 Prior to concrete we need to clarify the below items

Reinforcement and shutter including the levels need to verify with the drawing. Make sure all the MEP services are kept in place as per drawing( if any).

Concrete mixer need to verify as per approved design, also concrete slump need to be verify,

All the equipments ( like vibrator, cube mould, thermo metre etc) and man power need be ready.
