What this work involves
Coordinate structural drawings, openings, services and finished floor levels before preparing the concrete work.
- Slab or wall build-up
- Openings and service penetrations
- Flatness and final finish
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Show how new structural elements connect without unnecessarily removing valued details.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw a scaled elevation showing existing and new windows together. Resolve the roof-edge, wall and window junction before deciding from an atmosphere image alone.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on volume, formwork, access and finish requirements. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for concrete work & slabs. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging concrete work & slabs?
A structural concrete slab and a decorative concrete finish are different elements. Ask for both to be specified separately.
