hmmmm... application ng sahara and membrane ang nagkaproblema

do tiles installation will help the waterproofing problem using abc/mortar bond/portland cement combi as grout? kasi yung unang sahara seems to work only after few years, ngayon meron ng seepage galing sa roof deck ko.

sir ano ba magandang brand para sa sliding window? magkano na ba per/sq? thanks

**van_wilder** · August 10th, 2006 10:52 AM

we use bradnams... masmahal siya kasi imported pero kapag kinompare mo ang layo ng difference...

hindi kaya sa buhos ng roofdeck ang problema?

thanks.. very helpful info... will include this on my compilation..

another Q..
kung patatambakan ko ng 1m yung 600sqm lot, ilan load kailangan at magkano per truckload.. (ilan cubic meter ba sa isang load)

tips ko sa iyo...

-first conduct a site visit of the past projects done by the contractor, here you should meet the owners of the houses, because malalaman mo kung may reklamo. kung ayaw ng contractor that would already tell you something... ibig sabihin nagtatago...

-it would be better kung sanay na siya sa bahay, kasi kung hindi mahihirapan siya since bahay ang pinakamabusisi na gawin

-dont go for contractors who would recommend cheap materials 'para makatipid ka' usually these contractors ay babaratin ang materials para lumaki ang margin nila, dont go for contractors who are obviously trying to secure their profit... kung magkagipitan iiwan ka niyan...

-ask for building permit and all necessary permits, kahit sino pang demonyo ang contact nyan contractor mo sa city hall kung wala kang permit mahihirapan ka for basic utilities... we have lots of govt contacts but we never failed to acquire permits since magiging problem yun ng client in the future

-ask for the brand of materials to be used (kung roof tiles CPAC monier lang ang gamitin, kung sliding windows bradnams, medyo masmahal pero you'll see the difference)

-ask what tiles ang gagamitin, anong roofing, anong paint, etc...

-use phelp dodge sa electrical wires, para even yun kuryente, siyempre ayaw mo magkaroon ng malakas na kuryente on one side and walang kuryente on the other side

-sa painting use only boysen and have their marketing staff train your painters before painting (free of charge yun) or else faded yan pintura mo after 3months... primer and top coat dapat boysen... kung sinabi niya na pwede naman ibang brand sa primer, hindi marunong yun... dapat sa pintura yun primer ang masmaganda kasi yun ang foundation, kung pangit ang brand ng primer magtutuklap yan...

-after palitada dapat 14 days hindi gagalawin at sulatang ng chalk kung kelan yun last palitada kung may tiniktik at hinabol wag muna pinturahan yun part na yun wait for 14 days or magspot spot ang pintura mo after a year...

-make sure na may DATA, TELEPHONE, and CABLE connection ang buong bahay kahit hindi mo ito gagamitin agad, dapat naka-abang na... required na yun ngayon...

sa materials, maliit lang ang difference and contractor ang nag-aabsorb nun. after years in construction ito ang breakdown ng construction per year 1stQ - 24% 2ndQ - 27% 3rdQ - 22% 4thQ - 26% no difference masyado kaya dont worry about the price changes...

ang pinaka-importante, dapat may FIELD PERSONNEL or ARCHITECT/ENGINEER ON-SITE, hindi yun bumibisita lang everyday, yun nandoon buong maghapon, kahit yun contractor pa ang engineer/architect dapat may tao rin siya on-site hindi lang yun foreman... magkakaproblema yan kapag wala... dapat may bodegero din para may responsible sa mga materials or magkakanakawan yan...

last, ask for 1 year warranty and ask for after-sales service, where can you contact them, ask for their mobile number, website, email address, telephone number, and address... make sure nakadaan ka na sa office or house man lang nila para alam mo kung saan sila pwede habulin...

dun sa mga brands na recommend ko (especially phelp dodge) yan ang ginagamit namin kahit lumiliit ang profit namin ang amin lang is, dapat masaya and walang problema ang owners ng bahay (or even ang govt) alam namin na pinaghihirapan ang pera, so dapat the client should never ever feel shortchanged or dissatisfied...

if you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask me... il be very happy to answer it and help my fellow tsikoteers...

meron ba nagamit ng "plastic" sa waterproofing??? may nakita kasi ako nilalatagan nila ng plastic pag naka tapos ng parang asphalt na naka rolyo di ko alam tawag don..tinanong ko yung gumagawa Ok daw yon. Totoo ba yon na malaking tulong yung plastic.. normal lang sya na plastic naka rolyo din.

**van_wilder** · August 10th, 2006 07:47 PM

hindi siya plastic... rubber yun... yun yung rubberized asphalt...
