Refer to the final layout drawing prepared with reference to the actual
demarcation, set back adjustments, final levels and other development works
Check if the site is cleaned and leveled properly by cutting or filling
Start the layout with the help of ‘Total Station’ or any other survey instrument as
given in the specification
Mark the road widening line with respect to the actual boundary wall after proper
measurement
Mark the set back distance from this line and clear margin distance on any other
side with respect to the boundary wall
Locate another point at the distance of setback distance on the other end of the
plot along the road
Set the instrument at the first point and bisect this point, this is the tentative
setback line
Now check the distance between the setback line and road widening line it should
always be less than the original setback distance, if not shift the line inwards till you
get the shortest distance
Now turn the instrument @ 90° to this setback line and mark a point on the other
boundary line
Now check the distance of this line from the left side boundary wall, this should
not be less than the margin distance
If required shift this line to get the minimum side margin everywhere
Now these two lines are the final boundary lines at right angles to each other
Mark the points on these lines at the distance equal to the width of the buildings
Shift the instrument to these points and get the other corners of the building
Measure the required distances as per the layout plan and locate the actual corners
of the buildings at site
Cross check the distances and diagonals of the buildings
Check the minimum side margin distances with respect to the other side of the
boundaries
Construct the pillars @ 2.0 meters away from the building corners from either
side of given size and height above G.L
Finish the top of the pillars smoothly with plastering and painting it white with
red markings which can be used for individual building layout
Fix steel bars at the corners of the buildings for future references
Get the layout approved by architect before proceeding further
1. Excavation
Ref. Drawing no.
Check the layout marking as per the given drawing
Study the soil strata details based on the trial pits and other tests performed at site
Check with the consultant regarding the bearing capacity that is used for design
Incase of foundation drawing ask the consultant/architect to issue foundation
drawing incorporating the center line plan in order to cross check the overlapping of
foundation, orientation of foundation etc.
Make all the necessary arrangements required like dewatering pumps (of
sufficient capacity), shoring arrangement (incase of black cotton soil), vehicles for
shifting of materials, safety, electricity etc.
Get all the approvals required from the local authority for cutting of trees, shifting
of service lines, dumping of materials in public property etc.
Marking to be done as per the given drawing
Check for the orientation of the building with the given north line and the required
margins to be left on all sides after the marking is done
Once the above is cross checked start the excavation to the required depth
depending on the type of strata and the method to be used as specified in the
specification
Keep the necessary margins in order to facilitate the construction activities
Display proper signage’s and flags in order to take care of safety measures
Note down the levels and bearing capacity at the required given points of the
strata and get it approved from the consultant
Remove all the loose excavated materials and clean the pit
Sufficient lighting arrangements to be made if the work is to be carried out in
night
