Are you a Civil Engineer, Architect or Quantity Surveyor looking for the Best TMT Iron Rods for your Building and Constructions. I thought to share with you guys that Tiger TMT is the best brand. Read below to Find out why

Make TIGER TMT your first choice
As a professional builder, you should not just choose any TMT brand; make TIGER TMT your best choice. Tiger TMT iron rods are high quality ribbed bars for superior bonding with concrete. They are produced with yield strength higher than British standards.

You can use TIGER TMT iron rods in:
general purpose concrete reinforcement structures;
thermal and hydel power plants
high-rises
dams
bridges
houses
other critical structures
Why you should make TIGER TMT your first choice
Solid Bonding
TIGER TMT is manufactured with the most advanced laser cutting technology and precise, uniform and parallel rib pattern engraved through computer controlled notch making machines. These guarantee perfect bonding with concrete and ensure peace of mind for you.

High Temperature Resistance
The chemical and physical properties ensure that the rods withstand temperature.

Strength Guaranteed
The process control at each critical operation ensures uniform properties in each iron rod and provides with a soft ferrite and pearlite fine grained core, a strong and tough tempered marten site layer imparting it with strength thus making it ideal for high rises, dams, bridges and any critical structures where high yield strength is required without compromising on the elongation properties.

High Resistance to Earthquakes
The chemical and physical properties also ensure the rods withstand all earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Better ductility and Malleability
TIGER TMT iron rod has high bendability and is easily shaped.

Excellent Weldability
TIGER TMT iron rod also has excellent weldability without loss of strength at welded joints.

Greater Corrosion Resistance
TIGER TMT has greater corrosion resistance due to low carbon content making it superior in quality.

I think its time we sit tighter on these bills issue.
The dubious bills for materials and workmanship people get from their subcontractors and post here is getting more alarming.
Here is my own piece of advice as an Architect.
1. Make sure your building design is done by an Architect.
2. Consult a quantity surveyor too so as to provide a bill of quantity for you, this will serve as a guide for you towards spending during the building construction.
There are professionals out there to help us from inception.

OAk Group wishes you the best in your projects.
Don't forget to contact us for your architectural designs and building constructional works.

To get the amount of blocks you will need to use, first have it at the back of your mind that; 1sqm is 10 blocks.
Now, as the headroom will be 3meter, just take each functional spaces one after the other, multiply the height(3m) by the length of each spaces side by side, after getting, write all the figures down and add everything together. Take all windows too(multiply the height by the length) one after the other, then add it up.
Finally, subtract the windows figure from the functional space figure whatever figure you have multiply it by 10, that will give you the number of blocks needed.
Note: add like 5-10% of the blocks, in case of waste.



Meanwhile, I sell and install; electric fence-wire, barb wire, razor wire, panel mesh, e.t.c. pls check my signature for my contact and recommendation, thanks in anticipation

Well said my brother. I have done all I could but she has seen her friends houses with such elevations and she liked them. As for me, I will go ahead with all flat/level living room/dining room arrangement. I am the man! grin

You made a point with master bedroom been upstairs. My master bedroom and visitors bedroom downstairs are of equal standards with large windows and closet.

When old age beckons, the visitors room will become my masters grin

The Visitors room will also serve as a place of rest for me or where I could spend calm moments for myself. That's how I planned it. It is not just a normal visitors room, it is a multi-purpose room downstairs with mini library.
From the kitchen, you enter the visitors room straight. She expressed reservation why guests should first pass through her kitchen side to their room, but I had old age in mind when I did the design.

At old age, the kitchen and the person's sleeping room becomes the most important parts of the building to the aged.

For any visitor to stay in that visitors room, you must merit it. Not any how person. grin

WITH REFRENCE TO THE BOLDED.

I do agree with your wife on the bolded.
Visitors should NEVER pass through the kitchen, to access their rooms.
I understand that you have 'old age' in mind but please, consider your immediate safety and security first and foremost.
It is someone who is alive TODAY, that can plan for TOMORROW or old Age.
There are places visitors should never have access to in one's house:
Your Master-Bedroom and Your Kitchen because those two places are your weakest point, either for what is most personal to you (documents, monetary valuables, even your wife! grin ) and where you make your food.

Not all Visitors will have good intentions for you and if they have to walk through the Kitchen to access their room, you have given them the right to "drop some poison" in your family food!
As a matter of fact, Visitors are never allowed in the Kitchen, if they want food, you prepare and give them (except where they have a self-contained area).
Remember, the most difficult ailement to cure is that caused by the food we put into our own mouth.
God forbid if one of those "na my family Village people" come to visit their son who just arrived from America and they see where you are living and one of them is like: His father did x,y,z to me in 1913 and decides its time for payback! E don red be that. undecided grin
I am speaking from 'non-personal' experience.

Please, quikly re-arrange the entrance to the visitors room so it does not pass through the kitchen, when the time comes, you can open it up again to link the kitchen, it wont cost you much money or effort but righ tnow, it is not a priority, at least not over your family's safety.

Well done.
