Procedures

A. Assessing and Preparing the required Information

● Budgeting the expected cost - Creating a budget for the project's financial
requirements. It can help save time and money over the project's duration.
● Getting the right location - Choosing a location that will affect the value of the
property as well as the lifestyle. Though the location of this project will have no
effect on the fundamental benefits such as safety and protection, clients can still
choose which area best suits their ideal home.
B. Designing and Constructing the House
● Choosing a quality contractor or house builder - Choose the right contractor to
assist you throughout the construction process after the architect has done
refining the design and blueprints.
● Picking materials - The best materials for the project are already listed above.
● Prepare Construction Site and Pour Foundation - Eaves will protect the
foundation and siding of a house or structure, while a solid reinforced concrete
foundation slab with criss-cross strips, freely supported on an intermediate sandy
cushion, which separates the soils from the foundation slab, and the channels
are all part of an earthquake-resistant foundation. The column base will connect
the column to the concrete footing surface, allowing the structure's stresses to be
transmitted to the foundation, while Asbestos cement will fill the foundation.
● Complete Rough Framing - At this phase, every area of the house will be divided.
The shell (or skeleton) of the home has been built, which includes the floor
system, walls, tempered glass windows, and metal roof. It entails putting together
components made of wood, rebars, concrete, concrete hollow blocks, and steel.
Structural steel is the material of choice for constructing more earthquake-
resistant structures, such as shear walls and cross braces.
● Complete Rough Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC - Pipes and wires, Sewer lines
and vents, Water supply lines, Bathtubs, and shower units, HVAC ductwork,
HVAC vent pipes, electrical wiring, receptacles, and Active fire-protection
equipment such as fire sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and smoke-control systems
are all installed during this stage.
● Complete Drywall and Interior Fixtures; Start Exterior Finishes - The sheer wall
will be built and strengthened using ECCQ with HW Column Cap, HUCTF
 Hanger, SOS Screws, CNW Couple Nut, SSTB Anchor Bolt, Hurricane Tie,
Coiled Strap, and HDU holdowns. Contractors begin constructing external
finishes such as brick, stucco, stone, and siding while applying a primer layer of
paint after filling it with Asbestos cement.
● Finish Interior Trim - The walls are given a final coat of Fire Retardant Paints.
● Install Hard Surface Flooring and Countertops; Complete Exterior Grading -
Countertops will be installed as well as ceramic tile, vinyl, or wood flooring. To
ensure correct drainage away from the house and to prepare the yard for
landscaping, the outside finish grading is finished.
● Finish Mechanical Trims - At this phase, Light fixtures, outlets, and switches are
installed, as well as the electrical panel; HVAC equipment and registers are
installed. Sinks, toilets, and faucets are also installed.
● Finish Flooring and Exterior Landscaping - final cleanup take place.
C. Conduct Final Walk-Through
● Being observant and attentive at this stage is essential since it is an opportunity
to notice problems that need to be fixed or altered. Inspect the surfaces of the
worktops, fixtures, floors, and walls for possible damage.
