The next step is filling the concrete in the excavated trenches.
Usually, your building contractor informs the Gang Team to do this work. At the same time, 1 mason and a few of his labourers are present on the footing concreting time.
This is to ensure Pillars are straight while pouring concrete into the trench. After concrete dries, they cannot make changes.
After footing concreting, the next work is raising the pillar to the plinth level. This work is done before soil backfilling work is done.
You must dig the earth surrounding your site boundary to build size stone masonry work. This work is usually done by manual labourers, not with JCB.
If you try to do it with the JCB, the proper size won’t come, and the chances of pillars/footing damage will be there.
Once digging, you need to build size stone masonry work on all 4 corners of your site border.
Once size stone masonry work is done, it’s time for you to fill the soil back inside your site.
This filling back soil again is called soil backfilling.
A few things you need to remember:
If you fill excess soil inside your site, make space wherever the plinth beam will come. Then, PCC bedding will be done wherever the plinth beam will come.
Now, the barbender will prepare the plinth beam.
Centring team will do centring wherever the plinth beam comes.
The building contractor will pour concrete inside the plinth beam.
Excavation or digging of the earth is done after doing the site marking process.
As per the engineer’s plan, you need to excavate the earth for sump construction and pillar standing.
Excavation is usually done with the help of JCB.
Some of them prefer to use a manual labour process. If you choose to go with fully manual process, then it will get costly for you.
I recommend going with both JCB and manual methods. You will understand why in this article later.
Site marking is one of the beginning house construction activities done by your building contractor.
Once you finish Bhoomi/Gudali Pooja, you will do the site cleaning and leveling by JCB or manual labour.
If you already did this work before Gudali Pooja, you don’t need to do that again.
After all these activities, your building contractor will come to the picture.
Today is Saturday. It’s a vegetable shopping day for us.
What do I do?
I will be sleeping at that time.
ha ha…
Before I wake up, my brother and dad will usually go shopping. But I make sure I wake before they reach home ?
Okk…
Yesterday, our neighbour started temporary shed construction next to our house. That time, I remembered this point…
If you have not started your construction work, this tip is for you.
When you start your construction after doing bhoomi pooja, you usually immediately start the construction process and earthwork.
