01 Plan load path, formwork and embeds
Coordinate the frame before concrete hides decisions.
- Check columns, beams, slabs, openings, construction joints and temporary supports.
- Confirm embedded plates, sleeves, anchors, balcony edges and stair interfaces.
- Review pour sequence, access, pump route and curing method.
Hold point: Do not close formwork until embeds, openings, reinforcement access and pour method are coordinated.
Tools, equipment and access: Formwork system, Shop drawings, Sleeve templates, Temporary props
02 Fix reinforcement and pour concrete
Deliver structural capacity with inspectable cover, spacing and consolidation.
- Install rebar with correct laps, chairs, spacers and congestion management.
- Inspect cover before pour and keep access for vibration.
- Place concrete in controlled lifts or bays and protect against rapid drying.
Hold point: Concrete should not be poured until rebar, cover, openings and embeds are signed off.
Tools, equipment and access: Rebar tools, Cover meter or gauge, Concrete vibrator, Pump line, Curing covers
03 Verify geometry, curing and as-built records
Prevent frame deviations from becoming finish and MEP problems.
- Check column alignment, slab levels, stair geometry and opening dimensions.
- Maintain curing period and protect exposed concrete edges.
- Record as-built deviations before envelope and engineering rough-in.
Hold point: MEP rough-in and envelope work should not start until critical dimensions and openings are verified.
Tools, equipment and access: Laser level, Plumb laser, Moisture/curing log, As-built photo set
