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.
Coordinate larger openings with the useful wall sections that remain.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw fixed furniture, sightlines and opening windows together. Allow room for screening so it does not later obstruct cupboards, heaters or passages.
Decide this before construction
Choose layout and storage needs before fixing window divisions. Then coordinate lighting and connection points with the remaining usable walls.
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.
