CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

Project Name: AMAIA Escapes VISMIN Single Home 60

A. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
a. The contractor will carry out all activities necessary to complete the project as per
contract requirements. The Site Engineer will be liaising with the head office and
will follow the guidelines set by the company management and will report the
project progress through the project manager/ management coordinator. The
contractor shall provide his workers, free of charge, personal protective equipment
for their eyes, head, hands, and safety belt or harness whenever necessary by reason
of the hazardous work as prescribed by the provisions of the Construction
Occupational Safety and Health. In order that the site can operate efficiently and
safely, site facilities are laid out properly to provide adequate welfare for workers.
The contractor shall provide the maintenance of essential equipment and supplies
that will be used on site.

B. SITE DEVELOPMENT
a. Layout – Batter boards are used to ensure the level and squareness of the house and
should be placed after the foundation lines. Nylon string is then used to indicate the
edges and corners of the foundation.
b. Excavation and Backfill – Excavation is carried out manually by means of pick
axes, crow bars and shovel. The soil is excavated 300mm surrounding the wall
footing and 80mm at the floor slab and shall be compacted properly. All appropriate
excavated materials must be used to create the structure's embarking and backfill.
c. Gravel bedding to SOG and wall footing - The contractor must compact the gravel
that was placed in the foundation and SOG's excavated area, and the engineer will
check to ensure that it is in accordance with the designs and specification.
d. Lot leveling – A level hose is used to provide accurate elevation in comparison
between multiple points like post or stakes so that the structure is even and correct
with the supervision of the site engineer.
C. FORMWORKS AND SHORING
 Formwork is designed to temporarily contain poured concrete and mould it to the
required dimensions and support the concrete until the concrete is able to support
itself. The materials used is should be clean and free of any debris to prduce smooth
and consistent texture on the concrete and it is composed of ordinary or
Phenolic/laminated plywood.
 Formwork and shoring should be designed by the engineer assigned and erected
according to the engineer’s drawings. Erect, support and brace the formwork and
shoring so it can withstand all loads and forces likely to be applied to it without
exceeding the allowable loads established by the engineer and without causing
uplifting, sliding, overturning or lateral displacement of the system. The engineer
should inspect the formwork and shoring before the concrete is poured. The
formwork and shoring should not be removed unless the concrete is strong enough
to support itself and any loads that may be applied to it or the concrete is adequately
reshored. Acquaint all the workers with the hazard and control measures associated
with their work and provide the information and instruction necessary to ensure
their health and safety. Enforce the workers with safety rules, programs and
procedures and the workers must be trained to use formwork and shoring including
erection and dismantling methods.

 Concrete shall not be dropped from a height exceeding 1.5 meters and vibration of
concrete shall be thoroughly worked against the formwork and around the
reinforcement: successive layers shall be thoroughly bonded together during
vibration. Compaction of concrete shall be carried out by mechanical vibrator to
expel air bubbles dring the mixing and casting. Care shall be taken to avoid over
vibration which can cause segregation, surface laitance or leakage through
formworks.
