Mag wall stud ka 2x3 space *16" vertically. You can use fiber cement board instead of gypsum board.

Thanks Sir Max, I watched a YouTube installation and saw that the 16" spacing is the sturdiest, designed to carry tiles for t&b.

I actually plan to do a built in closet on this wall, thinking it would further boost the strength of this wall, am I right to assume this?

Correct...added corners & depth from built-in cabinetry can reinforce walls, sir.

Thanks Sir Travs, I was scanning the net and saw some composite walls made with mortar and EPS, it has T&G for easy joining and does not require plastering anymore, seems a lot easier, can this be supported by the slab alone? I think I read 65kg/sqm.

BTW, the floor is 12mm thick at 3k psi.

Check wall load assumptions w/ your designer, sir. Slab thickness & design mix alone are not enough data.
Also, plan out how you're gonna approach electrical & plumbing prep. Those T&G joints are best left shown. Filled, they will likely crack after a while.
Pair rigid w/ pliant materials, if you plan to have seamless walls remain so, longterm. Therefore, cement boards like Hardiflex go better w/ wood, & Gypsum w/ metal.

Uh-oh, I read that gypsum is not as hardy as ficem, I was actually thinking of hardiflex on metal

Not saying you can't...just pointing the ideal.

Masters Trav and Max, pwede ko ba lagyan agad ng boysen plexibond ang freshly done plaster? Or may waiting time? According to their website, need 14 - 28 days curing for fresh concrete, but I think it refers to slab, firewall ang lalagyan ko sirs. Kindly advise me, thank you.

For best results, apply plexibond on cured concrete or plaster, sir. You may reach out to their tech team on its many uses & applications.

Thanks sir Travs, I did read that on their website but needed confirmation from experts, I also was not expecting a speedy reply online and fear that such query directed to their sales staff would yield an automatic answer of yes it can be applied [emoji16]

How much? 15-20 thousands per square meter? Now I understand that I'm so glad I moved to Singapore 10 years ago... Here is much easier and more profitable to buy an apartment. For example, I bought a studio apartment for 3 thousand per square meter from this company PARC-CLEMATIS.COM.SG. But I bought it in the construction phase and so the price was low. But even if you buy a ready-made apartment from this company, it would cost me 5-6 thousand per square meter. Oh... I've never thought I'd move to Singapore because of a good apartment...

What solution would you recommend on water leak on pvc pipes? Seems like the leak is coming from an elbow joint. One pipe, vertically installed, is imbedded in the wall, while the other one, horizontally installed, passes through the ceiling and concrete beam.

Mighty bond is not an option for me.

Thanks!

i have a low opinion of buried pvc pipes.
i would have used metal pipes, if they are to be buried under concrete. but that's just ancient me.

there is pvc pipe glue. it's been over 5 years on my un-buried pvc...
but you'd still have to bakbak the wall to get at the segment or joint to repair.

You can try elastomeric sealant like vulcaseal, flexseal or sapal.

No half-arsed job for vital plumbing, sir. Redo em in PPR.

Wait at least a week before you apply plexibond. Better use fiber matting on it for better result. [emoji16]
