Deshuttering of Footing & Pedestal Completed (June 4th) | Curing in Progress

As of June 4th, the deshuttering of the footing and pedestal was completed successfully. Initially, the curing phase was being tracked only for the sump tank. However, with progress on the structural front, curing tasks have now been expanded to include footings and pedestals as well.

Before deshuttering:
After deshuttering :
B&B has enhanced oversight by assigning daily curing responsibilities to the contractor via the app. These are now mandatory across multiple components of the site.

The contractor is required to:
✅ Conduct curing three times daily (morning, afternoon, evening)
✅ Upload videos for each curing session
✅ Ensure geo-tagging is active, restricted to the construction site radius

This ensures concrete gains optimal strength and reduces the risk of shrinkage cracks.

🧱 Curing Guidelines (Now for Multiple Structures)

- Use clean water consistently.
- Keep concrete surfaces moist for at least 7 days.
- Avoid water stagnation near footings and sump tank.
- Use wet hessian cloth where needed to maintain surface moisture ( For current weather conditions in Bangalore not required).
- Keep a log of curing activities with timestamped videos.

🔜 Upcoming Task: Soil Backfilling
With curing underway, the next milestone is to begin backfilling the soil around the completed footings. This will provide necessary support and enable further structural work like the plinth beam layout.

The Future of Home Design is Here - GenAI Elevation Visualization

Image
Imagine standing in front of your unfinished home, taking a picture — and instantly seeing what it could look like when complete. That’s no longer imagination it’s Way to Agentic  era. Using the AI Elevation Agent - Free tool , we can now generate realistic building elevations directly from a photo of the current structure. 👉 On the left, you see the actual photo of the existing building. 👉 On the right, the tool’s GenAI-generated elevation — a stunningly realistic visualization of what the final design could look like. What’s exciting is how accessible this technology has become. Just a year ago, producing such high-quality architectural visualizations required complex design tools and professional expertise. Today, with advancements in AI and agentic systems, end consumers and homeowners can visualize their dream facades instantly — no manual modeling, no waiting. This is just the beginning. With AI reshaping design, construction, and visualization, we’re stepping i...

Choosing the Right Sump Tank Size for My Home – A Thoughtful Decision

Image
As we begin building our dream home in BSK 6th Stage, 4th Block, one of the earliest and most important choices we made was about the sump tank size. It might seem like a small decision in the grand scheme of things, but water is such a basic necessity—it deserves thoughtful planning We are a family of 4 to 5 people, and I wanted to make sure we had enough water storage to last comfortably for at least 12–15 days, even during dry spells or BWSSB delays. After some thinking and observing how things work in Bangalore, I decided on a 8,000-litre sump. This is a practical size—tankers like Tata 709 and tractors that commonly deliver water in this area usually carry around 6,000–7,000 litres, so this capacity fits well. At our site location, the Kaveri water connection is in progress So, hopefully, the connection will be available soon. Until then, tanker water is our backup plan. Now, you might wonder—why not drill a borewell? Here's the thing: BSK 6th Stage was on...

All Set for External Plastering!

Image
The structure has come a long way — from foundation to framework, and now it’s time for the final touch on the exterior walls. All preparations are complete for the external plastering to begin. Surface leveling, curing, and waterproofing checks yet to carried out ensure a smooth and durable finish. This stage will not only enhance the appearance but also strengthen the building’s protection against weather elements. Excited to see the transformation as the structure gets its refined outer layer!
