Powered by AIThe mode of measurement and payment is based on one square meter, measuring the length at the middle of the width for both vertical and horizontal surfaces, and not along the molding itself. Width is measured flat, and the area is worked out correct to two decimal places of a square meter. Plaster covered by moldings is considered part of moldings, and not included in surrounding plaster .
The length of surfaces is measured at the center width of applied moldings for both vertical and horizontal planes, and width is measured on the flat, not along moldings. The area is calculated by multiplying length by width, correct to two decimal places of a square meter, excluding the area under moldings from surrounding plaster calculation .
Brick work cornices are treated as part of the brick work itself when prepared with cut bricks and plaster. Payment terms reflect this by including it in the comprehensive item cost rather than as an individual component .
The provision for cornices includes not just cornices, but also coves, molding ribs, and architraves, constructed in cement plaster ranging from 6 mm to 40 mm thick as shown in drawings or directed by the Engineer. These may involve cut bricks and the accurate reproduction of designs .
For cement finish, a thin layer of Portland cement slurry is applied to the plastered surface while the second coat is fresh. Neeru finish requires adherence to specifications detailed in item No. Bd.L.10, indicating specific techniques not enumerated here .
Two-coat plaster is specified for surfaces where a sturdy finish is needed, such as on concrete, brick, or stone, in multiple positions. Measurement and payment are calculated per square meter, and detailed standards ensure even layer application and accuracy in coverage .
When no finish is specified, the plastered surface should be rubbed to an even plane with a wooden float for external surfaces and finished smooth with a steel trowel for internal surfaces .
Molding dimensions and shapes are determined by detailed drawings or direct specifications from the Engineer. These must be accurately reproduced in the plasterwork up to a maximum thickness of 40 mm. The plaster molds must occupy the correct positions with precise dimensions for proper finishing .
The "General" sections across different specification items (Bd.L.4.1 and Bd.L.5.1) clarify the application processes, thickness standards, and additional clauses such as adherence to detailed drawings, scaffold inclusion, and curing requirements. They ensure consistency and adequacy in plaster applications, especially regarding thickness and coat sequencing .
The basic thickness of cement plaster is specified at 20 mm, excluding any cement or neeru finish. When a cement finish is specified, a coat of pure Portland cement slurry 1.5 mm thick is applied while the second plaster coat is still fresh . Neeru finish specifics were referred to item No. Bd.L.10, implying a distinct procedure not detailed here .
