Weldone, great job... form work am highly waiting to see.

Ytechconst:
Nice one Aventures....Wish you success on the project bro.

Aventures:
We set to move to the last stage of the foundation: back filling. surface preparation and ground floor reinforcement and concreting. Watch as every actions unfold

olaafirst:
Well don sir just want to inform you I'm compitent for the electrical work

Aventures:
Thanks for all my well wishers i really wish you well. It was quite challenging coming out of this fdn, we had to cast for two days with just few hours interval of rest to allow best practice to prevail in the job. The space of the job was quite slow because we have 3 Y20mm iron as the top bars and this made it tight for the pouring of concrete. but nevertheless we ve got it done. Tx to god and you all

segcymoor:

3 Y20 is understandable considering the expected load ....better alternative would have be 5Y16 with spacer. However u would have suspend the introduction of y 20 on top to after casting of ground beam. By so doing d concrete will be pour easily.
Well, hope there is no much concrete waste o.....I fear gbese o
Weldone.....oga @ the top

Adventures
I am also constructing around the axis. some quick questions.
Did you get disturbed for approval ?
Did some testing material people come ?
How did you deal with them. Thanks.
Also, I see 4 board for the foundation. If at a later stage one decides to increase to 6 board, in the metal work, I see 3 16mm rods tied at the top, can one use 2 instead of 3 for the extra 2 board ? Remember the bottom 4 board used 3 just like you have it in your picture above.

Aventures:
Well, the approval people came but our client is handling that. We no for sure that the Material Testing guys can as well come, but we know for sure when they come there would always be away out.
We have varying heights of our ground beam some are 1.6m high while some are 1.3m high (approx. 4-5 boards). Well it is better to be precise about your fdn height before commencement because you may not be able to add to it as long as it is raft fdn, but rather what some people do is to add filled solid blocks to the top of grd beam and later add a capping beam before the reinforced ground floor slab
