In the world of construction, knowing isn\'t enough, doing is what counts. A person can know all the codes, specifications, and standards in the book, but if they don’t understand how it plays out on a real-life site, mistakes are bound to happen. That\'s why construction techniques and tutorials are critical to transforming ordinary knowledge into practical, site-ready skills.

At WeConstructHub, we recognize this gap. And we’re on a mission to close it by delivering relatable, on-site-inspired tutorials for students, young professionals, artisans, and even project clients who want to better understand what’s happening on their sites.

🧱 Core Areas Every Construction Professional Should Master

1. Foundation Works – Starting from the Ground Up

The foundation is literally the base of every structure. Yet, many overlook the techniques that ensure a safe and stable foundation.
Tutorial topics include:

• Soil Investigation: Learn how to test soil bearing capacity and interpret reports.

• Setting Out: How to transfer the architectural plan to the ground with precision.

• Reinforcement Fixing: Understand how to read structural drawings, tie bars, and ensure cover.

• Formwork & Casting: Proper shuttering techniques, concrete pouring, and curing practices.

✅ Why It Matters: Mistakes at this stage can lead to cracks, settlement, or even structural failure.

2. Blockwork & Walling – Getting the Lines Right

Walls are not just partitions—they define the structure, carry loads, and influence finishes.
Tutorial topics include:

• Types of Bonds: English, Flemish, and stretcher bonds and when to use them.

• Alignment & Plumb Checking: How to keep walls straight, level, and square.

• Mortar Mixing Ratio & Application: Avoid weak walls or excessive mortar wastage.

• Lintels & Openings: Installing for doors, windows, and MEP service lines.

✅ Why It Matters: Neat, strong blockwork reduces plaster thickness, enhances structural strength, and ensures beauty.

3. Roofing, Plastering & Finishes – Protecting and Perfecting

The roof protects. The finishes complete the story.
Tutorial topics include:

• Types of Roofing: From corrugated iron sheets to parapet concrete flat roofs.

• Plastering Techniques: Internal vs external, ratio mix, curing, and screeding.

• Painting Prep: Proper undercoating, wall putty, and paint finish choices.

• Tiling, POP & Wood Finishes: Learn how to read finishing plans and supervise quality work.

✅ Why It Matters: These finishing works are what clients see. Good execution boosts project reputation.

🎥 Why Tutorials Matter More Than Ever

While textbooks give definitions and formulas, tutorials bring those words to life. Seeing someone set out a foundation, measure and cut a reinforcement bar, or mix mortar with the right ratio provides clarity that books alone can\'t give.

At WeConstructHub, our upcoming video tutorials will feature:

• Real-life site demonstrations

• Narrated step-by-step guides

• Voiceover explanations in both English and Pidgin (for local artisans)

• Free downloadable templates and checklists

Whether you\'re learning how to supervise, estimate, or build with your own hands—these tutorials are made to guide you from “I think I know” to “I’m sure I can do it.”
