Hello, everyone.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Installing Legal Frames Along a Mountain Slope

Benefits

1. The amount of mortar used is roughly equal to the design quantity plus some allowance for waste.

2. Since there are fewer places where we need to use gillnets, the workload is reduced.

3. Since the depth isn't great, construction is proceeding as scheduled.

4. Whether viewed from the front or from a curved path, the view doesn't change much.

5. The total length of construction tends to increase compared to a straight alignment. (Additional work)

6. The Beauty of Curves

 

Demerit

1. There is a limit to the thickness of rebar that can be bent.

2. It's hard work bending rebar.

3. There are some spots that are hard to reach with the iron.

4. Turning at the intersection of the structural framework makes it difficult for rebar installers and others to perform their work.

5. It becomes difficult to determine the pitch as it appears. (Projected area is acceptable.)

 

Is this what you had in mind?

Also, if the construction involves ground anchor work or rebar insertion, running the conduit through the wall will improve workability (to some extent), but,

If it is not included, costs will actually increase and workability will decrease.

If you ask which one is better, the one with the lower cost is better, right?

Specifically, from the contractor's perspective.

 

However, from the director’s perspective, if appearance is the priority, would it be better to just go with it?

A long time ago, there was a time when I was so particular that I made sure to drive straight through.

I’ve had experiences where the estimated labor and material costs at that time were more than 20 percent higher than the actual budget.

While 20 percent is the upper limit depending on the situation, it still means there is a lot of waste.

 

Even if the work is done at a 20% premium, the contractor's unit price doesn't really change, does it?

What I'm saying is that, depending on the time and circumstances, the "mountain" pattern can be more profitable, and sometimes the opposite is true.

If there's a big rock sticking out in one spot, do you just bend the track around it? Or do you cut through the rock??

 

Since the frame construction method offers a high degree of flexibility, both the general contractor and the subcontractor can make a profit depending on how it’s handled. (The opposite is also true.)

We’d like to discuss the construction details thoroughly with the general contractor and subcontractors before proceeding.

While it’s important to pay close attention to the details on-site, profits are also important. Let’s strive to strike the right balance.

Conversely, we as a construction company must ensure that we don’t become a contractor that merely carries out construction work.

 

See you later.
