Walins: 1) Where are you located so I know what Architect I can refer you to 2) Get your survey ready 3) Don't be like me. Make sure that your Architect goes to your site and see the land before drawing a plan. |

jadell: Square or Round pipe. Location varies with price. Try getting another quote from a different fabricator/welder. If you're so interested in using the guy you can bargain within the range of #280-#350k. |

Walins: It all depends on your location and if you intend getting a complete drawing with stamp/seal to be forwarded for approval from the relevant government authority (ies). Get a survey plan. .......done by a Land Surveyor Get an Architect to design what you want. Engage a Civil Engineer/Building Technologist/Qualified Builder-Artisan on the ground works. Or you can DIY 1 Like |

bixton: Square pipe. He was the one that did my gate and told him i was ready to pay 320k. He said people might be willing to do it a cheaper rate but how can I be sure of the thickness of the materials they will use. Thanks I really appreciate. 1 Like |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 7:19pm On Apr 12, 2018 |
jadell: He's telling the truth. For pipes, you have both external diameter and internal diameter. The thicker the pipe, the stronger, the heavier and more expensive it is. A potential shyster method might be to quote you using the stronger and more expensive pipes but then manufacturer using the cheaper materials. You can also supply your own pipe if you so choose. I never did but I could because the place where I buy my rebar also sells pipes. |
