They call it as bombay mat, where they do not crank the rods. they pass the rods completely till end to end. They say some savings on steel can be done using this method.

it is 110 ml per cement bag.

you can use m-sand or robo sand as it is. for concrete i maintained 1:2:3 ratio. for block work 1:5. Also there is no restriction of using 53 grade cement while using Robo/m-sand. I have used Mycem cement slag based for all my work. Except for pillars which i used Birla super. In 1 floor i have used ...

i had ordered samples of Bharti plastering cement, it is very costly 150 Rs for 50 kg bag and coverage is less. I would not recommend that. better to go for good river sand for plastering.

the fine particle percentage is 30% in Robo sand and 25% in oriental m-sand. I have not seen any cracks for my mould or pillar.

hi,

use ica. each litre of sealer will give a coverage of 80 sqft easily for 2 coats. same with polish. sealer will cos around 450 - 480/ltr and polish around 550/ltr. u need stainer which depends on dark stain or light stain, will not exceed 250/ltr. spray m/c u get for 125/day rent and on top of this ...

Because of these problems Vectus has come up with glass jar lid kind of cover. the rates are comparable to kaveri.

What i found is that, if you give full contract, the quotes will be such that 75% more what you preferred can be achieved. for eg 1 sqt if he quotes 2000 that means your expectation he can achieve that for 1.75 sqft. The recent example i have is i am planning to build 2200 sqft of commercial space ...

I do not buy the theory that the construction cost has gone north significantly. Steel/sand/cement blocks/granatite/sadarahalli/tiles is almost at the same price 2 - 2.5 years back. Also now you can judiciously use robo/msand sand to reduce cost.
Yes there are increase in prices of cement, but at ...
