For curing the concrete and bricks, water is the most important element. To have batter result as we request Mr. Mishra ji appoint a person on duty to water all building 8:00am to 6:00pm. To have a better joint between concrete and bricks they use fiber jali, which prevents the crake between two different elements.

On the 30th of May, we cast first floor slab and beams (fig.3). It’s quite a rainy day and luckily, we finished on time. While casting slab and beam I checked rebar as per structural-design or specification (fig.4). They build 230mm x 230mm RCC where there is a contract between roof and beam at inner side (fig.5), As per architect direction.
Brick work:
