Coupler

One of the common joint connection - COUPLER. It is a connector to join 2 pieces of bar together.

Coupler is used on certain circumstances. Construction constraint, heavy congested of lapping bar, provision for new element connection, etc.

The inner part of the coupler is spiral threaded to allow next connection bar.

Some grease is applied on thread to smoothen the connection bar in tightening.


External feature or shape of coupler can be in Hexagon shape to ease tightening whereby spanner can be used.

Somehow some parallel feature of coupler pattern is still applicable. Chain wrench can be used for tightening purpose.

No surprise to see this material, as more to come in future as technology goes on.

Penang - Ideal Landed Property

Property heat is getting higher and higher, especially in Penang. We can see residential development is mushrooming in the island or butterworth.

One of the landed property that has been spotted is Richmont Residence. This development is allocated in Jelutong Penang Island.

The very first impression given on this development is on its location, Jelutong. This is a 10 minutes distance to Penang town center or to Penang Bridge. As a golden rules for a property selection, Location, Location and Location. So save you from cracking head to find one, this is the ONE..

Strategy location is already made it stands as a Strong Selling point. It is connected to Jelutong Express way which takes a couple of minutes to travel down to southern part of island.

Furthermore, it is a landed property in Island. Scarcity of land has made the landed property becomes more valuable. Plus surprisingly, it is a freehold property. How can we resist this kind of offer?

Needless to mention about its spacious design and gated community for security enhancement, in term of selling price ( in $/Sq ft) this is unbeatable in town and it also implements Build and Sell concept to assure the buyer on guarantee delivery.

No turning back.. grab it while you can...

Formwork Strutting

There are many types of formwork strutting. Commonly, timber strutting can be seen. The below is the construction of base of drain and using timber strutting for the side formwork.


Another type of strut is steel strutting. See the picture below how steel strut work. Timber strutting can be nail easily. How about steel prop connection?


The end strut is propping to the ground with a U head strutting firmly to a horizontal timber.


The other end of connection is to fix to wall panel like below.

Technology changes. May be one day plastic will be used.

Buy or Sell

Booming of property sector has caused the construction cost increase and , no doubt, the cost is being transfer to the consumer.

Property price is growing uptrend, there is a BUY call to pick up the property now rather than later. Buying a property now before its price soars up to ceiling height and always a right move.

Despite a heavy BUY call, for existing property owners, may also think of selling off their property as they can revamp a great profit from it.

BUY and SELL which one is the right move shall refer to the demand and supply of the market.
Besides, demand and supply shall also correlate to property location as it is a golden rule of thumb for property investment- location, location and location.

Buy in for investment shall forecast the demand lest to over committed. Sell off a property also need to evaluate where the property has reach its peak and give minimal growth.

Most important point is never rush on buy or sell. We shall scrutinize the situation and market carefully but not blindly follow the trend..
