It's pretty straight forward if you plan well, remember to call the inspector in advance, get the material arriving in time so order a few days before as builders merchant can take a few days to deliver..also unforeseen issues can delay you. Allow two days digging FND and prepping etc, 1/2 day to concrete FND and 1/2 day waiting for the inspector...2 days upto DPC, 1 day prepping the slab sub base and then again 1/2 day inspection and 1/2 day concrete floor slab! Hope that gives an indication

The floor slab appears to be only 100 thick? The reinforcement mesh should be stooled up off the dpm to give 40mm of concrete cover at the top to the mesh and to set the mesh at the correct depth. Simply laid on the dpc the mesh won't do any thing at all!

I wish someone did a video where you describe exactly how to calculate the top of the foundation concrete level against the DPC - I note some seem to match up exactly with the top of the concrete blocks and others have smaller blocks (i'm assuming cut from larger blocks) on top of the larger concrete block coursing. So a video explaining how everything is determined based on block heights working downwards from the DPC
@foundationgood1233 жыл бұрын
Not sure exactly what you mean the blocks are used where they're not seen and generally 3 to 4 courses of bricks are used where they are seen generally above the ground level. 3 course of bricks = 1 block depth so thats how its worked in general practice...why! Blocks are faster and saves time and money...Hope that makes sense

Foundation concrete not deep enough should be minimum of 450mm from finished ground level for frost cover your steel mesh is not on spacers so as to allow it to be load bearing would be interesting to know how you worked out your diagonals top soil shouldn’t be used for backfill type 1 should and as a bricklayer of many years heights are set with a dumpy level and we build to a line not our eye
