The Contractors Sub-Structure Mastery - Volume 2
What happens below ground and up to floor level can make or break the whole project.
This practical South African construction control manual takes the contractor, foreman, and owner-builder straight into the real sub-structure work: foundation walling, backfilling, compaction, under-slab services, damp control, retaining interfaces, waterproofing below ground and the checks that must happen before the next stage hides the evidence.
This is not theory from the sidelines - it is real site guidance for keeping the job stable, dry and under control.
Inside this volume:
Foundation walling, early sub-structure build-up and sequence control
Backfilling, compaction and what must never be buried blindly
Under-slab services, sleeves, routes and coordination before concrete
Damp-proofing, waterproofing, below-ground protection and retaining-wall risks
Levels, floor preparation and hidden-work checks before the project moves up
Practical checklists and control points you can use on site immediately
Most books mention sub-structure work in passing.
This book shows you what to watch, what to record, and what to get right before damp, movement and hidden mistakes come back to punish the project later.
Your package includes a ZIP file with the full PDF, and the EPUB3 e-reader version, and a short guide on how to open and use the EPUB3 file.
No page filling fluff, no dead spaces - just practical, real-world information designed to read well on paper and work comfortable through a compatible e-reader app.
