I'm sure you know that bim laptops are very expensive compared to what clients are willing to pay. When clients are ready for bim they will get it.

Charisdesigns:
This gap has been bridged by BIM (building information modeling).

BIM allows for multidisciplinary collaboration in real-time. All parties have access to all the information relating to a project in its current phase and are able to communicate with all other parties simultaneously via the building information model. The advantages of this process are centered around improved communication and coordination and include early detection or reduced risk of mistakes or discrepancies resulting in less rework, reduced costs and improved quality.

Any architect, structural / mechanical or electrical engineer that has not embraced bim and the numerous advantage it brings is not ready for industry standard practice.

Charisdesigns:
I cringed when I saw this on one of the site close to mine.

This however is a honest appeal to all M and E guys, this is all shade of wrong and it will affect the structural integrity of the building.

When in doubt, reach out to fellow professionals on the project. On every project site, communication needs to be in sync.

KolaShangOne:
Sometimes, when I'm sent some designs, I request the Architect to explain how he intends to achieve some aspects including materials to use.

Am I the only one?

Because some of these designs give sleepless nights.

Two things are involved here.
You want good pressure and you are in tight budget

Follow this step.
Lesser cost of scaffolding at around 150-200k for 10ft or so
Add cost of pressure pump @ 35-45k
Add ruining cost per year let’s say 12k
Total around 265k or so then you have good pressure

Disadvantages
-No light no pressure
-Substandard plumbing work will result to Leakages
-running cost of the pump ( repair, nepa bill)

Advantages
Good pressure
Lesser time to filled up any container or bathing time.


Good hight like 14ft as suggested cost 280k
Advantages
-Zero running cost
-One time cost ( construction cost)
-nearly zero fear of plumbing issue

I will advise you to go for 280k one time spent at 14ft with 0.1-0.5bar water pressure is adequate for you.

Unless you have good plumbing work from beginning then you can think of pressure pump.
