TOTAL SCOPE OF WORK

This project has two phases. Phase one for developing land buildings which has 9 different types of
land villas, and phase two proposed for developing over water villas

Project scope includes substructure works for land building and over water structures, construction of
wall and internal partition, floor and wall finishes, supply and fixing of doors and windows, roof
construction and Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works.

The schedule of building given below

Phase -1

Phase-2

All the excavation shall be mechanically carried out and foundation shall be column footing. As
contractor we propose hollow block for external wall and internal partitions for land and over water
villas. Normal plaster and paint wall finish shall be adopted. For openings wooden and glass panels
and frames shall be used. Timber roofing shall be used to construct roof of all king kind of buildings.
SUBSTRUCTURE WORK (LAND VILLAS)

Excavation

1. Scope

This describes a proper work procedure shall be carried out during the excavation stage as per
specification and contract drawings

2. Work Procedure

I. Excavation

 The area to be excavated shall be properly marked and clear before starting the works.
 The depth of excavation shall be periodically checked by a surveyor to avoid over
excavation. the bank of excavated area shall be sloped 30 degrees and shall be
maintained to avoid a collapse of the bank into the excavated area.
 All excavated material shall be kept a minimum of 1.0 meter from the edge of excavation
or shall be stockpiled to the area designated by the Engineer.
 For all excavation activities, adequate safety barriers, sign boards, advance warning signs
would be used.
 For foundation, as soon as the excavation reaches the required depth/elevation the
surface shall be leveled and shall be compacted to 95 % of maximum dry density or MDD.
 Before the compaction starts, it shall make sure that the excavated level is free from
standing water or excessive moisture content.
 Inspection would be conducted during compaction for checking and approval of the
Engineer.
 The compaction test report shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval prior to
proceed succeeding work.
 Anti-termite treatment would be conducted prior to start blinding works but make sure
the anti-termite material is approved by the Engineer.

II. Back filling

  After completion of the compaction under blinding, tie beams and ground slab.
Backfilling shall commence using similar excavated material. Care shall be taken to
remove bolder, vegetation and any other deleterious materials.
 But prior to backfilling, the compacted surface shall be accepted by the Engineer.
 The thickness of the back fill shall not be greater than 300mm.
 The sub-grade once approved, the excavated materials or any material source approved
by the Engineer shall be placed in layers not more than 300 mm thick followed by
compaction test when the surface level is ready.
 In-situ dry density test (compaction test) shall be performed at the rate indicated in the
specification.
 Back filling followed with compaction shall continue till final level is achieved.

3. Equipment and Tools

 Excavator
 Pay Loader
 JCB
 Six Wheel Truck
 Bob cat
 Shovel
 Total Station
 Meter tape

Foundation footing

1. Scope

The purpose of this Method Statement is to describe the measures and ways of completing concrete
pour work for footings on this project. The works shall be carried out in compliance with the drawings
and project specification.

2. Work Procedure

I. Reinforcement
  Some footings are composed of top and bottom reinforcement, the bottom bars shall be
supported with concrete block or spacer of correct thickness.
 Inspection Request (IR) would be submitted for steel reinforcement for checking and
approval of the Engineer prior to concrete casting.
II. Casting
 Make sure that the area within the shutter to be poured with concrete is cleaned.
Remove all rubbish, dirt, and any other deleterious material via air compressor.
 Inspection Request can be submitted to the Engineer or Consultant for approval of fixed
steel reinforcement and installed forms, if casting shall not take place on the same day.

 Readymade concrete shall be provided from batching plant approved by the Engineer.
The rate of concrete supply shall be 30 to 50 Cubic Meter per hour.
 The required number of concrete pumps will be available on site; extra pump will be on
standby ready for any incident circumstances.
 Concrete vibrators shall be ready to use at time of receiving concrete. Number of
vibrators shall be depending on concreted area to improve well compaction for concrete
pump.
 Computerized delivery ticket shall be checked for conformity as per the approved design
mix.
 Slump and temperature shall be carried out from each concrete truck mixer.
 Slump shall not more than 150mm and not less than 100mm as per Engineers instruction
and approval. Temperature of fresh concrete shall not more than 30 deg. Celsius as per
BS Standard.
  All data required for daily concrete schedule sheet will be recorded in the daily concrete
pour card.
 Concrete at truck mixer shall not exceed more than 90 minutes from leaving batching
plant.
 On acceptance, mix shall be directly unloaded in the concrete pumps. Care shall be taken
to make sure that concrete mix is not dropping from more than a height of 2 meter.
 Concrete when introduced to the footing at first level of 400mm shall then be vibrated,
the same shall be done for the succeeding layer of concrete until footing top level is
reached.

 When concrete reach proposed level; hand trowelling should carry out to get a smooth
surface according to the top footing level.
 When the concrete is cured it shall then be applied with water proofing system in
accordance to the specification.
 For approval: Inspection request would be submitted to the Engineer or Consultant for
the concrete pouring approval.

SUBSTRUCTURE WORK (OVER WATER VILLAS)

BLOCK WORK

1. Scope

This procedure provides a method of control of construction of block masonry work in order to achieve
compliance with the contract specification and drawings.

2. Work Procedure

 Before work begins ensure that dimensional setting, levels alignments of all openings are
properly check, coordinated with MEP and responsible for the true and proper setting out work
as per indicated design drawing and reference grid lines.
 Block should not be damp at the time of starting masonry, when much water is present on the
block then mortar will become watery leading to a weak masonry. The blocks should be semi
dry or skin wet.
 First layer will be solid.
 Carry out one row of block work with “Dry bond” (i.e without mortar, lay the blocks in position),
the wall to establish proper spacing of blocks.
 Lay mortar for full bed width and for a length of three blocks at a time, and to 10mm thickness.
 Maintain a clear gap at head of each wall or partition as specified for head restrains to
accommodate slab deflection
 Excess mortar coming out on the edge (while pressing block in position in bed mortar) to be
taken by trowel and buttered to the cross directional joint or head joint surface of the next
block being laid.
 Mixing plant, tools and banker boards shall be kept clean at all times and accurate
volume/mixes proportions shall be followed, ingredients shall be mixed thoroughly to a
consistency suitable for the work and free from lumps. Mortars containing air-entraining
admixtures shall be mixed by machine, but not over mixed. Ratio shall be 1:5 (1-part cement
and 5 parts of sand)
 The thickness of courses shall be uniform with courses horizontal. Use straight edge and spirit
levels on top of the blocks laid and set the top level. Make sure that the spirit is in working
condition and read the bubble carefully
 Allow stiffener columns when area of blocks exceeding 12m, except instruction by client.
 Allowing approved shrinkage compensating material on the top surface of block which directly
touches the beam bottom and slab.
 No part of wall during construction shall raise more than one and half meter above the general
construction level
 50mm lean concrete shall be casted on all window sills. External window opening sills are
sloped outside to prevent water coming inside
 Construction sequence for villas shall follow according to below picture

1.
 200mm RCC kicker shall be casted on slab
 Lower part of block layer shall be laid
 Mid beam and lower part of column shall be casted
 Higher part of block layer which touches slab or beam bottom shall be laid including lintels
 Finally, slab shall be casted including higher part of column
