NextHome - Staying Relevant in Constantly Evolving Industry

Below is the picture of our modular column form which will allow quick assembly and installation on site while minimising wastage and reducing construction time. Why?

1. Increased speed and efficiency in construction
2. The requirement of skilled labour is reduced due to the simplicity of assembly and disassembly
3. Our column forms can be assembled and erected more easily than the traditional timber formwork
4. High quality surface finishes
5. Pocket-friendly budgets

Construction Update - Casting of the ground beam nearing completion. Picture updates to follow soon.

An innocent question.

What is the purpose of the filling of the space exactly?

Is it so that the decking has something to lay on, is it structural?

If not, then why not just elevate is slightly more to 8 feet and use it as indoor car park or recreational room designed knowing that it could get flooded in case of heavy rains/ Slight rains cannot enter if adequately protected with materials and specific paint.

Just picture updates. Final check prior to casting of the slab coming later today. Also the rough-in plumbing work will happen today.

I'll revert with information later on this thread. I'll definitely back up my argument for/against with pictures and real life examples.

Pls bear with me. I need to clear backlogs.

Weldone guy! However, if I may ask is there any reason for NON Screeding prior to Conctrete work.

Good Job! Bro!

No reason cos I see no importance unless you give me a cogent reason why it should be done other keeping the reinforcement free from dirt and prevent the same from puncturing the damp proof membrane.

We have already taken care off these. The reinforcement are never in contact with the DPM.
