Week 12: Final Construction Order


I have researched and elaborated in detail the correct construction order of the building elements and processes of the two different construction models. I have asked a few builders in the area of the order of some elements I was unsure about. I have highlighted any issues i am unsure about in the model. This will then be given to the modelling guys to clarify and sort out layers.

Timber Model
1.     Site Clearing
2.     Excavation of the rear slope
-       Excavate flat working site
-       Excavate sloping site at a 30 degree batter (no shoring required)
-       Excavate footings for retaining wall (Strip and pad footings)
3.     Construct formwork if needed (depending on ground type, we will assume no)
4.     Concrete preparation
-       Place waterproof membrane
-       Place reinforcement supports (Chairs)
-       Place reinforcement (bars and cages made up for the strip and pad footings, all to structural engineers details.)
5.     Pour Concrete for Strip and pad footings
6.     Place minimum 100 DIA sub soil drain with geo-fabric sleeve and surround with aggregate. Connect to storm water system (AG line needs to be below the ground level of FSL if there is a slab on the low side of the retaining wall.)
7.     Build block retaining wall (which will tie in with reinforcing bars set into the strip footings
-       Place reinforcement
-       Pour concrete
8.     Place waterproof membrane onto the retaining block wall
9.     Backfill with Course granular fill
10.   Bolt Post Anchor to the pad footings by the bottom plate.
-       Drill bolt holes
-       Clean holes
-       Fill holes with epoxy (One bolt secured with epoxy can hold 15 tonne each bolt)
-       Place Rod into hole with epoxy
-       Place nut and washer, tighten and grind excess rods to top of nut
11.  Fix Timber Posts to Anchor with bolt connections
12.  Fix Post cap to timber post
13.  Fix timber bearers to timber post
