Brick In-fill The concrete framework is filled in with two layers of brick. The holes for windows and doors are supported by concrete frames. The outer layer is later cladded with cement or plaster to protect the facade from rain.
Tiled Pavements Nala Sopara suffers from the lack of urban planning and thereby a very poor infrastructure. Many of the streets and pavements are unpaved, while others are paved by using different tiles and paver blocks together. The pavements therefore represent the practice of using what is cheap and available as well as the pure function, rather than the aesthetic value of the tiles and blocks.
Wooden Casting for Columns After making the concrete plinth the concrete columns, beams and floors are constructed. The mould used for the columns are made from wooden plates screwed to wooden slats. On every side of the steel reinforcement rods that stick out of the plinth, one of these wooden plate is placed. The plates are anchored to each other by steel bars or wooden slats. To keep the moulds up right, they are joint together by wooden sticks.
