Assalam-o-Alaikum all,

Hope everyone is fine and doing well. I am constructing my 8M house and my builder suggested me to go for RBC (Reinforced Brick cement) roof with 2 bricks in a square of steel.

His point was that 8M house has smaller spans room so there is no need to go for RCC roof.

Now we are done with roofing but I have observed following two problems in roof:

1) There are few patches in roof where bricks are not placed properly and are tilted. This means bricks are placed like this /\. Because of it concrete is not filled in between them and steel is visible there. Builder says it normally happens while pouring concrete and it does not effect strength of roof.

2) I have observed water seepage problem. Water drops from some places when excessive water is poured on roof. As per builder problem will get solved after flooring which includes brick ballast layer and concrete layer.

Can any experienced person tell me about severity of these two problems? Are these serious problems? If yes, what can I do now to fix them.

Thanks alot.

Habib replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 12:17 PM PST 

Not a big issue Plater and Floor will clear it, RBC is Common and Its strength is Not an issue with Short Span walls.Again exposed steel is also Common.
I dont Know why issue of Tilt Bricks came that can be due to improper Spread of Concrete while Filling some bricks might have fallen Down, Use Good Ratio cement for Palster.
Now when Bricks are also expensine I dont know How Difference in price it brings the Cost.
, As a matter many workers are expert only in RBC where level of concrete can easily determined to 4 Inches and width of Brick guide you.
Can someone tell what is Cost of RCC per 100 sq feet and what is of RBC with 2 Bricks, what is Cost of One Truck Margalla Bajri.
One advice is here if You Think that you gave Contract on very Competative rate than Market, Just tell Your thekedar that i shall give you 1 or 2 Lac as Good will if there are no Comlaints like this in future, this will help him to slow down the Process so that quality is maintained.

Dubai replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 02:52 PM PST 

Leakage could also be because of spot light boxes/wiring pipes fitted into the roof concrete. It will go away with flooring or tiling the roof.

RCC and RBC replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 03:32 PM PST 

I agree with Habib, how days bricks are also expensive, so there is no difference in cost of RCC and RBC.

Use good ratio of cement to plaster the roof. hire top worker to plaster the roof.

DHA houses

1- Do DHA allottees need to entrust th construction projects of their houses to a designated contractor?

2- Are DHA allottees required to adhere to the same designed for the construction of their houses as allowed by DHA authorities?

3- Does DHA allow to install solar plants in houses at DHA societies for power generation and water heating purposes in view of load shedding?

Jameel replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 02:26 AM PST 

I guess you misunderstood DHA is not that strict, there are some by laws and other than that there are no many bindings people are living freely.
1. There are certain approved architects, you can see the List on DHA web but there is no strict fixed maps for that.
2. No here is no Control on design but map need to be approved by DHA and later after Completion one need get Completion certificate to ensure that same map was respected. There are certain by laws mainly to leave mandatory clear area on front and side and back.
3.I am not sure but I guess there should be no issue.

@Jameel sb. Kindly please tell me about mandatory clear area. Can we leave more clear area than specified? If I am building a house on 8 Marla, can I leave 2 marla for lawn or have to follow the DHA exactly for the length and width of the lawn?

Hi, dear fellas and experts can you please guide me in making a rational decision as to where should i buy a plot for living in 3-4 years time frame.

My budget at the moment is 5 million, however i can stretch it to 7 million in 3-4 months.

Please suggest me which one is the best option in DHA or Bahria town (suspicious about its future coz of malik riaz and location)

I would prefer an option which is capable of offering quality living and amenities of life (schools, hospitals, shopping centres, etc)

Your sincere advice is highly appreciated.

Cheers

Bilal replied on Sunday, September 23, 2012 03:29 PM PST 

Also, please suggest which one is a better option on above mentioned criteria:

Phase 8
Phase 6
Phase 5 Ext

And can you get plot on installments in phase 8

What is the expected data of development work completion in phase 8

And is it surrounded by villages?

IB replied on Sunday, September 23, 2012 06:12 PM PST 

Only in phase6 . Phase 8 and 5ext. will take minimum 5-8 years for the posession. Bahria town is still a safe investment.

RZ replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 02:22 PM PST 

Go for Phase 8 Parkview or phase 6

I am planning to purchase a house in Askari 10. guide me about the procedure, guidelines and precautions to be taken care of. How much time it takes for the transfer? Any special measures. How I should pay, safe way? What documents are needed for transfer? Who is the best and clean property dealer dealing in Askari 10? Any other specific instruction regarding Askari 10. Thankful and looking for your comments. Open for all. :h :h

Aamir replied on Sunday, September 23, 2012 02:13 AM PST 

I think you have finalized the deal looking at the the good points of Askari-10. Just to help you in making an informed decision, consider Quality of construction, frequent theft cases and landing/take off noise. If you already know all of these then I wish you a happy landing at ASKARI-10.

Jameel replied on Sunday, September 23, 2012 02:25 AM PST 

all the procedure is same but a unusual steps
1. is to get security clearance by GHQ,
2. NOC for seller by GHQ
and I am Not sure but I think later transfer is also in GHQ
it will take good 2 months time.
Transfer Charges for a civilian is 6 Lac for 10.5 Merla, I think there is no stamp duty but I am not sure in this 6 Lac CVT is also included.

Needy 4 Sincere Advice replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 04:36 AM PST

Thank you Mr Jameel for providing this comprehensive information.
Any chance of malpractice or fraud in this deal?
Transfer charges which I knew before were around 3 to 4 lacs, can you please elaborate? Can u recommend me a reliable dealer?

Aamir replied on Monday, September 24, 2012 11:26 PM PST 

You may take the services of any reasonable property dealer, since the transfer process is transparent enough to avoid any fraud. Make sure the seller has NOC issued from GHQ.
