Interior walls : -

Darker shades may require an additional coat for proper hiding. The actual shade,
especially for darker shades, can be observed only after the film is dry and not in
the can or in the wet state.

Felt rolling is to be done only for Royale and Luster finish. The darker shades are
never to be felt rolled since this will cause foaming due to presence of more
surfactants in them.

Solvent based paints (those using thinner other than water) should be given twice
as long a drying time than given here in case of high humidity climate like
monsoons.

Putty can be applied to make the substrate smoother; however, it has to be

sandwiched between 2 coats of primer.

 Carpet Area is the area enclosed within the walls, actual area to lay the carpet. This
area does not include the thickness of the inner walls. It is the actual used area of an
apartment/office unit/showroom etc.

Built up Area is the carpet area plus the thickness of outer walls and the balcony.

Super Built Up Area is the built up area plus proportionate area of common areas such
as the lobby, lifts shaft, stairs, etc. The plinth area along with a share of all common areas
proportionately divided amongst all unit owners makes up the Super Built-up area.
Sometimes it may also include the common areas such, swimming pool, garden,
clubhouse, etc. This term is therefore only applicable in the case of multi-dwelling units.

..

Carpet area is the actual usable area which the user gets to use. Built-up area consists of
area outside your house, staircase, elevator, etc which can constitute upto 25% of the area.

Example if you buy a 1000 sq.ft built-up area, you will actually get to use only 750 sq.ft.
Super built-up is area for the parapet, podium, garden,etc, all of which is charged at market
price and can constitute upto 40% of the area.

It is ILLEGAL to sell property at anything other than carpet area because while
developing the land, the developer is not charged FSI for the built-up area, garden, parking
space,etc. So if anyone is charging you for anything other than carpet area you have a right
to complain to a redressal forum like consumer protection.

1. Carpet area - The actual area you use. The area on which you can put a carpet.

2. Built up area - Carpet area + area of walls and ducts. Around 10% more than the
carpet area. A terrace is considered as half the actual area for calculating built up area. Some
projects charge dry terrace same as internal rooms.

3. Super built up / Saleable area - Built up area + markup for common spaces like lifts
and stairs. Usually 25% more than the built up area.

Scope of the work:

Survey for top levels
Excavation to approved depth.
Dressing of loose soil.
Making up to cut off level
Constructing dewatering wells and interconnecting trenches.
Marking boundaries of the building.
Constructing protection bunds and drains

( 50 )
Working Procedure

The extent of soil and rock strata is found by making trial pits in the construction
site. The excavation and depth is decided according to the following guidelines
in the site

i. For Isolated footing the depth to be one and half times the width of the foundation
ii. For adjacent footings with clear spacing less than twice the width (i.e.) one and
half times the length
iii. 1.5m in general and 3.5 m in black cotton soils

In this site open foundation pits for columns and trenches for CR Masonry was
carried out. The maximum depth was upto 3m.

Setting out or ground tracing is the process of laying down the excavation lines and
center lines etc. on the ground before the excavation is started. The center line of the
longest outer wall of the building is marked on the ground by stretching a string
between wooden or mild steel pegs. Each peg may be projected about 25 to 50 mm
form the ground level and 2m from the edge of the excavation. The boundary is
marked with the lime powder. The center lines of other walls are marked
perpendicular to the longer walls. A right angle can be formed by forming 3, 4 and 5
triangles. Similarly, outer lines of the foundation trench of each cross walls and are
set out

Removal of Excess Soil

Estimate the excavated stuff to be re-utilized in filling, gardening, preparing roads,

etc.As far as possible try to carry excavation and filling simultaneously to avoid double
handling. Select and stack the required material in such a place that it should not
obstruct other construction activities. The excess or unwanted material should
immediately be carried away and disposed off by employing any of the following
methods.

Departmental labour.
Tractor.
Trucks.

QUALITY CHECKS FOR EXCAVATION

Recording initial ground level and check size of bottom.

Disposal of unsuitable material for filling.
Stacking suitable material for backfilling to avoid double handling.
Strata classification approval by competent authority.
Dressing bottom and sides of pits as per drawing with respect to centerline.
Necessary safety measures observed.

( 51 )
QUALITY CHECKS FOR FILLING

Recording initial ground level

Sample is approved for back filling.
Necessary marking/ reference points are established for final level of backfilling.
Back filling is being carried out in layers (15cm to 20cm).
Required watering, compaction is done.
Required density is achieved.

Brick work :
Working Procedure

All the bricks to use in construction are soaked well in water so that they dont absorb water
from the mortar.
Mortar is spread on the top of the foundation course over an area to be covered by the edges
of the wall. The corner of the wall is constructed first.
The excess mortar from the sides will squeeze out, which is cleaned off with trowel. The level
and the alignment are checked.
If the brick is not in level, they are pressed gently further.
After having laid the first course at the corner, mortar is laid and spread over the first course
and the end stretcher is laid first and hammered it on the laid mortar.
Perpends must be kept vertical. This should be checked, as the work proceeds with the help of
straight edge and square.
After having constructed the wall, jointing and pointing is done.
