✔ Concreters, easier & faster to screed & finish the slab , no pipes in the way!

✔ Lay mesh easier & safer during preparation without pipes being in the way whilst carrying, laying & cutting mesh around them.

✔ Achieve a better FFL due to no pipes being screeded around & no bending over & hand troweling around them to get them flat during the finishing process.

✔ This aids the tiler, whose bathroom & wet areas are drastically flatter to start with before the tiling process starts. No grinding or leveling needed.

✔ The framers can easily flick chalk lines to start the framing process. They can drag pre-fab frames over the slab without breaking pipes. Drastically improving their setup/build time.

✔ Scissor lifts can easily drive over slabs with multi-story builds.

✔ Leave screed buddy on the pipes during the build process, until they are ready in each room to fit off. Stops debris & rubbish getting stuck in pipes, stop broken pipes before the plumber gets to site.
