Considering a big volume and distance, can we pour concrete one time and one
place/form from two different batching plants?

There is nothing wrong as long as the concrete has the same strength and
make sure that your engineer agrees on that.

As seen around, most of the exterior plastered walls seems to be wavy/undulation when
completed with painting works during some part of the day sunlight. Would you please tell
us what will be the acceptance criteria for this painting works/plastered walls?
My work is rejected due to the above problem.

You can find out here on one of my blog posts the “Tolerances” just type in
“tolerance” on the search tab and the website will reveal it for you. I’ve taken
that from our specification. The plaster should be properly checked and
should be within tolerance before the application of paint if it deviates more
than the tolerance then it is really not acceptable.

Thank you Mr.Noel for the response.


Today i received an NCR with description for the waviness in exterior
walls textured paints.
During my absence the external plastered walls were not inspected via
IR and been painted. When i checked the wall surface, alignments and
found to be within tolerances. Now the difficulty is that the construction
team doesn’t want to take out the paint for rectifying the waviness in
wall/paint. Please guide me what will be the corrective measures
should be taken inorder to close out the NCR.
Hope i will get answer for this.

You are welcome.


Now, it is also NCR if you did not raise an IR
before applying paint. It should have been
inspected and approved by the Engineer before
the application of any coats of paint.
This is my idea and perspective. Go first with the
diplomatic way. If you checked the area and found
the surface is within the tolerance, establish the
evidence, gather the standard that shows the limit
of deviation and then create a survey report that
your site investigation is true. There should be
something proof and evidence and then if survey
report is ready bring that to the Engineer along
with the standard and show to them that the wall is
within the tolerance. Convince them and let you
see what they will do and tell you.
