Meanwhile, infill/backfilling of Unit 2 is ongoing.

Jarchi: I so much love oga brabus for his professional touch to architecture

Thanks so much for the wonderful compliment. Our experiences have shaped us and we are constantly evolving.

Pre-fab construction - the next thing on my mind.

bran1: . What is the cost of hiring the form work materials compared to buying wood

At least, 50% savings on material cost and time. Quality can never matched.

Day #9 - Double Feat Achieved

Yesterday, we achieved a double. We poured Unit 2 ground beam and also poured Unit 1 DPC which signifies the completion of the Substructure Phase of Unit 1.

segcymoor: Curious! From the observations you sand fill this land before commencing. If I may ask how long does you give for compacting period or you commence immediately.
Well done and quite an age!

Enquiry mind needs an answer. Land has already been sand filled before purchase with broken bricks from another site. We just need to do cut and fill in some areas. We actually sand filled because we needed ample space to work on the site.

Straight and Neat with adequate concrete cover.

Foundation Works - The NextHome Advantage

On Saturday, we commenced the installation of the foundation wall forms of Unit 1. On Sunday morning — the wall crew got started putting finishing touches and braces on the walls. They moved very quickly, and by 4:00pm on Sunday evening, they were done and ready to pour. 25 concreters showed up around 8:15am on Tuesday, and by 3:15pm, the walls were poured and adjusted. By 5:05pm on Tuesday, the ground beam has been poured and the site empty again — less than 72 hours to build and pour the entire foundation is pretty impressive!

Yesterday morning, the forms were stripped and we moved on to sandfilling, waterproofing and the rest of the foundation work…

Everything is working according to plan, which is how we planned to serve our clients going forward.

________
All forms for this project were hired at a fraction of the cost of what our client would have spent on woods and the quality of work unmatched. Another great reason to build with us

We are as good as the last home we built

We keep improving everyday

Concrete work just the way I ordered it.

Coming up next! K-024

Our Architectural Plan and Site Development Plan have undergone reviews and we are hoping to get them submitted to the estate office for final approval. From here, the estate office has 2 to 3 days to review them and either approve or request changes.

Thereafter, we go turn-key on preliminary works.

Unit 2 - Sneak Preview

Sand filling is complete - With the help of an outstanding crew at NextHome Builder, we were even able to make a few changes on the fly within just 3 days!

End of Week #1 (Day 3)

Installation of the Ground Beam Reinforcement completed: the iron benders are through with the installation of the ground beam for unit 1 and have proceeded to preparation of reinforcement for other stages of the project.

Installation of the Ground Beam Forms nearing completion: the carpenters are almost through with the installation of the forms for the foundation ground beams. These are the molds that will be used to shape the poured concrete.

I'll be spending some time today with the carpenters to inspect the installation while we await the concrete pour in the early part of the new week. In between, we will be doing the first fix mechanical works.

Thanks Bro, I'll post the 3D pictures of the house when it is in along with the awesome views. In the meantime, here's the front elevation of the building with cutouts from the 3D rendering.

Project Update:

Week #1 of construction was busy (and a success!). Week #2 is shaping up to be a little bit less busy, but hopefully just as productive. Thank God for the August break. We should be out of the grounds before any major rain.

- Ground Beam Reinforcement of Unit 1 completed.
- Sand filling of Unit 2 ongoing.
- Preparation of starter columns, column extensions, rings and all other reinforcement as may be required ongoing.

During Week #2, we plan on starting the concrete work, which requires more upfront preparation and more time. Hopefully, we should be preparing to spend week #2 focused on finishing the foundation work — waterproofing, running foundation drains, termite treatments, pouring the slabs, etc.
