    The life span of a building may vary from 50-80 years depending, but only if it is maintained properly, otherwise if it is not maintained properly, then there is a very high possibility that may start arising from early years in between 20-25 years.

    Rental charges are not fixed; there are many factors which affect the rental cost:

    1. Location of work, and availability of supplier in that location: Location of site, the terrain of the site, If there are no local suppliers than the cost may be higher.
    2. Type of terms and condition for the rental agreement: Fixed hours Vs. Flex. hours, Fuel will be provided by which stakeholder, Inspection will be done by which stakeholder, the Machine operator will be by which stakeholder, Insurance will be by which stakeholder, Equipment maintenance will be under whose scope, etc..
    3. Duration of renting: If the machine is rented for longer time period there are chances that the rent may be less as compared to less duration.
    4. Type of machinery and model of machinery: If it is a crawler-mounted, or wheel mounted, fixed or mobile equipment (In crane). The capacity of required machinery, etc…

    There may be many other reasons, which can affect the rental cost of the machine, but an estimate can be done by working out its owning and operating cost.

    You will have to give wiring conduit in slabs for the fan, and other equipment which is hanging on a slab and it is a general practice, or if there is a false ceiling there will be no need for wiring in the slab, wiring in the false ceiling is more accessible than in slab, but for concealed wiring, it is necessary to run an electric cable from the walls so that it can reach the switchboard. So, there is no such problem if we run it from wall or slab, it is just that it will not be easily accessible.

    For 10 x 10 ft room first calculate the volume and then find the no. of brick with the following method

    Room walls volume can be found by Centre line method or long wall short wall method.

    Let us take an example for 10 Cu.m masonry
    Size of bricks 230 x 115 x 75 mm
    Volume of brick 1.98 x 10-3 Cu.m
    Adding cement mortar (Thickness 10mm) 240 x 125 x 85 mm
    Volume of new brick 2.55 x 10-3  Cu.m
    No. of modules =10/2.55 x 10-3
    = 3922 No. 
    Adding wastage 12% =3922 + 12%
    = 4393 No.

    Here module is brick along with the cement mortar on all side.

    Now, this is for 230mm wall, this method is not applicable for partition wall, as it is measured in sq.mt it is having different method.

    Hope this help!

    Thankyou.

    Expansion joints are given in decks to prevent it from cracking as RCC expands and contract due to weather, steel expands when hot and contract when cold, this action develop cracks in the concrete, so to avoid such cracks joints are given
