Dear elders,
What’s the best approach to minimize wastage of planks on my site. Going by the work plan from my engineer, we should be casting the short pillers. Later on the casting of the long pillers then the lintel and decking.
A carpenter suggested that I should buy the white wood and use it direct for the short pillers without cutting. As such the same will be useful for the long pillers and lintel.
Engineer suggested we should outsource the whole process asking the carpenter to source for planks at each stage. He claimed no amount of planks bought now would be useful later on either for lintel or decking.
Please elders, what is the best approach to this in other to avoid wastage at least upto the decking ? I wouldn’t like to invest so much in planks with my limited resources.
