Understanding BMC C2B Category: Major Repairs Without Evacuation
Major Repairs Made Easy: No Evacuation Required
Receiving a C2B structural category is a huge relief for housing society members compared to C1 or C2A notices. A C2B grade indicates that your building requires **major structural repairs**, but the overall framework is stable enough that residents do not need to vacate their homes during the work.
Typical C2B Repair Scope:
- External Plaster & Spalling Repairs: Chipping away loose exterior plaster, treating rusted reinforcement bars, and rebuilding concrete profiles.
- Beam & Column Strengthening: Applying structural wraps, micro-concreting, and pressure grouting to non-critical load-bearing elements.
- Terrace & Chajja Restoration: Overhauling waterproofing and securing dangerous overhead ledges.
At Urban Civil Services, we execute C2B repair projects with minimum disruption to daily resident life, utilizing staging safety nets and clean working protocols.
