01.1 Residential construction

Houses that pass inspection and survive Asar.

Roughly seven of every ten jobs we run are private houses on plots between 2 and 8 aana. The work is standardised because it has to be: same mix design, same curing regime, same checklist before any slab is poured.

SHEET 01.1 — RESIDENTIAL
What we build

Individual houses

Two to four storeys, RCC framed with brick infill. Typical plot 3–6 aana, built-up 1,800–4,500 sq ft. Design to handover in 11–14 months.

Apartment blocks

Six to thirty units, up to eight storeys. Requires structural design by a licensed engineer and a separate fire and access review.

Additions & renovation

Extra floors on an existing frame — only after a column and footing check. Kitchen, bathroom and full interior rework on occupied houses.

Standing checklist

Before any slab is poured

  • Reinforcement checked against the bar bending schedule and signed by the site engineer
  • Cover blocks placed — 25 mm slab, 40 mm column, 50 mm footing
  • Formwork level and props checked, shuttering oiled
  • Conduits and sleeves laid by the electrical and plumbing subcontractor
  • Client or client's consultant informed at least 24 hours in advance
  • Cube moulds, slump cone and curing tank ready on site

After the pour

  • Ponding or wet hessian curing for 14 days minimum
  • Cube tests at 7 and 28 days at an approved laboratory
  • Props kept under slabs for 21 days, under beams for 28
  • Photographs of every reinforcement layer filed against the job number
  • Measurement sheet entered in the client's copy of the measurement book
