Construction Steps of a House-Part 2

This video shows the construction procedure of a house from plinth beam level to Roof level

The Location of this house is in kerala, India

It includes-

Plan of column-35cmx21cm column

Steel reinforcement works of column (pillers)
-6 no. of 12mm dia bars,
-8mm dia stirrup at 15cm c/c distance,
-Steel from below connected with new -steels and raised to required height.

Extra steels provide for connection with lintel,Paper pieces folded for easy identification after deshuttering

Setting out done - edges marked in cement sand paste

Starter(shoe) for proper arrangement of column shutter

Starter shutter removal

Column shutter
-Made of woods or sheets
-Made according to the shape of column.

Verticality check-Two wood pieces of eqaul dimension and rope with weight is used
When woods comes parallel- It is vertical
or using plumbbob.

Shutter fixing using supports and nails

Column concrete
-Water the inside of formwork
-cement slurry poured for good bondage
-concrete mix poured using bowls
-compacted using rod or vibrators

Column formwork removal - after 24 hours

Curing of column- atleast to 7 days. Preferably to 14 days

Different types of Architrave fixings
-Wood door window frames, concrete door window frames etc

Termite proof materials and wood primers for wood frames
Steel primers for the steel of windows

Cleaning of place of activity

Mark the position were door frames comming

Rope laid through the frames and connected to block for good fixing

Verticality checked using plumbbob

All doorframes fixed.
-To check level of doors - Levelling apparatus of small hose with water inside is used.

Hold fasts are fixed for connection with masonry

Masonry materials- Cement blocks , bricks, latterites etc.

Size of Latterite used- 33cm x 19cm x 21cm

Setting out, cleaning, watering

Cement mortar applied

Latterate laid with small gaps.
-cement mortar filled in these Joints using trowel
-applied on sides for good bondage

Levelling staff and plumb bob used for levelling

Masonry laid in stretcher bond pattern

Window frames placing, levelling, fixing

Space given for alamaras comming inside wall.

Ventilation fixing

Lintel with Thickness 15 cm
Steel-4 no. of 8mm diametre bars with stirrrups

Steel in the column is taken out using chisel for connection with linel

Lintel formwork made
-gaps between them are closed for leakage of slurry

Berth slab is also in connection with lintel

Concrete of lintel and berthslab

Laterite above lintel

Construction of Pargolas

Small spaces leaved above for air movement

Stair case
drawings some are straight steps and some are round steps.
-Rise-16.6cm
-Thread-27.5cm
-width-90cm

Positions marked according to plan -
shutter made.

Cardboad pieces used for getting proper round shapes

This is stair case starting from first floor so we connect stair case steel to roof steels of ground storey

Concrete of staircase
Metals used in it -Three by four inch (3/4) or one by two inch(1/2) or a mix of them

Jute bag laying for curing
curing 21 days

Construction of retaining wall or Rcc walls
-for withstanding load comming on one side of building

Roof beam and roof slab drawings

Form work of roof beam done first, then roof slab
Material used-Jack and prob, woods, bamboo sticks, sheets etc

Gap between shutter sheets closed to prevent the leakage of slurry.

Steel placed above cover block
-Tied using binding wires (MSW)

20mm pipes laid
-for passage of electrical wires

Fan hooks and boxes are laid
-Pipe openings given to below after covering with insulation tape

Concrete mixing in the mixer
Concrete comming in RMC (ReadyMix Concrete) vehicle

Concrete placing, mechanical vibrator application
Measured wood (10cm is thickness of slab) used for correct thickness

Use of straight edge to struckoff excess concrete
Wooden floats used to embed course aggregate into it firmly

Use of trowel to smoothened it

Small bunds made for curing
-Curing done to 21 days.
