Steps for Building Strong Foundation of Your Home
Constructing a strong foundation for your home will ensure it is durable and long-lasting. So if you want to build a strong house foundation construction, then there are a few important steps involved, and we at Dwayne James General Contracting have listed them below.
Step 1
Site selection
This is the first step to building strong foundations. First, finalize the plot area based on what your requirements, location, ground condition of the plot is. Make sure that you determine the soil condition of your plot. Many times it will need a special foundation or treatment as the soil may not have the load-carrying capacity required, or has some adverse properties that will weaken the building foundation in the future.
Step 2
Excavation work
This is the next step, as you will need to carry out a survey of your land in order to obtain a layout plan. Make sure to mark all pillars, trench excavation lines pertaining to the center lines of walls. Make sure the excavation is performed by a contractor. In this context, you will need to hire a contractor to carry out the excavation of the foundations once you have checked out their credentials.
Step 3
Anti-termite treatment
This is an important step that is needed to protect your building and foundations from possible termite infestation. The soil around the foundations must be treated up to the plinth level using all the appropriate chemicals. This anti-termite treatment is a specialized job and needs to be executed by a specialized agency only. They should be a member of a known Pest Control Association.
