You trying to say call me random is having mood swings?

I'm konpuised.

prime example of doing things for the sake of doing things
looks like a death trap. looking forward to hearing someone died inside one of these

lol

Land not free. Kontena vs bricks on a similar footprint the cost won't be much different.

Plus it should be impossible to get approval from authorities left and right. TNB will probably not approve, water also difficult and don't forget majlis perbandaran's rules on structural integrity. Impossible la bro.

Primarily it is the easy in known structural integrity and movability I guess. Plus build time would be far less than an equivalent brick and mortar house.

I live in these things when I'm at work. We call them "Dongas". The primary concern when it comes to these structures is that them being metal, there is a "touch potential" hazard when it comes to electricity, but it is nothing that a competent engineer could not compensate for with a few good GND stakes and welded tails.

now that's something new

TS, u should consider naming your humble loft "The Donga"

it sounds so exclusive just like The Datai at Langkawai

what did u see? fast fast, describe!

kolek

i dunno la.. she said she got size 9 feet...

if you extrapolate what they say about guys feet and the size of their..

..so perhaps girls...also..

i do think most girls do... just a matter of serious or mild case being shown...

really?

Honestly, IMO you could have opt for a wooden hut, the same size of tat container.

or bricks even.

Shouldn't cost that much, have you tried asking?

ayam listening...

at least need 5,000 for sound proofing

sigh. if you were to type back the first paragraph into google you'd know where it's from. the quality of kopitiam replies, i'm not expecting anything less.
it's from electronic journal of geotechnical engineering, written by a senior lecturer from civil engineering department, uitm, one assoc. prof and one full prof from usm engineering campus, civil engineering faculty. that prof is a P.E. in civil eng.

but sure, maybe you've written lots of theses-es to know which is taken from an undergrad. on the findings, i leave it to kopitiam experts to download and read the paper and derive their own conclusion.

i posted the abstract to point out the first 2 line where it's a well known phenomenon, common, and it's also researched and reported in malaysia.
as much as i would like to trust some random stranger posting in some randon internet forum, i dont'. at least the paper is written by someone with credible background.

im not going to type back the first paragraph into google.
but but u could hv quoted the sauce u know? /k rule of thumb?

doesnt matter u donwan to trust me, just sharing my thoughts only
engineering after all deals with all kind of assumptions, and very much site specific, we dunno ur site condition, we can only assume, can be off also..

not if it's could be declared as temporary structure. if it's not directly welded to the ground, can be moved, it's not permanent structure. refer your local laws. temporary structure have less red tape to them compared to permanent construction.

it's a land lot, with proper paper.
TNB and water probably no problem. we managed to get water and electricity supply to a wooden guard house, built at the side of the road on stilts, declared under temporary structure and the local council doesn't bug us. they're the ones that advised us how to avoid the red tape.

Registering it under a temporary structure will solve some of the red tape issues but we need to remind ourselves that the purpose of this project is to create homes that people would live in as a replacement for the traditional houses that are deemed to be unaffordable these days.

As the name would imply, a temporary structure is afterall, temporary. Unless there are loopholes that allow these structures to remain indefinitely or with reasonable timeframs (5 years or so), it is hard to see anyone actually investing in these as their home.

A rental-based business model might solve this issue but again you'll have to charge below the standard rate for traditional apartments/flats and still be able to profit even with the possible relocation costs.

dude

the problem is because this thing made fully metal

corrosion,electrocution,hot

as long this building properly sealed and got air conditioning itll be good
i used to live one week during bad weather no problem

yeah...mine at workplace got many bonding cable
lightning struck occurred one..got one big hole at the top
but i feel nothing lol
properly grounded i say
