    Very poor and cheap way of installing a floor, some form reinforcement is needed eg. brc wire mesh. The days of cutting out walls to run conduits are over, that's extra cost u can easily avoid, run all your conduits when the blocks are been layed. Many of the trade men in Jamaica are stuck in the old fashion ways of construction.

  • @amoyag9202
