If you have already decided where you will build your house and whether it has a zero floor, the first thing you make a water column, you will need it a lot to build a basement and the whole house. It is necessary to dig a pit according to your plan about 2 meters in depth, while it must be taken into account that the excavator must dug soil somewhere to pour out somewhere. If you started building early in the spring in the process of digging, you can find water and therefore pump it out or wait until it leaves for yourself.
After the excavator’s work, you still have to trim the walls, corners and bottom of the pit. The next step is to lay a pillow made of concrete. At the bottom of the pit, you need to mark the places where the walls will be and dig with a trench with a depth of more than 30 cm, strengthen the walls of the trenches with boards and pour their surface with gravel. Next, lay iron rods in the trench, and you can use a grid between them, and pour concrete the entire area of the building. After, be sure to water it with water and let it stand the pillow for about 3 weeks, and if the weather is warm and dry 1 will be enough.
The basement can be built from the foundation blocks, lay them around the perimeter of the house and in the places of the load -bearing walls with a cement with each other, leaving openings for windows, doors and communications. Raising the walls to the required height, they can be covered with slabs on top, before making a belt on top of the blocks consisting of concrete and reinforcement. After laying them, you can proceed to the construction of the walls of the house.
