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 the structure with the proposed opening to the garden.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one section through the kitchen, glazing and terrace. Include finished floor levels, the roof edge and shading position; separate supplier sketches do not fully show these relationships.
Decide this before construction
Fix the kitchen layout and finished floor levels before ordering services and glazing. Plan the outdoor transition too, even when garden work will follow later.
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.
