SCOPE OF WORK
GENERAL Requirements/Standards - ACI
MATERIALS Specified types and accepted values for aggregates and slumpSlump test: used to determine hardness and consistency of concrete before curing
PLACEMENT method of placement, proper placement, equipment used to place material
FINISHING type of finishes and tolerance, product maintenance and curing
Conclusion
“Construction is a collaborative effort; everyone has to do their part, from
management through subcontractors and suppliers”
