Curing slabs in the dry season
Keep the slab damp for a full seven days. Hessian and a morning soak beats plastic sheeting in our climate. #concrete #curing
Check your rebar before it goes in
Mill certificates matter. We rejected a batch last month that was 8% under weight. Weigh a metre and compare. #rebar #qaqc
Formwork release agent saves you twice
Cleaner finish and the panels last another three or four pours. Cheap insurance. #formwork #carpentry
Sequence your MEP before the screed
First fix everything, pressure test, then screed. Chasing a finished floor is a bad day. #mep #plumbing
Photograph everything before you close it up
Every wall, every ceiling void, dated. It has settled three disputes for us. #sitemanagement
Test your blocks, not the sample
Suppliers send their best block as a sample. Pull three at random from the delivery. #hcb #quality
