Why are subcontractors so terrible? Why mrt keep accident. Why locals dowan to work in construction?

How much 1 kilo simen?

The packing is 50kg? Do they come in smaller packing? Maybe 10kg, so when can put in car boot and haul back home. (For DIY home improvement project).

Not all subcon are bad.

Not only MRT, almost all construction sites got accident occurred, for MRT such huge project just 3-4 cases considered very less d. Other small project maybe ur current house got pipu died during construction period u also dont know.

Cuz will old faster and low pay. Just like Singapore construction always got vacancy for Malaysian or Indonesian engineer. Because Singaporean want work inside office.
FYI for project like MRT, people in mmc gamuda who doing all these paper work is very high paid

Why no hot girls working as labourer in construction industry?!

fuel hike is impact on everything. this is called domino effect. however, in order to be competitive in construction industry, u have to bid the lowest u could. however please take note that this only apply on transparent bidding process, if u know what I mean

I used to do civil work. lady QS and engineer seen before la... but I wondering about female general worker la

if u work as contractor, what u have to do is very simple, just be genuine and do what is right. this is because contractor just a middle person, u are in between client and supplier.

what u have to do is to get few supplier to get the specific item u want, what grade. and tell them u also get other to quote the same thing. so they will felt pressure and quote u according to market price.

eg. let say got a project demand conquas standard (mean very high quality when come to standard), and u ask a subcon to quote u for let's say plastering work. usually they will tell u "hi mr. contractor, I will give u 2 rate, 1 is conquas rate 1 is normal rate". just reply to them, "hey mr. subcontractor, just quote according to the project specification. i'll get other to do the same thing" so they will felt threaten a bit coz they can't quote high if they want to get the job.

so u just have to get few cost comparison and the market price will surface to u.

true story

Really? How come sabah only rm17? When everything is more expensive here?

I buy one bag also that price wor

Yes, my company got a project with Japanese contractor, they are really discipline and put safety as their first priority, but definitely not mrt project

should I build 2nd storey for my house? to build 2nd storey is expensive 2x cost of the 1st floor? how can I renovate my house with cheapest rate? I still have 180sqf free at the back of my house(for bedroom and kitchen) and plan to have 2nd storey too for dry the clothes. should I build 2nd storey?

2nd storey overrated?

why suppliers have more profit than the producers? producers only 20% net margin whereas suppliers can profit 30%

If underpinning work and enlarging the columns at below level are sufficient to cater for the load at upper floor, I believe its not necessary to demolish and rebuilt the whole structure.

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.

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