Foundation Shuttering

[jamo30]

Hi there, hope everyone is well Just quick question and hopefully straight forward We have recently put in foundations at concrete mix rc35 for a new house and was wondering how long we have to leave the concrete before moving the shuttering?

You could move it after 24 hours if you wish.

We leave shutter boards for longer, at least until the concrete has hardened, say a week. This will help prevent any unwanted knocks occurring at the edges where it will be vulnerable for a short while.
