Really it is a good information and guideline, in my view there should be a technical person who look after your construction work.An Engineer or Architect provides their services for the Technical Supervision of Work according to specification and drawings at very nominal rates as compared to total cost of constrn.

the site seems interesting. wanted to know about a feature in an old building in Kerala. The walls of various rooms have a small hole ( about 15 mm dia. If we put a torch at one end of the various holes, we are able to see the light at the end of the other holes through the walls. Was inquisitive as to why the holes are there and what was the use of these holes?
