Before the floor slab is constructed, walls and top connections are still easily accessible. Deviations are usually easier to correct now than later. Photograph and measure the most important areas and compare them with the current construction drawings. Have any anomalies clarified before the next step.
Incorrect positions of walls, windows, and doors will immediately become obvious later during fit-out or furniture assembly and are then expensive to correct. Deviations from the construction drawing must therefore be identified now.
The correct execution of the lintels is crucial for the structural integrity above the openings. The important bearing areas on the left and right will hardly be visible after the floor slab is poured.
Conspicuous areas such as damaged bricks, faulty joints, or untidy transitions to concrete elements must be clarified before the slab. Later, such weak points can lead to cracks or structural problems.
The top row of bricks bears the future weight of the slab. Bearing surfaces and connecting reinforcement are permanently covered after pouring and errors cannot be corrected without enormous effort.
Take photos of each room from at least two different corners. Make sure to record which room it is.
Document room dimensions as well as all windows, doors, and special openings. Place a clearly readable tape measure in the photo for important distances or sill heights (distance from floor to bottom edge of window).
Photograph each lintel once as an overall view. Also document the two lateral bearing areas in detail.
Photograph corners, material transitions, and the future slab bearing once around the entire perimeter. Do this before these areas are covered by the slab formwork.
Upload your photos. You will receive an overview of the conspicuous areas and the points you can raise before the pour.
