In Assam, the best time for construction is after the monsoon, which lasts from September to March. Houses constructed after the monsoon or in the winter will be of higher quality than those constructed during the summer or monsoon.
How Rains Impact Your Construction Work
The monsoon season brings with it a slew of new challenges for a construction work. In Assam Rains frequently interrupt or delay the timetable and/or harm the quality of construction if rain precautions are not adopted.
During the rainy season, once the concrete is poured, it should be covered quickly to prevent direct rain from damaging the finish and increasing the water-cement ratio, which reduces the strength of the concrete.
It’s also difficult to define building joints if concrete activity comes to a halt due to severe rain. Only after the poured concrete has reached its ultimate setting time may the concrete pour be resumed.
Also, where preparing a building joint is not possible, treating set concrete and fresh concrete joints. Although the monsoon season / rains aid in the curing of concrete structures once they have hardened, the above-mentioned issues nullify the advantages of building dwellings during that season.
