Hello Everyone! We are building again. This construction journal serves as a record of activities on the new project we're doing. The journal will be accessible to all interested parties (suppliers, subcontractors, decorators, architects, builders, prospective home owners and many others) but particularly useful to the owners of these beautiful project. The thread will serve as a record describing who was on site, what was done, problems that arose and progress made daily. Please feel free to post comments or questions to this thread.
So here we go again, bookmark or follow this thread to find out how it goes and I do hope this inspires you to get out and just do it.

NextHome | K-024 Getting the most out of concrete with strict attention to proper curing. Often times, proper curing of concrete is neglected. The main reasons for these on the part of the contractor is our desire for rapid production. Time is money! We (the contractor) want to finish building the house in record time without considering the health of the concrete. Clients often lack patience, especially when time is money, and curing demands serious patience and attention to detail. This project is an exception to the odd. The timing is right and the physical health of the structure is of paramount importance.

K-024 Schmidt Hammer TestToday, we conducted a non-destructive testing to identify the concrete strength with a Concrete Rebound Hammer and Cover meter for the Columns supporting our superstructure. I was definitely not suprised at the results of the test. We did our best and got 95% of the job right. The Mix Ratio: 1:2:4 The Materials: Berger Sand, 3/4 inch Granite, Clean Water (Borehole) and Dangote 42.5R Cement Formwork: Marine plywood and Steel Shuttering What could improve the result: Vibrating the concrete to remove air pockets.

Construction Change Order ~ Where things works Change orders is not always about request/payment of additional money in a construction project. Change orders are created to make a project hitch free when customer wants to add to the project (structural/architectural) or change materials or take a break that will affect project timeline or make ammendment to the contract. In short, anything that occurs during the course of the project that alters the scope, price, or time of the project requires a change order which must be duly signed by the contractor and the customer. When unplanned changes occur during the course of the job, have a contract change-order process in hand to assure smooth processing of those changes to avoid future disputes. Remember, if it’s written, it did happen.

Slabless Staircase | K-024
Every project deserves something classy and different. K-024 is no exception. A cantilever staircase, our choice for this build.
Watch it happen!
