM10mil, exclude temp works, trench excavations, labor, make good, application to different state local authority, fibre patch panel, mdf substation, distributor, and many more.

for configuration i duno lolz, 1000km the signal lost too much than the threshold level or must use different jointing method ?

so my guess RM20mil to lay 1000km fibre ?

My subcon did not follow install 2 out of the 3 doors as shown in the photo, saying they were very rush for other job and couldnt get enough lintel at that time.
When or above what height does a lintel be required to be installed? What are the consequences if a lintel is not install like the photo shown?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Pre cast lintel are 4"X4'
OR can be cast to any size by contractor.
Mild steel or rebar can replace if the wall above wall are minimal.

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
