non load bearing? yeah it have, but non load bearing type. mean can't let people or load stand on the 4ft coping. cost wise is cheap if light weight concrete u mean. actually the so called light weight concrete mostly is hollow concrete therefore is light.

orait thanks good to know that
izit require supplier's contractor to install or any contractor can do it?

yup non load bearing.. instead of awning, i want it to look like a slab. just dont step on it lah
i've seen a section of the light weight concrete, inside got polystyrene. just dunno where to find it

hmm, hardware shop have? but those polyfoam type, it look like concrete also because cement cover it what? pretty easy to install if u know how to fix ikea wall rack

usually u no need to make connection to all kongsikong..u just take control kepala/supervisor .do not give order to them,just instruct their kepala what to do

Hi,what can you tell about career prospect for civil engineering technology.i know this engineering technology still new in malaysia but not for europe.

TS, currently my balcony is empty without any fencing...i plan to cement the balcony floor, then put up a simple glass fence around it..

how much this should costs usually? size around 2.5 cars side by side width...

and will this case water to seep into cement underneath? Coz below is plaster ceiling...

hi sifu

want to ask

is it common practice for the clerk of work to sign DO?

in this case its DO for rebar/brc

but i would like to know generally should they sign for DO of any nature

balcony no fencing? so dangerous 1?

what is new? I think if Europe adopt and very effective soon malaysia will adopt it quickly if it's much cost efficient also

got 1 small fencing..but want to extend..

like this example..current one is only this, i wanna extend out to cover whole balcony :

DO sign by main contractor for the purpose of the supplier claim from u. clerk of work sign more on acknowledgement of the rebar had come to site. perhaps that 1 can be used to claim material on site

ic. bro u need to get PE to submit application to local authority. plus the roof slab outside balcony cannot cater sufficient load because original not design for balcony. need to reconstruct according to new design from the professional engineer. 10k to 20k I think total cost

Ahh..need to masok plan la right? okok..got it...

thanks mang..will chck with my ID once i have sufficient money..

thank u si fu for reply

yes

main con ad sign

but now main con also request cow to sign as vertification

generally no issue right ?

no issue. the COW also need to verify the rebar is approved & as accordance to spec. 1. COW should be from structural engineer representative.

U will save more money if ur roof slab (grey slab) is already design to carry loads for daily use since u wanna extend your glass fence. Just need Professional Engineer (PE also known as IR) to approve it and submit.

If it is just aesthetic architectural slab that does not have any structural capacity to carry normal loads, then u have to spend more on breaking the slab down and rebuilding it.

If u have a load carrying column underneath that roof slab and the roof slab cantilever isnt so long, then it is better. May not need to build another column. By looking at ur slab, it looks like it extend out alot from the tile slab.

LOL

But thanks for the nice loads of info..

Hello. Need some advise. I've collected the keys to my new house but I noticed a significant different on the actual layout (with dimension) compare with on S&P - there are more horizontal and vertical pillars in the unit. Think the developer short change me.

how big it vary?

what's a horizontal pillar?

maybe some are structural works that cannot avoid one..
got big difference between s&p and on site?
