Pour and Level Final Concrete Layer

What happens here

Once the steel reinforcement is in place, pour the rest of the concrete mix over the mesh, filling the formwork to the desired height. Use a long, straight piece of wood (a screed board) to level the concrete. Place the screed board across the top edges of the formwork and drag it along the length of the form, using a sawing motion. This action removes excess concrete and creates a smooth, flat surface. Any areas that appear low after screeding should be filled with more concrete and re-screeded until uniform.

Goal: After placing the rebar, pour the remaining concrete to fill the formwork and use a screed board to achieve a perfectly level and flat surface.
