I need a clarification please. Between stamped concrete and interlocking which is ideal?

Also is it necessary to reinforce the floor with rod before stamped concrete?

It depends on your soil formation. I’m currently working on a floor and we are reinforcing with 3.5mm Wire Mesh.

If I’m doing similar stuff in a waterlogged site, I’ll do 4mm and above.

Both interlock and stamped concrete have their pros and cons. But the odds favor stamped concrete the most.

The beauty of the two depends on who is installing it.

If you get a very good installer, the interlocking will come out very very NICEEEE.

If you also get a very food floor stamper, the stamping will come out very beautiful.

And if you get the not too good installers, hmmmmm.

You mean paying for a quote given in 3 or 4 month ago ? Or pay immediately the quotation is given to the client sir

I have a client that gave me money upfront for materials. Tye project is not ready for us to mobilize but we have bought 70% of the materials to avoid fluctuation in price

i have a client on here that pay for cable and other stuff since January, all neatly rap and waiting for deployment. the site is not ready yet.. but its better to buy materials ahead cause of the current inflation.

The owner of the Bariga 30 mini-flats paid for all the prepaid meters to use on his project and other projects as far back as January. Even before foundation was done.

I’m buying the carport above now because of the increase in price of building materials.

Of course a lot of things cause concrete to crack. It's not just lack of reinforcement. Preparation of the subbase matters too.

seunpinky:

I don't know if he is the potential electrical contractor, however,I know that your recommendation might not be possible because even the major wiring factories have all increased their prices and have paused receiving payments from their distributors.

Building right now is so tough and challenging.. someone made a recommendation recently here that a owner/builder should look for a cement distributor and pay well in advance to lock current cement prices.. I laugh at such recommendations because the distributor would at best offer to refund the money paid when the time comes to deliver d cement paid for.

I understand thanks.
