Site preparation clears the way for other remedial or demolition work before starting to construct the building. Site clearing involves removing rubbish, machinery, equipment, and unwanted materials. Once the site is cleared, it is time for excavation. Excavation refers to the removal of earth to form a cavity in the ground.

The cleared and excavated site is now ready for construction, and the foundation can be poured.  The foundation is the lower part of the substructure. It transfers the building’s loads to the ground.

Framing is the installation of wood frames and steel beams to support the building. It is the crucial part of building construction as it sets the groundwork for the rest of the building.

Now that the framing is complete, it is time to begin the masonry work. The architect’s drawings will determine the material used: ash brick, concrete blocks, or bricks.

Exterior finishing involves plastering the external parts of the building. It also involves external cladding to elevate the house.

The final walkthrough and the handover of the completed building.
