Custom Properties in Cyprus: Gallery 2

In these photos, you'll see the second stages of my custom property's construction; building the foundations, ground beams & floor slab.

Now the preliminary work is complete, the property's ground beams and floor slab are constructed from reinforced concrete. Note that unlike the properties shown in the luxury properties section - my custom property is built with proper foundations constructed from the honeycomb of ground beams you can see in the photos below.

In Cyprus, they use wood to construct the formwork and the steel is now in place, in readiness for my property's sub-ground beams and slab to be poured.

The concrete is poured gradually from a delivery lorry into a hopper at the back of the concrete pump.
Compacting the villas concrete footings Concrete Compaction


As the concrete is pumped into the formwork, it is compacted with a vibrator. This ensures that any voids that may occur during the pumping process are filled.

When the concrete is cured, the formwork is removed. The concrete is smooth, free of voids, with no rebar protruding.
Damp proofing ny Cyprus villas foundations Damp proofing


To prevent damp getting into my Cyprus custom property's foundations, they are coated with a latex-based waterproofing compound. It looks like a thick, black paint and as you can see, work on this has already started.

The floor slab has now been poured, compacted and levelled. This forms the base on which the rest of the property's constructed.
