why 15 years?
hi the soap dragon
Why 15 years? Aggressive soils have high salt content and it attacks rebar in concrete piles under the foundations of high rise buildings. To design well for this you need to increase rebar diameter, cover of concrete and rebar coatings and soon. All this means extra costs if the building owner is doing this for himself he will bare the costs otherwise I don’t think they will design for very long term. So i m happy with 15 years anything above that is an added bonus. And I don’t want to scare you talking about workmanship and speed of construction can do to quality,….etc.
Conclusion: anywhere in the world less risk in buying in low rise buildings and houses if you don’t know the main contractor, consultant, developer, etc.
so unless you have more information regarding who is doing what and past records of what they have done i will stick with 15
and i might be wrong
