Work is such a big thing, so full of details, but so complicated that we don't even know where to start. And that's one thing that people don't usually explain. This text explains, at least in part, the walkthrough, with some tips on what materials to buy at a time and what to look for during each step.
Initial Steps and Foundation
A poorly laid foundation, and babau, you will have a cracked house, unable to withstand a renovation that involves building a higher floor, or even serious structural problems that can effectively condemn the house. So do not try to make thoughtless savings at this stage. The first steps will simply be fundamental to the rest of the work.
After clearing the terrain (measure number one), see if landfill gaps need to be corrected
Remember to keep the ground whenever possible above street level to prevent rainwater from entering it and flooding your future home. In addition to tossing the earth, you need to compact it very well. Often landfill sellers work closely with someone who has a steamroller. Simply click here now when it comes to the plastering now.
- Install the light point, that is, the "little house" where is the consumption meter clock and the main circuit breaker of the house. This is not exactly cheap, especially because of the wires and the connection to the street lamp. The list of materials required, apart from the obvious brick or washed sand or cement, can usually be found on the state electricity company's website.
Enjoy the visit to the electrical store and buy, in addition to the materials required for the house, also a tripolar circuit breaker, electrical tape and cable, at least 10mm, divided into three pieces equivalent to half the length of the ground. This extra material will then be required to connect equipment such as a concrete mixer, compactor, drill rig or foundation, etc.
The Company Hiring Processes
Hiring a company that specializes in field surveys is critical. In fact, this must have been done even before the design phase of the house, but if you bought new land and want to take advantage of a project that was already done, you may need to redesign the foundation project. It is such a company that you can discover the characteristics of the terrain, and the survey report is the basic information for the calculating engineer to define the most appropriate foundation type. The cost of a survey is approximately R $ 800 (2006 values in Brasilia), which is not exactly cheap, but it is very worth considering the risks of a poor foundation.
Knowing the type of foundation that will be used, it is necessary to take, with the calculating engineer, the RT engineer or the construction worker, the quantities of the materials that will be used, and buy them - basically, washed sand, cement, gravel and irons of different sizes. Usually, because of the low quantity, it is not advantageous to buy machined (ready) concrete. Therefore it may also be necessary to rent a concrete mixer to mix the concrete.
