Hi all,
I've ordered some ready mix concrete for a ground floor slab in my renovated house. It's about 75m2 (9m3) and is mostly open plan apart from the living room. I'm having it pumped in due to access and my question is how many people should I get round to help level it off?
The concrete supplier said the pump guys will help get it in but won't help to level it out. He said I'd need max 2 people but speak to others since I'm being told I'm massively underestimating the amount of effort it takes and will need many more. I've currently got about 4 people arranged.
Current plan was to make a couple of levelling sticks out of cls that could be dragged, tapped on surface. Anyone have any advice, never done anything like this before.
PS I've a laser level but not sure how best to make good use of IT? Was thinking of setting it up in a corner and just marking a length of wood to determine correct height.
PPS: the slab will be covered with insulation then self level screed so doesn't need to look pretty but does need to be pretty level.
Cheers
