Rough construction Guide: Everything You Need to Know

Rough construction is the most critical stage, forming a building's load-bearing skeleton from foundation to roof and defining its safety. Full compliance with the structural project and soil survey is essential for an earthquake-resistant, durable building.

Start With a Soil Survey

Before excavation, a soil survey determines bearing capacity and foundation type; skipping it raises the risk of settlement and cracking.

Right Foundation Type

On weak soils, a raft foundation spreads the load over a wide area; on firm soils, isolated or strip footings may suffice.

Rebar and Concrete Class

Rebar diameter, spacing and concrete class (e.g. C30) from the structural project must be followed exactly; missing steel lowers capacity.

Vibrate the Concrete

If poured concrete isn't compacted with a vibrator, voids (segregation) remain and strength drops significantly.

Don't Neglect Curing

After pouring, concrete must be kept moist for several days; proper curing prevents cracking and reaches design strength.

Plan Infrastructure Channels

Leaving plumbing, drainage and grounding channels during rough construction avoids later concrete-breaking costs.

Advantages

Structural Safety: Rough construction true to the project keeps the building safely standing under earthquakes and loads.

Long Lifespan: Correct concrete, rebar and curing let the structure last decades with minimal maintenance.

Solid Base for Finishing: A straight, plumb frame eases later plastering, insulation and finishing and improves quality.
