Building process

The building construction steps for any type of construction include the following.

1) Preparing or leveling the ground:

The construction site must be cleaned before work can begin. This task involves the removal of trees, debris and roots of the flat land area.

2) Digging and pcc:

The foundation of the building is excavated according to the house plan. In this foundation trench, a layer of PCC (plain cement concrete) is laid in the dug-out portion before placing the reinforcement to the foundation.

3) Foundation:

The entire building rests on the foundation. This is the lowest part of the building which is in contact with the soil. The superstructure of a building starts from the soil and must be extremely strong to handle the load. The foundation reinforcement work is initiated after the PCC work.

4) Plinth Beam and Slab:

Plinth beam

After the foundation work is completed, the ground beam framework is started to be prepared and poured with concrete. Over the plinth beam, masonry work is undertaken. And the space between the foundation and the plinth beam is filled with soil.

5) colunm (kolam):

The colunm is the part above the floor level of the building. The main part of the superstructure is a column and beam. The colunm slabs are built up to the level and the frame is designed for further construction.

6) Brick Masonry Work:

Masonry work is started after the column and beam framework, with various materials for building construction such as bricks, concrete blocks, fly ash bricks etc. Masonry is done using cement and sand mixtures. It is a mixture of cement and sand. During this, blocks for doors and windows are kept carefully during masonry work and according to the house plan.

7) Lintel Level on Door Window:

On this, lintels are made on the door and window to strengthen the masonry work. This is followed by further masonry work.

8) Floor slab or roof construction:

Then the framework is started to construct the slab on the column and beam. Above the slab framework, the slab reinforcement is placed according to the rcc drawing.

9 Electrical and Plumbing:

As we know, buildings are constructed in a clean manner with no part of the electricity and pipeline visible. They are installed in walls and slabs in such a way that they do not appear outside and. The electrical point and the end of the pipe are left outside so that they can be terminated later with electrical fittings and faucet.

10) Exterior Finish (Plaster):

Once this work is completed, the external plaster work is started. Waterproofing is also done to prevent increased moisture in the wall. The look of the exterior is created with the help of house front elevation design.

11) Roofing:

Above the slab, waterproofing is done to prevent any leakage in the slab. Typically, tiling is used to prevent slabs from leaking water.

12) Interior Finishing:

The interior walls are plastered and tiles or stones are used on the floor. Later, the walls are painted.

13) wood and fixture fittings:

By following the above step, almost the construction work is completed and then the furniture work is started. Beside, electrical fittings, switchboards, and tap fittings are also complete in bathrooms and kitchens.
