Immediately it is worth noting that the concrete floor pouring price per square meter, which can be different( depending on the material and complexity of the work) - it's not an easy thing and if there is no proper experience or understanding of what is to be done - it is better to use the services of the construction team.

- Cleaning of the area, which will be poured with concrete.
- Removing the old concrete layer.
- Preparation of a place to start work. You need a clean cover, cleaned and fully prepared.
Only after this you can go directly to the most difficult and interesting stage of work.

The technology is as follows:
- The base must be waterproofed.
- Thermal insulation
- Reinforcement
- Installation of "lighthouses"
- Roughing of the floor with concrete

- Filling for leveling screed
