I took the service from Birla super like what HollyRogers has taken from ACC. they took 3 cubes for strength test and gave the first first result. After 1 week the strength should be minimum of M13.3 and ours came to 16.9. He says that the concrete should attain the max strength M20 in 27 days. I'll keep you posted.

I think they provided covering sheets too my contractor. I was not there when they gave. Contractor said he is going to use it for the next roof. What is the tape you are talking about?

gangmen are rigiculpus bunch of people and in spite of shouting with them they didn't mix the CSJ properly. I was totally tired and stressed dealing with these huys for the entire day. they'll screw up every single time. I think RMC is better than the gangen as my observation that RMC can not go worse than these guys.

wood cut to your requirements? 1300 for white sal may be on the higher end. i checked at one place in BSK 2nd stage near monotype bus stop. he quoted 1050 for red sal and 1150 white sal. the pieces he showed looked good but not sure when we really purchase.
