The Construction Works Involved
The work involved in this exercise can be completed in a few days if the weather conditions during this period will be conducive to work in. The construction works can be narrowed down to the following steps:

1. Marking
We begin by marking the outline of the concrete wall on ground. By laying stakes, we are able to establish straight defined lines.

2. Foundation
The next step is building the foundation for the concrete wall. The foundation which is entirely composed of concrete is supposed to be a bit wider than the width of the wall. In a case where the concrete wall is to be built on an already made slab, mortar is spread on its surface to a thickness of an inch. This is after the slab is cleaned.

3. Building the Concrete Wall
Having established the initial layer of mortar, we set one concrete block at a time in the same line. The mortar which might be in excess in some areas is omitted using a trowel. The initial line of blocks may be below the floor just above the wall’s foundation or may be on the existing slab. After the first line is set, a second layer of mortar is laid above the blocks with a second set of them following suit. This is a repetitive process.

4. Shaping Concrete Blocks
At some instances, concrete blocks will need to be trimmed into the desired shape and size for them to properly fit. Our working team is well specialized for this course thus avoiding incidences of creating flaws in these blocks.

5. Reinforcement
On a day where the concrete wall will require reinforcement, this will be easy to conduct. The joint between the walls will be filled with fresh mortar after the old mortar is removed. However, you should brace yourself for it is a messy job.
