what material?

good question.

loss and expenses (LE) is a sensitive issue. will offend client no doubt

in order to claim loss and expenses, u have to demonstrate ur entitlement of EOT. to do that u need to have the original baseline (original master programme). then u have to revise the programme by incorporate ur entitlement of EOT inside. by do that ur baseline become baseline 2 (example). then u have to justify ur expenses but putting in the expenses into that period.

example:
1. original rent 5 month of tower crane, now 7 months, u get 2 months.
2. original u pay wages to ur stuff 7 months, now 5 months

bear in mind not all is straight away stuff.

there are few dalays,
culpable delay - contractor fault and therefore not entitle for LE nor EOT
concurrent delay - both contractor and employer contribute to the delay, hence EOT entitle LE not entitle
non culpable delay - employer/architect fault and contractor entitle both EOT and LE

1)
u have to justify the programme first. example I demonstrate u the original baseline and revised baseline after 5 month of Extension of Time granted. base on the chart, u entitle 5 months and time, and ur LE have to base on the affected loss and expenses that direct related to the EOT that granted. Example, u granted 5 months EOT, however tower crane just require extra 3 months only and hence u entitle to claim 3 months renting cost of tower crane. however because ur project team still run until the end, so u entitle 5 months wages for ur project team. hence it's not everything automatically get 5 months.

depend on agreement, some contract impose a clause whereby on when come to loss and expense claim, u need to show the actual record (those actual receipt to show that u really spent this amount)

2)
what claim u mean? I don't get u.

3)
L&E is definitely entitle. however as I mention early, this is sensitive issue and client never like this. even contract prohibit u from claiming L&E, some contract impose the clause whereby loss and expense is not allow, however when come to construction work, those changes instructed by client is a variation and in some form, varying the original contract also is a "breach of contract" and remedy automatically come in which is in the form of L&E. not easy thing as a lot of justification require if u want to claim that much.

precious quarry have? stone block also is quarry to me. can chop the stone block into precious marble / granite

should be fine. a lot of subcon willing to hire u as site supervisor is really a job without much qualification. work under the hot sun mang.

tower crane will climb itself as the building progress reach higher level by adding the mast. after complete, it will lower down itself also by dissemble the mast part by part as it lowering down. in here, most common tower crane we used is hammerhead and luffing crane.

think the video speak louder

1)
best developer? I think buy property see ur budget since the property price is very much related to its location. in my opinion, those developer that doesn't squeeze the contractor to the max is the best 1. as the contractor get what he want and he build what the developer want. if the developer squeeze all the single cents from the contractor and contractor have no choice but to reduce the quality to comply to the cost. but since u asked, in my opinion the good developer are Selangor Dredging, Symphony Life, UM Land.

2)
Engineer is consulting engineer where they design the building to suit to requirement of architecture and infrastructure of building.

3)
safety net.

attend a course conducted by niosh. u need to have green book to call urself as certified competent safety officer.

can't reveal abt my identity

different measure will be taken depend on how severe the water leaking are and what kind of exposure of the surface. normally, they will just do pressure grout injection at the water leaking zone with each point for injection is very close to each other in order to fill in the water capillary within the slab.

container house seems like a trend now to be honest I have no idea what are the jurisdiction out there whether container to be undergo the same process like building a house.

yes, but no wet area would be around lift core. so it shouldn't have any water leaking issue la. which also mean they will not consider any water proofing work at there.

poor concrete quality will result those honeycomb and etc but not likely cold joint. usually they will have quality control over concrete. when concrete truck arrive, they will do the slump test on the spot, if acceptable then only start to pour the concrete. cold joint arise because of no good treatment on the joint prior casting la. eg. such as bonding of hardened concrete and new concrete, proper reinforcement.

because u didn't ask for more. if u capable, a lot of people willing to hire u 1. perhaps ur employer willing to keep u from jumping ship by counter offer if u can make money for company. plus now shortage of manpower, can demand even more for QS I think. after all, QS is directly dealing with figure, hence ur salary will be higher as the figure is always the thing ur boss wanted to know. ur boss will very likely always in touch v u.

starting is like that 1 la. need to gai a bit 1. too many took up QS course. in TAR college, course with most student is Accouting, second is QS.

175/sqft. do your maths.

depend la. a good QS usually will not work as QS la. more on management. QS oversee a lot of thing. after all, construction is about money. everything related to money.

ic. can let me know ur property price and the total build up area? different tier need to have different measure when come to inspect the house

oic, about RM570 per sqft. seems like a 2nd tier property in klang valley so can't be fussy as if it's 1st tier quality la

just check about the functionality of those thing ok already. ironmongery is work, the key is correct, the qty of power points is as per agreement, check the wall facing outside 1 whether it's humid to ensure no water seeping through especially windows edge, check the toilet floor by pour a lot of water on the floor to see if the water will flow to the floor trap. sometimes the floor tile they didn't make it a fall, to let the water flow to floor trap, check the floor/wall tile if it already broken as sometimes after completed the work, the other trade by damage it. check timber floor also if u have that as timber floor is fragile especially contact v water. it will bulging when contact with water.

basically is like that. if first tier, there were a lot of thing have to taken care of

depend what are the wall u want. gymsum board, brickwall, etc. gymsum board is pretty cheap nowadays. since ur qty is small, should be within 1.5k.

depend how big u want la. assume 900 - 1000 sqft per storey. standard.
