The drawing of the structure above is not handy to know some details concerning the building. However we have to run some check on the foundation to know its capacity and more. Considering the foundation dept, the pillar iron bar/size and also the concrete pillar, so we decided to make it a storey of four flats. There we go... 1 Like

Step formation and space management are both important here. The original step is not lengthy enough to contain double stairs but had double column boxes. So we have to make it a single flight to enable us have a good rise and more

Filling up the block holes before the slab cast is better done now and some cleaning in the pillar columns too for good result. 1 Like

Irrespective of the thickness of the slab, slab reinforcement is very key to avoid vibration and more.

Ready to cast the slab, fitters, carpenters ,electrical and mechanical are 95℅ ready... In the absence of biscuit ,hard cord stones played the role.

The first stage of casting ongoing... I always prefer to take on the stairs first, then beams and lastly the slab.

Why was a membrane used for the slab casting at deck. Is there any significant advantage as to warrant the cost implication. |
Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 6:25pm On Sep 12, 2017 |
austin2all: Yes, it has good advantages. 1.)The water that drips out of the concrete during or after casting a decken reduces the strength of the concrete cast, so the polyethylene sheet prevents that. 2.) it also play a very important role in retarding moisture from coming up through the concrete and into the structure (on foundation). 3.) Is commonly used as a damp-proof membrane with oversite concrete for all but severe conditions of dampness. 4.) It saves materials (concrete) from escaping (not the water this time) in between two planks that is not closely lapped. 5.) It makes the work look beautiful and strong. Etc. 4 Likes |

dubemcapital: Will the membrane be removed before screeding the ceiling? I'm thinking if its left in place, the plaster for screeding may not stick to well to the ceiling. Correct? |
Re: *** Building on an existing structure a storey Of One Bedroom (4 Flats)*** by dubemcapital(m): 11:04am On Sep 20, 2017 |

Hmm, the building has no architectural drawing but the client insisted work must continue... So I will have to work out a sketch even more modern designed arrangement at that to prove how good I am in this profession: I think that's what he want.
