This course addresses the needs of unskilled and semi-skilled persons undertaking general concreting projects including home and handyman projects. Concrete Basics also assists owner builders in the supervision of construction. It aims to develop an understanding of highly technical terms through clear definition accompanied by simple illustrations. A general understanding of these terms will help to facilitate communication within the building industry. It will help to generate a higher standard of workmanship on-site and facilitate better communication among construction workers, builders, engineers, building surveyors, architects and anyone interested in understanding the processes involved in making quality concrete.
