Perimeter Wall Construction

These shots show the techniques used for perimeter wall construction in this project. The perimeter wall heights vary, up to a height off 2 m. There are support columns spread equidistantly at appx. 2.5 m. The columns are poured after and around the adjacent block work, with a 'tie in' piece of rebar crossing through the column. Color pigment was added during the application of the final render coat for a paintless surface.

Site Preparation and Management

Materials (as well as equipment) are kept out of the elements so they don't degrade. The grounds are initially treated for underground insects, such as termites.

Deep Water Artesian Well

The 6" bore holes were dug to a depth of over 30 m. A high quality franklin submersible pump is set in the bottom of each bore hole. The water flow rate was tested and easily passed the guaranteed minimum of 2000 liters per hour.

Footing HoleThe footings are dug out 1 m. square by up to 40 cm. deep depending on the slope of the land. As the ground beam will sit right on the footing, the footings are poured so that they are level.dozer

Diagonal Checks for Column PlacementThe correct placement of columns is important to the overall project to ensure that the wall angles are as they should be and the house is as designed. Often the only tool used is an external measure + the use of a small square. This shows one additional check, taken from the 3 4 5 triangle rule. If you measure 3 meters along one axis and 4 meters along another axis the diagonal should be 5 meters (or in this case 6, 8 and 10). This is done in addition to measuring the diagonals for equality.dozer

Color Render ExperimentationHere is some color render being experimented on a larger scale. This gives a better idea of how the final appearance will be.dozer

Pouring a ColumnThe columns are poured after the blocks are laid in place. Here a piece of metal is being used to vibrate the concrete into place within the formwork.dozer

Proper SquaringThe 3,4,5 is a redundant check to the diagonal check, but it can come in handy in certain situations where the diagonals cannot be easily accessed. I would note that most houses in Thailand are not 'square' because basic checks like these are not commonly done.dozer

Colored Render Coat being AppliedHere is the render coat being applied. This takes some trial and error to get correct with color render.dozer

Log SheetA log sheet is utilized to keep track of all materials and tools, indicating the amount received, amount used, purpose, by whom and associated date.dozer

Rebar Framework for Top BeamThe rebar used in the top beam is 2 strands of 9mm rebar with 'chain' sections to keep the bars equidistant.dozer
