Edge beams sometimes miss the extra bottom bar they need. We also find edge rebar sitting hard against timber formwork with insufficient concrete cover.

We use a gauge to check the distance from the steel to the formwork. It is a specific measurement against the engineering drawings.
Wide beams need more steel at the bottom to stop them from cracking. This detail is on the approved drawings.
We usually spend about an hour examining the reinforced area.
No, the concrete covers everything. It must be done beforehand.
