Looks a bit weird on the last photo, top right. Lot of weight on that little piece of steel? What do you think mate?

I see your point mate. Once the collum is boxed and filled with concrete, the load bearing stress will be taken by the entire peir however,
i'll send a screen shot to the architect with a querie.

I'd be getting the architects and builder there before they do any more, mate!

Hollow steel and metal sheeting should be OK, At least it is not corrugated cement panels which are far heavier.

The architect is on site every day and I have a meeting with him today @ 2pm. Although he is Thai, he speaks very good English and really seems to know his stuff.
BTW, he graduated from RMIT, Melbourne

No worries if it's just the light metal or plastic sheeting over your car park.
Without seeing any interior photos I'd personally be more concerned with discussing the builder meeting your "ready by February" completion date.
(That's just me.)

What are the large blue drainage pipes for ?
Is it for collecting water runoff from your roof's poolside and house exterior gutters ?
Will those drainage pipes be mortared within those support beams...are those 'support' beams ?

No problem then. He'd have something in plan for strength.

The blue pipes are storm water from the box gutters and are bracketed to the blockwork and are rendered in as a facard.

Mate, if it works, all good. Love the brackets, really.I have downpipes from the guttering around my house. Why do you find it strange?
