Pour 03 // Log
Every pour, on the record.

Pour 04 // Recent
Stripped, signed off, standing.
Pour 05 // Finish
A finish you can touch.
Concrete remembers everything: the grain of the board, the tie, the vibrator, the weather. We agree a finish class before we quote and pour a 1.2 × 1.2 m sample panel for sign-off before the first wall.

Nobody gets hurt for a slab.
Pre-pour inspections are signed by the foreman, the engineer and the pump operator. Exclusion zones go up before the boom unfolds. Every shift starts with a toolbox talk — in six languages if that's what the crew needs.
