After the contractor finishes the carpentry work for the basement ceiling, and the electrician marks the electricity points, according to the approved plans for the project, the blacksmith starts the rebar work, for information, the conversation is still ongoing about the stages of implementing the basement ceiling in residential villas that have a basement.
The work of the main bridges of rebar is started, after that the supply of horde, the type of horde that will be used in the ceiling for this stage must be predetermined, horde blocks are available in several types: Cement horde: It is preferable to use it when you want to make a ceiling plaster later in the finishing stage and is characterized by its heavy weight, red horde: It can be applied later with the addition of some chemicals that contribute greatly to the cohesion of the roof, and its weight is reasonable compared to cement horde, cork horde (polystyrene): It is used when you want to install false ceilings and it is not recommended to make the pedestal on it, even if some precautions are taken, such as placing iron grids under the cork, as the pedestal on the cork is heavy and prone to falling, and cork is considered the lightest and best, especially in the case of false ceilings.
The contractor must calculate the amount of concrete needed for the basement ceiling, determine the date of pouring the concrete, and add the working days needed to finish all work on the ceiling with the participation of the plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, and other contractors whose presence is required by the project as needed, after that the concrete is reserved with the concrete supplier company.
The contractor must calculate the amount of concrete needed for the basement ceiling, and determine the date of pouring concrete.
Horde is supplied to the site, financially, it is preferable to supply the horde by the producing factories directly, the contractor cleans the roof, after that the horde is installed and described according to the plan, rebar (nerves) is made that connect the main rebar bridges, after that a rebar cover is made on the horde from above, at the same time rebar is made for the basement staircase.
Reinforcing iron is made for the basement staircase.
The contractor must be emphasized to adhere to the approved plans for the project, and implement the plan in all its details, with the importance of making landings in the floor of the bathrooms and kitchens located on the basement ceiling, if any, after the contractor completes all reinforcing steel work for the basement ceiling, the supervising engineer comes to receive the rebar If the plan is actually implemented, a report is written and delivered to the owner, when there are notes, the contractor is informed to modify them with an explanation of how to do so by the engineer, if the notes are important, the engineer must return again to complete the receipt process after the contractor finishes making these modifications.
After the engineer receives the reinforcing steel for the roof and gives the approval for pouring, preparations are made to start the plumbing, electrical, and air conditioning work, as there is a pre-set date for these contractors to be able to finish their work immediately after the completion of the reinforcing steel work.

Is foam concrete for roofs a good and reliable system for heat insulation?
Is foam concrete for roofs a good and reliable system for heat insulation?
Foam concrete formwork is used to obtain slopes towards rainwater drainage points, as well as when there are electrical and other extensions in the roof floor, these extensions are covered with foam, foam concrete is characterized by its light weight and achieving the required slopes. It also contributes a small percentage of heat insulation and this is an advantage gained from its use and the main goal is the slope, noting that foam is one of the important elements to achieve the slope in most roof thermal insulation systems, and it cannot be relied upon solely as a thermal insulation system.
