We selected two case studies for your review.


Case Study 1

Owner A bought a large plot of land with intention to build a 3 storey semi-detached house.

Findings/Recommendation:
Upon analyzing the land area and requirements, we proposed building a pair of 3 storey semi-detached house and a smaller scale semi-detached house.

Our proposal is based on several factors:
Having a small family, it is unnecessary for A to spent time on maintenance. He becomes a developer by building additional semi-detached house and sells it. In turn, he earns himself a free semi-detached house for stay from the sales proceeds.


Case Study 2

Owner B bought a 2 storey corner terrace house with intention to extend rear yard and add in an attic. Prior to purchase, a builder offers B a dream house with fantastic design although he has limited funds. Upon submission and tender exercise, the construction costs ballooned to over 50% above his initial budget. He is unable to bear the cost although design was to his liking.

Findings/recommendation:
We studied the design and proposal. In our opinion, the structural systems were overly design and materials to be used is upper class range. We proposed to replace the structural systems with alternative lightweight design and affordable but equivalent materials. We made changes to suit existing structural layout, avoiding any removal of structural where higher costs would be involved. With slight changes on the layout and facade aesthetic, the house was completed within owner’s comfortable budget.
