HOW TO BUILD CONCRETE STEPS ON A STEEP SLOPE
On a site where you’ve got repetitive stairs to build, I always made a plywood template to layout the stairs with. Just locate your top and bottom critical points. Then lightly fasten the template to the wall and mark it out. Much easier and faster than marking each step one at a time.
In the US, we used to have to put a hole in the block wall, to get the form work out afterwards. It was a real pain. Sometimes if the inspector didn’t question how it would be stripped, we would just leave it.
How deep should the rebate be under the step mate? I’m doing some; I was thinking 20mm gap and wasn’t sure how far under the step it should go
You can do it any size you like. It looks best if it’s 20mm high and about 100mm deep
You are suppose to strip the forms and mag out the risers to get any honeycomb out and any of that cream that gets trapped under the forms
Yes and no. Depends where you’re from, people don’t really like that look here
Awesome work guys, thanks for sharing, it's great to see good workmanship, well done, can't wait to see the next video. Cheers 👍
Have enjoyed watching your videos. Watching your videos gave me insight as to how to form my own privacy / garden wall (39’Lx8’Hx10”W) using 3x4” lumber supports, and HDO plywood sheets. The only difference being that I didn’t use any wall ties👌 …scrapped them after doing tons of research, and finally muscling up the nerve to risk forming my wall without using them. Poured the wall 5 days ago, and aside from a few minor scares…though the lateral pressure caused the forms to bulge some, we had zero blowouts!😅 I am planning to remove the forms tomorrow / Wednesday (EST)👍👍 Thanks again for the amazing content - not sure if I would’ve taken this project on by myself had I not stumbled upon your videos - first class content👌 Be well🙏
Find me on instagram BMFormwork and msg me some pics
You'd also have to scarify the treads and use bonding agent this will only last in your weather conditions in aussieland
Hopefully they did when they installed the reo
This can all be mono poured at once why to have two pours and risking cold joint cracking.
G'day mate, thanks so much for the video, exactly what I'm looking for as a DIYer! Quick question, what is the purpose of the 30 degree bevel on the underside of the riser, and which way is the bevel facing?
Can you do it in sections to save on formwork?
Yes however pump and concreter costs will out weigh the formwork.
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 im building only 1000 sq foot basement, i guess its better to form the whole thing at once then. I have lots of room, i was hoping to pour without a pumper.
If we want to do a wall in smaller sections i know you have to extend rebar and put holes in the form but does the new pour just bond to the edge of the section thats hardened?
Joints never look great. Hard to seal because so much pressure. Concrete leaks look bad. Also will never be the same colour. When they make the concrete all it takes is for the sand to come from a different part of the quarry or a different brand of cement of country of import ect ect and you have a different colour.
Hey mate, awesome video! How the little bits go that were nailed into the concrete coming out? Is that where strip lighting was mounted?
Yeah it wasn’t great getting them out. Better way is to pour every second step
Bring back your channel
Thankyou man your videos are really helpful to me as a building student. thanks much really appreciate you effort.
Holy Jesus!!! It is at least 20x harder than i expected. I was planning to build (kind of) a castle by myself ... I almost cried when I realized how hard it's gonna be. 🤯😥
Any more videos comming out bro??
Dude, this is such a good video. I'm an owner builder and none of the learning materials covered suspended slabs as thoroughly as this. I'm so glad I found this vid
Thanks so much
Mate i am an aussie that lives in Costa Rica.. and if you came here you would clean up. Almost every construction job here uses standard pylewood for their casting. It never looks perfect.. and i swear they dont know how to mix concrete properly because there is always rocks in it
We’re cleaning up here mate!
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 stoked to hear man
Awesome clip mate great work. 👍 keep them coming
Thankyou
Do y'all also do the rooftop out of concrete ? and if not, can you ?
Yep done a few. Waterproofing is a bit scary though. Concrete cracks so it’s not great for roofs
Isn't that bump-fire setting how people end up nailing their fingers to the wall? All it takes is a little bit of rebound ..
Yep, I’ve had a few close ones but I’d rather have bump mode than not have it. It allows you to do so many more things.
"This house is here forever" I like that attitude. Too many houses now are built for 50 years and it's expected they'll be torn down after that. It's wasteful to tear them down, but I've lived in houses that were past their best before and living in them is horrible too. We need to build houses for the 500 year span, not 50 years. There are plenty of houses in Eurasia that are more than 500 years old and still lived in, so we know it's possible - we just have to think a whole lot about how to make it possible for the houses we're building now. They should be lived in 500 years from now, and they should be pleasant and comfortable to live in 500 years from now.
100% people round here change their mind too much, but yes most houses here get demolished after about 50years. It is a huge waste of resources!
What laser level are you using there? Looks good for outdoor use.
Geofennel. I now have a hilti. Hilti is better
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 PM 30-MG? Brighter outdoors?
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 which Hilti are you using now? PM 30-MG?
Were these stairs wet finished or stripped the next day? Im guessing they wouldnt be able to be finished without the stringer being taken down, to get one side of the riser out. For a same day wet finish would you just cut the risers with a 17mm gap on either side?
Yeah but no one wet finishes here. I don’t really like the look of wet finished, yes it’s sealed up better but you don’t get crisp corners. I know it is possible and guys can do it but generally you guys bullnose it all and it’s never perfectly straight.
Hammering those bolts across the corner, you should have hearing protection. My rule of thumb on a build site is that when I turn 100, I want to be able to hear my great-grandchildren singing me Happy Birthday. That means looking after my hearing now!
We all have and wear hearing protection, I supply my guys with iso tunes aware pros so we can have ear protection and still communicate. if we aren’t wearing it it’s because we took them out to film some scenes.
What type of concrete mixture are you using?
Changes depending on the job
Love your work 🤙
Thx
top !!!!! doing this in the same way in south america
Find me on instagram under BMFormwork and send me some pictures!
5:40 What are cleats? Where do i buy those in the US?
Mate, I'm from South Australia, I'd like to build my house like this, in a few years time.
Concrete is the way to go! I'm not a fan of the off-form finish. I want the outside of my house to be prettier than that .. and my kids have inherited the family history of fainting in hot weather, so I want the inside walls to be finished in plasterboard with an air gap behind it so if someone falls against it they break the plasterboard and not their skull. Behind the plasterboard and the air gap, though, I want something that is going to last, and the acoustic and thermal performance of concrete is pretty attractive too.
Admire your work, you make it look easy but I know this is so hard to do. Do you request any special mix to the concrete?
Thanks. Yes we do
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 you mind sharing the mix?
I’d like to do something similar, but it’s not so much the form work that phases me, but more the vibrating of the concrete so you get a great face and no voids. Any tips on this aspect?
Hire a pro
Great video, What size LVL's are you using?
are you using rebar as your bolts ??
No. The bolts are threaded high tensile bar. Rebar is neither
Good job

How do you stop water moving through the walls?
I think I explain it in one of my videos. But when you grout up the holes they seal up thanks to the shape of the conduit and cones.
I think there would be a whole lot of ways to set that up, and I'm just figuring it. Maybe just start with a lot of steel I beams permanently installed first, then lay the sheeting on top of that with 4 to 6 inch aircrete for weight reduction, and primarily rely on steel strength for structure, but I'm just guessing.
Cranes are and haulage are expensive. Every region does things differently, and people try many methods here however this is the most popular way where we are so it must have its advantages!
Beautiful work. great attention to detail. an architect's dream :)
A lot of waste and not very efficient materual use... Without a crane, NOE aluminium formwork types are ideal. A lot of his formwork is none-reusable, very expensive. And his work platforms are totally unsafe.
This video is like seven minutes and you state eleven minutes in the title, I think you’re lying lol
Ha ha. 7 steps in 7 minutes then
@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 If anyone did 7 steps in 7 minutes then those would be some pretty crappy looking steps lol.
Very cool video though and helpful, I do it a bit differently but I learned a few new tricks thanks to you, the trades are all about learning.
this is excellent, THANK YOU
What kinds of plywoods are used for curved walls and stuff?
What would you use a combi gauge and angle finder for can uou give an example please?
I explain it in the video briefly. We do jobs with lots of angles and rebates and use odd size materials. So the job I just did last month I used my angle gauge multiple times every day. It’s so small that I can always have it on me because it is something that you will use at very random times. The combo gauge I don’t use as often, mostly because I don’t have a great place for it in my belt, but when I do carry it I actually use it a lot.
@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 thanks mate love your work should be proud look forward to seeing more work very unique
Hey what brand laser is this?
Geo fennel
Amazing mate!
You’re amazing
Are you Sydney based by any chance?

Hope so brother
Jeepers, that's a lot harder work than I hoped! Looks like better left to the experts.
This is an easy one!
love your videos my man 💪 just wondering what's the laser model you're using there for the stairs?
I use a hilti
