For this amount of concrete, are you calling in a truck or are you hand mixing? Be honest.
What happens here
Begin by carefully pouring the ready-mix concrete into the prepared formwork. The concrete is typically delivered via a chute from a concrete truck or transported by wheelbarrow to the pour site. Once the concrete is in the form, use a concrete rake or hoe to roughly spread and distribute it evenly within the formwork. Aim to fill the forms slightly above the desired finished height, as this allows for proper screeding.
Goal: Fill formwork with concrete and distribute it evenly
