All You Need to Know About Stages of Construction

Islamabad: The procedure of creating a structure is the same for both low- and high-rise structures. Every project requires careful and comprehensive planning and design. You need to make the appropriate design for your construction project and comprehend the construction process if you are prepared to begin building. Pre-construction, construction, and post-construction are the three phases that make up this construction process. The most well-known company in Pakistan, Al Sadat Marketing, is building its largest project, Lakeshore City, with grade 60 steel and the best concrete available to guarantee a secure and safe development.

3 Construction Phases

The three phases of construction are listed below:

Phase 1: Pre-Building

The initial phase of building is called pre-construction. During this phase, the contractor, design team, and client collaborate closely to provide comprehensive pre-construction drawings, timelines, budgets, and labor estimates.

The following are the key elements of the pre-construction phase:

Approval from Legal Authorities

Before beginning construction, the landowner must obtain the relevant authority’s consent for the project and the land.

The legal authorities in Pakistan are the CDA, LDA, or RDA, based on the city in which your project is to be constructed. Al Sadat Marketing is pleased to report that RDA has authorized each of its multipurpose projects.

Acquiring Land 

Purchasing land is essential to the development of buildings. When purchasing land, you should concentrate on:

Make sure the land is properly positioned in a location that meets the needs of the project and that it is free of any land-related problems.

Prior to beginning construction, assess the project’s cost-effectiveness.

Initial Meeting

The initial meeting between the general contractor and the client to discuss the needs and vision of the customer as well as the overall project kicks off the pre-construction phase.

The following are the main points you should concentrate on during the first meeting:

• In order to get everything clear in the beginning, all parties must specify the project’s goal and pose any questions they may have.
• The contractor will assess the project’s viability, the extent of the work needed, and its overall cost.
• The contractor will establish the project deliverables and lay up a timeline to begin the building’s “Construction” after hearing everything.

Budgeting and Estimating

Following a fruitful first meeting, the contractor is free to visit the building site and create a design and layout. There are significant material budgets and costs associated with building construction.

Therefore, following careful design and structural detailing, the building will likely cost the following:

• Labor 
• Materials 
• List Equipment

Schedule

After the contractor has completed the construction site visit and the project scope, it’s time to create a project timeline. Given its impact on project costs and profit margins overall, it is in fact the most important component.

Phase 2: Constructing Structures

It’s time to start building the construction when the pre-construction phase is complete. The project comes to life during the building construction phase. Now, from site preparation to construction, every contractor and subcontractor is required to carry out the plan.

The main components of building construction are listed below:

Site Setup

An area is ready for construction when it has undergone site preparation. It makes clear what more repair or demolition work needs to be done before building construction may begin.

Clearing a site includes:

• Eliminating trash
• machinery and apparatus
• Unwanted items
• construction

Beginning with excavation, the construction process continues until the outside and interior finishes are finished.

Excavation 

Excavation After the area has been cleaned, excavation can begin. The process of removing dirt to create a hole in the ground is called excavation.

According to the material removed, excavation might be categorized as

• Topsoil
• Muck
• Earth
• Rock or another type of excavation

Foundation

Now that the site has been cleared and dug, work may begin with the pouring of the foundation stage. Furthermore, the foundation conveys the weight of the building to the earth as the lower portion of the substructure.

It is constructed in accordance with the architect’s plans, which will establish:

• Length
• Width 
• Depth 
• Size 
• Type

Building structures are frequently constructed on concrete foundations. The location’s soil composition and water table level influence the foundation decision.

Framing

Installing steel beams and wood frameworks to support a building is called framing. Since it lays the foundation for the remainder of the building, it is an essential part of the construction process.

Masonry 

You have to get to work on the masonry when the framing is finished. The material used—bricks, concrete blocks, or ash brick—will be decided upon by the architect’s plans.

Using a cement mortar mixture, the masons bind the construction elements, allowing space for the doors, windows, and doorways.

Al Sadat Marketing is aware of how important it is to create a home that makes life safe and secure. As a result, they are building their project of Lakeshore City with grade 60 steel, which has 60,000 PSI, and the highest quality concrete, which has 5000 PSI.

Plumbing and Electrical Work

Plumbing and wiring must be installed beneath walls, ceilings, and floors as part of the planting and electrical work process. Notably, just the rough work has been done to allow for the installation of plasterboard, insulation, and ceilings; the electrical and plumbing work has not yet been finished.

It is important to note that this step guarantees that plumbing and electrical work will not be visible after completion.

Roofing

After the foundation is completed, the roofing is put in. The inside will be shielded from the elements by the roofing, avoiding damage and disturbance.

It is crucial to make it clear to the contractors at this point when they can begin working on the building’s exterior.

Exterior Finishing

During the construction stage, Plastering the building’s exterior walls and external cladding is part of the exterior finishing process, which elevates the property.

In addition, the electrician will install the light fixtures and complete the outlets.

Woodwork and Fixture Fittings

The construction is about finished at this point. It’s now time to finish the plumbing fixtures in the following areas:

• Toilets
• Doors
• Kitchen
• Cabinets
• Windows
• Bathrooms

Sealing with water

The technique of waterproofing a building lowers humidity and keeps it dry by keeping water from entering the structure.

Painting

Painting the building is the final step in the building process. In addition to providing the house with a lovely finish, painting shields it from stains, rain, dirt, and sunlight.

Phase 3: Post-Construction Phase

The last and final stage of construction before the structure is turned over to the client or owner is known as the post-construction phase.

The final walk-through and punch list item completion are part of the post-construction phase. It is important to note that a punch list is a list of all the requirements specified in the contract that a contractor needs to complete in order to get paid.

The principal elements of the Post-Construction Phase are listed below:

The Walk-Through

It’s time for the crew to go through the building after construction is finished to make sure all project parameters have been followed. If the architect is happy, a certificate of satisfactory completion will be given. 

On the other hand, before the local government may grant a certificate of occupancy, the necessary supervisors must attest that the building satisfies the standards of the local authority.

Transfer of ownership

The building, including with all the operation manuals and plans, can now be turned over to the owner by the contractor. Additionally, the owner is given plenty of time to make sure they feel comfortable using every feature of the new building.

In conclusion, as it guarantees that no detail is overlooked, an efficient building construction process is essential to the accomplishment of any construction project. Thus, begin building your ideal home right now, taking into account the aforementioned phases, and then lead the life you have always desired.
