i think it is more of a lifestyle thing than a cost saving thing.
the one in the video which i like seems wouldn't be cheap.
but i know generally there are people buildig cheap houses using containers but those are ground level and not so complicated, right?

Hi TS, i have issues with my consultants lately and they just issued release letter when the construction is near completion, ie. 95%. Now they refuse to answer any calls, emails, SMS/whatsapp, fail to appear on meetings we set up, just disappear completely.

Previously, over promising to do this and that, and all were not done, checked with MPK on the submission of drawings, last submission is 2013 (seriously outdated), borang F, G etc. were not submitted as well. No proper handover of any kind were done.

Possible to advise further what can i do about this?

The worst case, take it to the court

How long does it take to re-glaze a window?
How long does it take to replace a window?

fastest would be imperia college. 1 year for QS degree course (without honours). top up 1 and half year more u have honours degree

developer is more like a businessman. imagine they have RM10,000,000 property they hold, and they don't mind hold it for 10 years and earn the difference in pricing 10 years later which is RM15,000,000 worth that time, that's mean they invest RM10mil for 50% over 10 year or fixed 5% a year. if that is enough then ma do this la. but trust me sell the property and develop is even more profit than this 5% average. so developer want earn more? sell early and do bigger development.

any experiences with BAAGUS? other than expensive, any others?

bear in mind container itself is just a build without foundation

so in order to complete this "container house", u must first complete the substructure work, a platform whereby the container can sit firmly.

just like normal house, before we start the building above ground level, have to ensure the foundation is sufficient for the house. but of course there are many different of foundation can be achieve. some perhaps movable. definitely a lot of work to be done. to makesure that this container is safe, u need to have a professional engineer to endorse it is safe. only when got all these PE endorsement, local authority only will consider giving clearance if u want thing to be done legally.

overall it won't be really cost saving if u want this to be done correctly. even it might save the cost, it will still bother u as so much of thing to be maintain.

what is ur position right now?

Developer > Consultant > Main Contractor > Subcontractor

remove windows and take measurement of glass 1 day
cut the glass in factory 1 day
fix the glass at te house 1 day

3 days.

competent contractor within 1 day, morning measure the glass on site, call factory to fabricate the given size and deliver on afternoon, fix on evening done.

im the owner

ic. did u find out the reason? sometimes is because contractor didn't comply some requirement.

They did not reply to our inquiry so we have no idea what is the exact reason at the moment.

ic. well maybe u cut their fee too much so they not bother to reply u?

if those are consultant firm that taking a lot of project they will probably have no time to bother u if other project is on fire. usually will have meeting in weekly basis? CCM client consultant meeting

Their pay is definitely higher than any other consultants out there, and we paid them 95% already for things that they haven't even done.

I have no idea whether they have any other project on fire, it does not concern me, what my concern is my own house/matter which they failed to do a proper job at the moment. If they cannot handled the situtation, they should at least provide a feedback and have a proper handover instead of just disappearing?

We do setup weekly meetings before this but it is them who always fail to appear on the dates set. What do you mean by CCM client consultant meeting?

Hw is construction (foundation) market now?

from the video i shared it looks as if the bottom floor which is the foundation is also an indoor garage

hmm. how do I describe, the element of building work called substructure work. imagine u want to build on the slope side, do u think u can just put the entire container like the bottom part of video, definitely cannot right?

so say we put it in the flat ground, how do u be sure that the ground won't settle? to be sure u need to get a professional engineer to certify it is safe. civil engineer (PE) carry liability for lifetime and to be sure it's safe and comply to their professionalism, they will introduce the solid foundation. at least a simple footing require below ground at the 4 corner point of container. container will transfer the load to that footing.

i think u dunno what i mean....

lemme explain again base on the video
