How to flatter the construction site: what to take into account

When planning the creation of the foundation for your home, you should first smooth the construction site, preparing it for marking. The shape and dimensions of the basis of the structure are exhibited using pieces of reinforcement with a cross -sectional diameter of 10 mm, pulling a fishing line between them. Diameters of the diagonals must be measured with a tape measure. Their dimensions should fully match. The next stage of work called «Development of a foundation pit» is a stretch of fishing line on the outer side of the marking. After it is completely ready, you can start digging a pit. Its depth should exceed the level of freezing of soil layers. It is important to post the level of the bottom of the pit, so that it is strictly horizontal. To check the degree of its evenness, it is necessary to use the water level. As a “pillow” under the foundation, a layer of sand, uniformly distributed and tightly compacted. It is designed to soften the load on the lower part of the base of the house in case of soil swelling. After you fully prepare the foundation foundation pit for the foundation, you can start creating the formwork necessary to fill the concrete solution. For this design, you should use a chopping board, due to its smoothness and evenness. The height of the formwork must mandatory exceed the same filling indicator. As for the preparation of concrete, the optimal option is to order a finished solution delivered to the construction site in special mixers. Since the length of the tray in such machines is a maximum of 3 m, it is necessary to prepare the access roads for this transport leading to each corner of the found foundation. Especially for this purpose, it is worth ordering such a service as the removal of construction waste remaining after clearing the site, as well as the land removed from the foundation pit. Otherwise, the access of the Mixer machine to the construction site will be blocked. As the formwork is filled with concrete, it is necessary to compact it with a special deep vibrator. Otherwise, it is possible to form air bubbles that reduce the strength of the structure. A concrete solution should reach a fishing line stretched as an indicator of the upper level of the foundation. After the formwork is completely filled, you should thoroughly level the surface of the foundation. For this purpose, you can use the trowel. Such actions are needed to facilitate further construction work.
