Hello,

I know we discussed granite a long time ago but i couldn't find the reference pages.

There are different granite types out there...3/4" down, 1/2", normal 3/4" etc.

Which of these is ideal for concrete (foundation, column, beam) and why?

Thanks

The electrician got a big 63 Amps three phase change over which I stopped him to install and told him 100 Amps rating should be used. He brought his calculation book and explain that the 63 amps is good. But not convinced yet.

i think the 63amp is ok, being 3 phase, its 63amps x 3.
how much did you purchase it?. got a quote of 45k for it, something i bought 18k several years ago --nipl

No Sir that is not the point. U need a smaller size of granite if u are casting something like lintel and column in order for the output of the finished concrete surface to come out fine. While u need a bigger size of granite for casting of oversight concretes, (German floor) retaining walls, concrete slabs in order to give u more strength .

He really has done a good job conserving the space especially giving his positioning of rooms. Do you have any future plans to raise if so some allowance for this might come into plan.

It really is so busy and I would suggest that it has some symmetry. Need to keep it simple.

Do you really need 3 toilets in 2 beds. You can have a master ensuite and then have the second double as a visitor toilet. If it’s not a high rent area then it really is a waste of resources.

Your plumbing cost will be astronomical due to layout and no of them.

2 of the kitchens are backing off one another and in an enclosure too not ideal and intrusive. Increases opportunity for theft.

Generally it just does not work for me he really can do better.
