how this owner wasted almost 3K by assuming himself

Today, RCC molding work is scheduled in a nearby construction building.

The owner properly arranged all the molding required materials a few days back.

That’s a good practice.

But…

He made a mistake. That mistake cost him ₹2K to 3K.

What was that mistake?

The owner assumed where materials needed to be, and he dumped msand and jelly in the previous spot where he used to keep them.

It was the same spot where the previous few molding items were kept. So, the owner assumed he dumped all the materials in the same spot.

The Gang team (labourers who do concrete work) came this morning. They noticed they could not set up their ladder and asked different places to have msand and jelly.

What does the owner need to do now?

So the owner called JCB, and with the help of JCB, they shifted Msand and Jelly to the place they suggested by the Gang team.

It’s simply a time and money waste for the owner.

I recommend always asking Gang team members, not even your building contractor, to know where they need molding materials before starting RCC molding work.

They will suggest where they can install the machine, where they need msand, where they need jelly properly.

After that only keep materials as they suggest to avoid extra time and money wastage.

I have an important thing I need to share regarding molding if ground floor molding is not yet done. I shared that tip in my During Moding Time guide.

I highly recommend that you strictly follow what I shared in the guide.

Molding Tips During the Rainy Season

A few days back, near our one construction house did their RCC molding. It was rainy time…

Sometimes you may also want to do your RCC molding during rainy times.

If that is the case, then what I recommend is…

Know when it usually rains.

Usually, rain comes during a specific time of the day in every area. It could be early morning or afternoon or in the evening.

Here in bangalore I always notice rain usually comes after 1PM onwards.

If that’s the case, then you can ask your building contractor to arrange a molding gang to set up their equipment on the previous day itself.

RMC vs Site Mixing Concrete – Why we went with Site Mixing?

Site Mixing Concrete during RCC Molding

A few days back, one of our customers asked about RMC (Ready Mix Concrete) vs. Manual/Site mix concrete for RCC molding.

He asked for my input or what we opted for in our building. I quickly replied to his email about what we opted for and why. I thought many of you might have same questions in your head.

And today I’m in the mood to talk about this topic.
