Column Work & Brick Masonry (June 20 - 23)

Following up on our 19th June update, where we’re happy to share further progress at the site.
Column Work and Curing:
The column  and Floor PPC concreting was completed on 21st June as per ahead of B&B schedule(approximately by month).
Curing is being carried out diligently using 1HP Sharp water pump, ensuring uniform hydration across all vertical elements.
On average, curing is being done 4 times a day to maintain proper moisture levels and avoid surface cracks.
M25 grade concrete was used for column casting with a 0.5 water-cement ratio to ensure durability and structural strength
Brick Masonry Begins
Today, first-level brick masonry work has been completed above the plinth beam.
Concrete Blocks are being used to ensure uniformity and strength.

Mortar mix used: 1:6 ratio (cement:sand), complying with standard construction norms.

Vertical and horizontal joints are being aligned and thickness maintained as per design specs (10 mm).

QA Checks & Approval Awaited

We’re currently awaiting quality checks and B&B site engineer Prashanth’s approval before moving to the next level.

Internal alignment, plumbing rough-ins, and electrical conduit provisions are under verification.

We’ll keep updating as we progress with lintel casting and subsequent levels.

📌 Stay tuned for the next update where we cover beam shuttering and slab preparation

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!
