The construction of the house begins with the foundation
The construction of the house always begins with the foundation. Also, one of the main factor for the construction is the landscape design of the site, do not forget to carry it out before the start of construction. But a good site does not always come across. So, for example, there are sites in the soil zone that pass very close to the surface, and with small sand, which forms floats. In such situations, the best option would be to create a continuous foundation. Of course, this is not the cheapest option, but it will be the most reliable.
After the bulldozer removes the upper layer of the earth, the leveling should be made. In order to get a flat surface, it is recommended to use a rail and level. Then, on the leveled area, the basis of the future formwork is chopped. With the help of boards, the so -called sandboxes are made, which are filled with large -grained sand. The sand is abundantly watered with water and thoroughly compacted to such an extent that there are no shoes prints on the sand. After that, around the perimeter, formwork racks are dug up in an upright position. Racks must be additionally strengthened with slopes. Next, you need to lay out the rods of the reinforcement by preliminary marking.
Then concrete is poured. Since it will need a large number, it is recommended to use a concrete mixer. The concrete is poured, and is evenly distributed by formwork. The horizontality of the foundation is determined by the sides of the formwork, which should be set in level. Next, you need to align concrete with a long wooden rail, the work of which is recommended to be carried out together. After solidifying concrete, the foundation is ready for further construction of the house.
