James, yes I haven't seen it much either. Not sure why it doesn't happen more frequently. It's obviously more expensive to have a pour done with that big equipment initially, but the builder saves in time and money in the long run. Thanks for watching and your comment.
We have a nice, tall 2-story house with steel decking for both the second floor and the roof deck. Poor guys didn’t have all that stuff. It was stairs and buckets. Like they say, though, it’s more fun in the Philippines. I felt sorry for them not being able to do it the easy way!
@@danielkittelson1034 Daniel, most all elements of the house build was rolled together for my cost to the builder. I think the cost for using concrete trucks and a boom truck would be pretty comparable to what it would cost to pay workers to do that manually. The heavy equipment allowed it to be done in a half a day. If done manually it would likely take several days thus increasing labor costs. Additionally if done manually over several days the concrete wouldn’t be as strong. The slab they poured is referred to as a monolithic pour and increases the overall strength of the structure.
@@pulporock The architectural plan’s specify that the concrete, reinforcement, materials and workmanship is to conform with the latest building code of the American Concrete Institute (ACI-318). I’m fairly confident the engineers and architect are following. The plans don’t list a “mpa” rating but they do specify the required compressive strength test and minimum requirements after 28 days. Test samples have been taken.
Wow they finally realized there is a quicker and faster way to pour concrete. Good job and the mix is consistent
Great video,was keen to see this second floor pour.
In all the builds I've watched I've never seen them use all that equipment. Good to see them not caring all the concrete with buckets!

Build is looking good .. glad you didnt have any damage from Kristine
Me too, thank you Nicosia!
Hard working php🎉

@@KanoDailyThePhilippinesandMore Well the benefit is the workers were able to work longer and have a steady income
Now I hope they discovered the bull float .
Was it less expensive to use the cement truck and have it done in one day vrs having them doing everything by hand on multiple days?

What concrete company did you use,? Or construction company did you use
@@danielkittelson1034 I’m not sure of the name of the concrete company, it was done through my builder
Does the engineer specify on the plans the mpa rating for the concrete required.
cheers from Oz

Crocks and flip-flops on a concrete pour - not so pleasant (or safe) for the workers.
