PART 1 Video - New day, New Challenge...and who doesn't luv a challenge! We were tasked with forming concrete into shapes with embossed lettering in different colours this required custom moulds so the colours did not bleed into each other and a custom Mpa of concrete for smooth setting. We then had to cut into existing concrete and install them level with the existing surrounding surfaces. Big shout out to Lamond Contracting for working with us on this project for Wingercarribee Council. Another well executed project. #bespokesignage #concretesignage #lamondcontracting #cunneensigns

🚧 Construction Challenge: Uneven Flooring 🚧 Uneven floors can complicate steel partition installations, leading to alignment and stability issues. At Steel Partitioning UK, we conduct a thorough site survey to identify irregularities before materials arrive at the site. Our made-to-measure steel partitions are designed to accommodate these adjustments, removing any alignment concerns or gaps from an uneven surface.

Parapet wall and Stair tower Parapet is a dwarf wall or heavy railing around the edge of a roof, balcony, terrace, or stairway designed to prevent those behind it from falling over. they are primarily used as guard rails, to conceal rooftop equipment, reduce wind loads on the roof, and to prevent the spread of fires. The minimum height of the parapet wall should be approx 3.5 feet. Parapet walls should have a minimum thickness of about 9 inches for masonry walls and 6 inches for reinforced Concrete (RC) walls. In order to prevent the dampness, parapet walls should be plastered from both sides. Stair Tower A house like structure above the top of the topmost floor to cover our staircase area and provide surroundings and roofings to stairs termed as Stair tower. Also there is door opening to provide movements on the Roof slab of last floor. #civilengineering #practicalknowledge #hard60daychallenge #technicalSkill #CivilGuruji #Engineering #PracticalKnowledge #EngineersBro

In modern construction, many different substrates and multiple types of tiles are used. How can we cater to all their different needs? There’s a simple solution: tile adhesives modified with VINNAPAS®. They can be applied directly to drywall, concrete and old tiles and guarantee long-lasting results. 👉 Find out more in this video: http://wch.ag/olWrQ #tileadhesive #construction #vinnapas #polymers

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐃𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 Today on The Build Review, we're taking you on a tour of a basement project in Austin, Texas. Our host, Matt Risinger, a builder experienced in unconventional projects, invites architect Steve for an in-depth review of this unique construction. In the video, they discuss the challenges of building in Austin’s rocky terrain, the importance of natural light in basements, and the use of a large sliding glass door for illumination. They also cover design details like a home exercise room and a concrete sill pan. Practical aspects of basement construction such as drainage systems, rust prevention with fiberglass ties, and the concept of ‘aging in place’ are also highlighted, with the installation of an elevator for the homeowner's long-term convenience being a key feature. While basements can be costly and slow to construct, and can sometimes lead to maintenance issues, careful planning and a meticulous approach can mitigate these concerns. #Construction #BuildingTips #Basements #HouseBuilds #Design

It’s myth busting Monday. Think metal roofs are cheaper than concrete roofs? Total myth! Fact: Concrete tiles save you approximately 20% compared to metal sheeting when considering the entire roof construction. We did a cost analysis using the same roof and asked a number of our customers to price a concrete tile roof and a metal sheeting roof. This included the timber and installation costs. The findings: a concrete tile roof is a very cost effective solution when you take the entire roof construction, including your roof timber, trusses and installation costs, into account. Switch to concrete tiles for a stylish, cost-effective and long-lasting roof. Contact: info.sa@bmigroup.com #itsneverjustaroof #coverland #rooftiles #concreterooftiles

I’ve used “201” for the rectification of cracks on gypsum partition walls. This product can use for some other Engineering applications too…! 01.Super latex 302 For cracks on cement rendered & plastered surfaces. 02.Pidifin 2K 112 For the cracks in waterproofing areas like bathrooms and balconies. 03.Crack-X-Paste 201 For the cracks on the wall. 04.LW+ 101 As a cement bonding agent. 05.Raincoat 640 For external water leaking from roof and walls. #construction #civil #civilengineering #building #ceiling #Drywall #partition #cracks #rectification #engineering #buildingmaterials #Drfixit

When you have a fire rated wall, let’s say it’s a gypsum wall, and it comes under a concrete deck, we all know the building code requires us to firestop that. But what about the bottom of that wall?  Do we have to firestop THAT? Well, if you go to IBC 715.3 it says joints installed in or between fire-resistance rated walls, floors or floor/ceiling assemblies…shall be protected by an approved fire-resistant-joint system…. It gives a bunch of exceptions, but the bottom of wall is not one of them.  I have heard valid arguments that suggest bottom of wall should be added to this list, but shaft walls would of course be the exception to this. Check in tomorrow and I will share a discussion about #BuildBetter #FirestopCoffeeBreakTraining 

Cement-based floor finishing solutions are a great way to achieve a durable, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing surface. There are several approaches depending on the desired look and use of the space, such as cement screeds, polished concrete, or self-leveling compounds 4B Contracting Always Have a Solution. #CementFlooring #FloorFinishing #PolishedConcrete #ConstructionSolutions #4BContracting #QualityConstruction #SelfLevelingCompounds
