Building a Jamaican Home: Boxing and casting columns

welcome back to Building a Jamaican Home
Building construction is an ancient human activity that began purely from a functional need to provide shelter from the elements. Over time, human beings have adapted to a variety of climates. The first human shelters were basic structures that did not last long. 

The pre-construction phase includes acquiring land, strategic design, preparing budgets and estimates, acquiring licenses and permits, and hiring experts. The construction phase involves site preparation, excavation, foundation, framing, masonry work, roofing, interior finishes, and exterior finishes.

Finally, post-construction involves the final walkthrough and the handover of the completed building.
