Layout of Building

Layout of Building The real meaning and purpose of setting out (layout) is to transfer the plan, length and width of its foundation on the ground so that the foundation can be excavated for construction of purposed building as per drawing. The following preliminary works should be executed before actual planning of layout for the house. Clear the site from all grass, bushes, trees, etc. Record spot levels of the ground. Construct a permanent bench mark in construction area. Base Line For setting out /layout, the most important requirement is to establish a baseline. This is marked on the ground as per site plan requirement with the help of offsets which are taken from the existing road or existing building. Centre Line Centre line divides the plan into two equal parts. This can be marked in the field with the help of baseline. This line is very necessary and useful for layout. This line should be transferred to Burjis and be kept up to the completion of foundation work.
