Cast in place concrete

Cast-in-place concrete is a technology of construction of buildings where walls and slabs of the buildings are cast at the site in the formwork.[1] This differs from precast concrete technology where slabs are cast elsewhere and then brought to the construction site and assembled.[2] It uses concrete slabs for walls instead of bricks or wooden panels, and formwork is used for both walls and roof.
