eh anyone know the lightweight precast concrete one ar?
mostly i see is used as coping at windows, with cantilevered about 150-200mm
is there any such product that is similar, but can cantilever up to 3-4 ft?
i need to put overhang on window, but i really dislike to put the polycarbonate awning bekos it looks awful.
so im thinking to use lightweight concrete instead.. idea bernas or not?
cost-wise, izit expense? any rough figure per foot run?

iwubpreve?

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 thumbup.gif 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

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.

what's a horizontal pillar? hmm.gif

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

that pillar hide in wall already since it's corner?

i think the pillar/column is 1'x1', whereas the wall is 150mm, so maybe got half foot exposed column at the corner.
if you can "unsee" the beam drawn, can imagine there's a 'kink' at the corner

and i heard some ppl in the industry claiming that the ladies engineers at the site are always discriminated given little to no respect by the foreign workers. May i know how true is that?
*
pretty much true
i know a lady site engineer facing the same exact problem
i think for a lady to work on site she just needs to be more garang/tegas/knowledgeable and just prove herself. it really not easy,.. but good things will come
