• STRAIGHTEDGE (ALUMINUM BARA)
• PLUMB BOB (HULOG)
• NYLON STRING (TANSI)
• NOTEBOOK AND PENCIL
CHB LAYING INSPECTION
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCK
(CHB)
The widely used masonry materials for all types of construction walls, partitions, fences, etc.
Concrete hollow blocks has three cells and two one-half cells at both ends having a total of
four.
Common sizes:
4” x 8” x 16”
6” x 8” x 16”
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCK
(CHB)
LOAD-BEARING BLOCKS – thickness ranges from 150mm – 200mm and
used to carry load aside from its own weight. The minimum net area
compressive strength required for all three weight classifications is 1900 psi.
(ASTM C90 – Standard Specification for Load-Bearing Concrete Masonry
Units)
Stiffener column, beams – provide for walls more than 3 meters in length and 3 meters in
height.
Lintel beams– on top of door and window openings. Provide at least 200 mm block-out both
sides of CHB for beam anchorage.

Lintel beams– on top of door and window openings. Provide at least 200 mm block-out both
sides of CHB for beam anchorage.
• Scratch Coat – In three-coat plaster, the first coat, which is then scratched to provide a bond for
second or brown coat. (Rebokada)
• Brown Coat – In three-coat plaster, the brown coat is the second coat. (Pasintada)
PLASTERING
• Finish Coat – The final coat of plaster, which provides the decorative surface. (Palitada)
PLASTERING CHECKLISTS
PRE - APPLICATION
REQUIRE THAT NEWLY PLASTERED WALLS ARE MOIST CURED FOR 7 DAYS (HOT
WEATHER)
ENSURE THAT NEWLY PLASTERED WALLS WERE NOT SUBJECTED TO EXCESSIVE
VIBRATION, GRINDING OR CHIPPING
ENSURE THAT NEWLY PLASTERED WALLS ARE FULLY CURED PRIOR TO PAINT
APPLICATION
REMINDERS
1) Standard Mix (1:3) or in reference to designers Specifications.
2) Using of plastering compound, wire mesh and expandable lath hybrid is optional.
3) Avoid a direct rays of sun for 2 consecutive days, this will cause dehydration – main cause of
alligatoring & hairline cracks
4) Mortar blasting that serve as base coat will help to accelerate plastering works.
5) Never to apply cement powder to accelerate work.
6) Repair any unexpected cracks in accordance to approved or standard technical procedures.
REMINDERS
For walls to receive paint
• Surface should be smooth finished, uniform in texture, and no visible cracks/kapaks due to poor adhesion.
• Finish and measure so gap at any point between surface and a 3m long straightedge, resting on 2 high
spots and placed anywhere on the surface, does not exceed 3mm
REMINDERS
For walls to receive paint
• Surface should be smooth finished, uniform in texture, and no visible cracks/kapaks due to poor adhesion.
• All corners should be square, and all lines are straight.
• Openings are leveled and sufficient inside clear dimensions.
• Finish and measure so gap at any point between surface and a 3m long straightedge, resting on 2 high
spots and placed anywhere on the surface, does not exceed 3mm
