12 Key Steps of Construction Supervision Services
Once the construction drawings and documents are approved by the relevant authorities, the client—through a consultant—awards the contract to a contractor. Construction then proceeds in the following 12 structured stages:
1. Clearing of the Ground
The initial step involves clearing the construction site of debris or obstructions. Temporary facilities such as engineers’ offices, labor quarters, material storage rooms, water and electricity supply, and a perimeter fence must be established before beginning construction.
2. Site Layout and Staking
Reference points and construction grid lines are set according to approved plans. Tools like theodolites or batter boards and strings are used, depending on project complexity. It is crucial to fix and maintain gridlines throughout the project to ensure accuracy.
3. Excavation
Excavation begins based on the soil investigation report. Typically, the minimum depth should be at least 1 meter below the gate or 0.00 level. If the excavation depth exceeds 1.20 meters near adjacent structures, shoring support must be provided for safety.
4. Compacting & Laying of PCC (Plain Cement Concrete)
After reaching the desired depth, the surface is compacted with crushed gravel and treated with anti-termite chemicals. A 10 mm thick layer of lean concrete (PCC) is laid in preparation for reinforcement installation.
5. Foundation and Column Starter Bars
Once PCC is completed, foundation reinforcement and beams are installed according to the structural schedule. Starter bars for columns must be placed accurately before concrete pouring.
6. Concreting of Foundations and Column Rebar Installation
Concrete is poured with adequate vibration to ensure it fully fills the formwork. Proper concrete cover (minimum 50 mm for substructure columns) is crucial to prevent corrosion from sulfates in the soil.
7. Concreting of Columns & Bitumen Paint Application
After the stub columns are cured, apply two coats of bitumen paint to the footings and columns to protect against moisture ingress.
8. Setting Up Perimeter Blocks
Install solid perimeter blocks to establish the boundary between the internal and external ground levels. Bitumen paint should be applied to these as well. In some cases, perimeter blocks may be optional depending on soil conditions.
9. Backfilling and Compacting
After completing the substructure, backfilling and compacting are conducted up to the tie-beam level to ensure structural integrity.
10. Tie Beam Reinforcement, Grade Slab, and Concreting
Following backfilling, install tie-beam reinforcement, formwork, and then concrete the grade slab as per the approved design.
11. Column Rebar Works and Concreting
Formwork, reinforcement, and concreting are carried out for ground-floor columns. Ensure vertical alignment and proper cover before closing formwork.
12. Beam and Slab Works
Reinforcement for beams and suspended slabs is prepared and installed. Shuttering is securely fixed before concrete pouring. This step is repeated for each level until the full structural frame is completed.
