Hi,

I would like to have a paid discussion with a COREN-registered Engineer about my building project ASAP.

Can someone help review this design, please?

Hi,

I need an architectural design for a property I am planning to build

***GROUND FLOOR:


1. Visitor’s Toilet
2. Main sitting Lounge
3. Dinning
4. Children’s Lounge
5. 1st Master Bedroom with walk-in closet between bathroom and bedroom (Same size as 1st Master Bedroom)
6. Self-Contained Room for Security Man - This rooms should only be accessible from OUTSIDE the main house but should be part of the main house
7. Self-Contained Room for Maid - This rooms should only be accessible from OUTSIDE the main house but should be part of the main house
8. Kitchen with space for breakfast table
9. Laundry
10. Garage - Accessible from inside the house as well
11. Study
12. Store

***UPSTAIRS


- 4 Ensuite bedrooms, with wardrobes, for Children
- 2nd Master Bedroom with walk-in closet between bathroom and bedroom (Same size as 1st Master Bedroom)
- Family Balcony - accessible from Master Bedroom as well and should be located such that air can pass through it
- Box Room


*****The staircase should be located such that someone could come down and access the Kitchen/Laundry area without being seen by visitor's in the Main Lounge & Dinning. It should also be able to access the staircase and kitchen & laundry area without being seen by visitors in the Main Lounge & Dinning.

Regarding (3) & (4) I have been told that 4 by 2 is for "beams and distribution" and the water tanks would be resting on the "greetings".

Thanks for your response.

Yes, I know I'd need Base Plate, Foundation Bolt and Nut too. I was given those requirements as follows:

1. 16mm Rod
2. 25m Rod/Bolt
3. Base Plate
4. Supporting Plate

Most importantly, I would like to know whether or not the specs below are too high or too low considering the load of 3 - 3,000 litres tank that the tower would carry.

1.) 4 Lengths of H Beam - 152 by 152(40ft)
2.) 3 Lengths of H Beam - 127 by 76 (18ft)
3.) 5 Lengths of 4 by 2 (18ft)
4.) 1 sheet of Greeting
5.) 24 Lengths of Angle Iron

I have asked for clarification on (3) & (4) that you highlighted.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I need to build a 40 ft Water Tank Tower and I intend to have 3 tanks - 1 tank for each floor of a 2-storey building.
Each tank would have a capacity of 3,000 Litres. It has been recommended that I should use the following materials

1.) 4 Lengths of H Beam - 152 by 152 (40ft)
2.) 3 Lengths of H Beam - 127 by 76 (18ft)
3.) 5 Lengths of 4 by 2 (18ft)
4.) 1 sheet of Greeting
5.) 24 Lengths of Angle Iron

I would appreciate your comments.

Thanks for your response.

In the formula, please confirm if you are saying that: Area = (Pi) times (Diameter Squared), all divided by 4?
I have assumed that the above is what you meant but using 8,500 litres as volume, I got the DIAMETER as 2.45 m or 8ft - based on actual measure of smaller tanks found in the market this seems to be wrong.

From what I have seen so far, the height of all the gee pee tank seems to be the same = 5ft 11".
So what I really need is the diameter of the 7,500 or 8500 litres.

Good Morning,

Is there anyone out there who could assist me with the HEIGHT and DIAMETER of a 8,000 Litres GEE PEE Water Tank?

Thank You.

Thank you very much - if I may ask, what data do you use to arrive at those capacities?

Thanks

It is a 2 storey building made up of Six 2-bedroom flats and One 4-bedroom flat as follows:

- Ground Floor: Three 2-bedroom flats
- 1st Floor: Three 2-bedroom flats
- 2nd Floor: One 4-bedroom flat

Hello,

I need to construct a water tank stand for a building with 6 - 2 bedroom flats and 1 - 4 bedroom flat.
The 1 - 4 bedroom flat will have a dedicated tank.

What do you think the daily water usage per flat would be?
How many tanks should I use and what capacity?

I would be grateful for your responses.

I would appreciate the help of experts in the forum.

I need to have an estimate of the cost of installing a PRE-CAST Parapet.
The parapet has already been moulded so I am talking about only the cost of installation which includes attaching the parapet to the roof beam, formwork for casting the beam and cost of casting itself. It would be on the 2ND FLOOR of the a two-storey building.

The dimensions of the building is 24m x 10.8m (260 Sq Metres)

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I need a plumbing drawing for a two storey building. In order to avoid maintenance issues in the future, my intention is to run the pipes externally, and not embed them in the slab and/or walls. If you can produce the drawing please let me know.

Already I have the Electrical Drawing so I don't need that.

If you can do it let me know which drawings you need from me and I'd send it to your e-mail.

Thanks
Anthony

Is there anyone who can or knows someone who can produce a plumbing drawing in 3D?
If you do, please get in touch.

Regards,
Anthony

Please send me the per sq metre price of GERARD SHINGLES (ECLIPSE). My e-mail is: precioustony@yahoo.com
I will contact you later for your local contact to take the actual measurement but based on Architect's drawing it is about 800 Sq Metres.

For plumbing, its both - pipping and plumbing fittings (Do you need the M & E Drawing)?
Ceiling is going to be POP.

If the following is among the things you do as well, please give me a quote:

- Plumbing
- Painting
- Wiring, excluding laying of conduit
- Ceiling works

Please list all other building tasks that you can undertake and i will send you information accordingly.

where are you based and which drawings do you need?

I am currently developing a two-storey building, comprising of 3 - 2 bed room flats (with ensuite toilets) on the ground and 1st floor, and 1 - 4 bed room flat on the 2nd floor. If you interested to quote for plastering and carpentry work please send me your e-mail address.

@Engineerosaz, thanks - yes you are correct - it is a residential premises.
The staircase has not been done yet so I don't have pictures - I decided to raise the concerns now because no provision was made for the starter bar when the german floor was laid.

Maybe what you've said is what he's planning to do - i'd keep my eyes open.

His position is that it is not mandatory to "bury it in the ground" for it to be called a starter.

Am not a builder, but someone is building a property for me.
I sent someone else to inspect as to provide me with an independent assurance - and he reported that no provision was made for starter.
When I discuss this with the builder he told me that it wasn't a mistake, and that he doesn't normally use starter bar in his staircases.

Have done academic research and I can see the reinforcement that a starter bar provides so I doubted him. I feel he made a mistake but doesn't
want to accept. This is why am seeking others' opinion - and you are the third person who agrees that he made a mistake.

Hello,

I need the help of builders and other experienced persons in the house.

Can a staircase that can stand the test of time ever be built without a starter bar?

Regards,
Tony

A qualified engineer is needed to supervise a building construction:

Hello Guys and Ladies (if any),
