Rany4all:In the case of overhead tank, the pressure difference is negligible... His point is.... The negligibity of the pressure difference does not worth the Extra height/money. |

Good practice. Which reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask since... Do contractors (builders, POP, painters, welders etc.) get expressed permission from clients before posting pictures of their projects here or on other online platforms generally? I know it is a good advert tool to showcase their work, just wondering if folks even bother to discuss it. considering the client may or may not even be on this forum. erico2k2: |

I think you already know/have your answer. If the labor was quoted as per sqm, then you should be paying per sqm of what was laid just like you'll do for tiles. You should focus on how he can measure by himself, like suggest another artisan (tiler/PoP/painter) that may be on site to help him measure. or he should invite someone he trusts. You need to make sure he's convinced you're not cheating him. cheers Rany4all: 2 Likes |

bobkezel:It may be negligible to some, but not to others. That is an entirely subjective matter, and should be left to the client to decide. Haven personally experienced both scenarios, for me it is worth every extra penny. 3 Likes |

Please can someone assist in reviewing the attached quotation for electrical piping of a 4 bedroom bungalow? Thanks in advance. PS: Most of the 20mm bendable pipes were put in place before casting lintel and roofing beams. What is left is mostly extensions for the socket pipes and a few other fresh additions.

twinskenny:I also expressed my reservations about the number of 3x3 box, but he insisted he would use all and that I could count them after he's done. As for the ABB board, how can one tell the original from the fake? Thanks. |

megacontrol: Posting or not posting picture is a matter of professionalism and courtesy. Nobody can stop you from posting any picture that is PLAIN VIEW SIGHT of the public. Inside your house is definitely not in plain view sight of the public. You can find pictures of any house in the US on google map. Even the inside pictures of most houses can be found on Zillow, they woould not be doing it if it was not permitted 2 Likes |

erico2k2: Not true. Those are just wishes not rights. You can take photos of any plain view sight accessible to the public and share it. It is freedom of expression, a fundamental human right. You don't have the right of privacy on those pictures people can take without trespassing on your property 1 Like 1 Share |

yemi2plus:more reason for drawing is get the accurate leght, breath and volume so as to give an accurate extimate. Of course they don't encourage drawings so they can easily rip off the client. Without the structural drawing how do I know what areas the beam passes through because I can't assume when I don't know what's on your Engineers mind. |

michlins:Your point is valid for in as much as you establish a difference in Head, even 1inch, flow will occur until the last drop. However in a multi-apartment building sharing a single water source, there is need to increase the Head even as much as 3m above the roof. The water reticulation design should determine the height. This is done to compensate for loss of pressure when occupants of lower floors open their tap and you experience that apartments above drop in flowrate or even stop flowing totally. So the higher your tank, the higher the pressure, but you need to also appreciate the fact that the higher your tank stand, the more it is prone to collapse. At certain heights you are required to consider Wind loading. So in this part of the world where we do a lot of copy and paste, assume you use same member sizes for a tank stand whose height fell just short of wind loading consideration to build yours with extra 5m height for adequate pressure? Summary, you can't practice construction without adequate professional inputs which are backed with engineering design. 3 Likes |

yemi2plus:Your artisan, Not your Engineer. Even a pupil Engineer knows that a building drawing is not complete without Architectural, structural, plumbing and electrical. The only difference is that for a bungalow you may not require a Registered Engineer Seal and Building Approval. Please your Artisans need complete set of drawings at site at all times. That's the only way you the owner can hold them accountable. |
