Site Clearance
The very fi
rst step is site clearance w hich involves rem ovalof grass and
vegetation along w ith any other objections w hich m ight be there in the
site location.

Survey and Stake O ut Footprint

This step is generally com pleted by a professionalsurveyor
w ho w illcom e out and determ ine the appropriate distances
from the property lines.This ensures that the building w ill
start out correctly and to code.The corners of the building
w illbe m arked using surveyors stakes.Then the surveyor
w illplace of s
fet stakes about tw o feet out from the
surveyors stakes.The digging for the foundation w illbe
done using the of s
fet stakes as the guides.This allow s for
extra room so the exterior foundation w alls can be w orked
on.

Excavation
H ow To B uild a B uilding Foundation
A structuralengineer w illbe needed to determ ine the depth
of the excavation.A llsurface soilneeds to be rem oved to
expose the soilthat is com pacted enough to bear the w eight
of the building.The depth w illvary per building.The top of
the footing m ust be below the frost line as this prevents the
concrete from cracking w hen the freeze-thaw cycle occurs in
the soilsurrounding the building.

Footings
Isolated Footing
A footing is a poured concrete pathw ay thatis used to spread the w eightofthe building from the foundation w alls to the soil.They are w iderthan the
foundation w alls thatthey are supporting and form the perim eterofthe building.In som e instances,there are additionalfootings added inside the
perim eterto supportload-bearing w alls.

Sub Slab
G enerally,plum bing lines are run from the street to the
buildings basem ent by going over or even under the
footing.This is even the case for buildings that have their
ow n individualsew age facility or drain fi
eld.These lines are
covered w ith a poured concrete slab.

CONCLUSION

It was a wonderful learning experience at shopping mall and

offices construction site of BL Kashyap & Sons Ltd. for six
weeks at Fazilpur, Gurgaon. I gained a lot of insight regarding
every aspect of site. I was given exposure in almost all the
departments at the site, but I had liked to highlight the areas of
safety, quality management, material management and
execution.
I hope this experience will surely help in my future and also in
shaping my career.
