First step, ensure right slight fall towards edge of balcony. This is important so that there is no water ponding at the balcony particularly during rain.
Second step, ensure drop (between residential floor and corridor floor) is constructed as per architect drawing. For this project, the specified drop is 100mm.

Then the next work is doing spot peggings of mortar. The level of finished residential floor is used as reference level for drop. So these peggings will be used to make sure finished levels of cement render correct.
mortar spot peggings are prepared to provide correct levels during cement rendering
After that on the surface of the newly laid cement render with mixture of cement, sand & water, cement powders are placed on the surface before smoothen by trowelling. This is final surface of the cement render at the corridor.
