LEARN HOW TO LAY BLOCKS HERE

EDU BUILDING PROJECT IS OUT TO TEACH YOU EVERY THING ABOUT BUILDING

 Line your blocks with your line

 Get the level.

LEARN HOW TO LAY BLOCKS

Start mixing as instructed. The first course of blocks should be installed below floor level and inside the foundation trench. This first line of concrete blocks shall rest on top of a layer of mortar mix. Spread mortar along the sides of the block and remove the excess mortar with a trowel.

Repeat until the first course has been installed. Check the course with a level. Then, even it out with a thicker layer of mortar, if it is not. For best result make sure there is a 3/8 inch gap between the blocks. This gap will then become the vertical joint.

Installing the Second Course on a Concrete Block Wall

Repeat the action performed in the previous step to add another course of blocks.

Blocks can be set in such way that will create an interlocking pattern meaning that the ends of one course of blocks sit above the center of the blocks beneath them. Keep installing blocks and try to install no more than six courses per day. Allow the mortar to set completely before continuing to lay concrete blocks. Once the mortar is hard, remove excess mortar and smooth the joints.

HOW TO ESTIMATE A BUILDING PROJECT

How to Estimate a Building project / Construction Job

• SAVE

Construction estimates are developed to determine how much it will cost to build a project according to a set of plans. They are completed by architects, general contractors, and developers both during design and before the project is awarded for contract. While some larger companies may use commercial estimating programs or software, most people still complete estimates by hand, or using spreadsheets. Most estimates are broken down using codes, or divisions created by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI). CSI codes break the job down into sections based on the trades and materials involved. There are 16 major CSI divisions used in a basic estimate, from Division 1(General Conditions) through Division 16 (Electrical Work). Using these divisions helps the estimator organize the job and makes sure that all costs are covered.

Step 1

Review the entire set of plans and specifications before you begin. Get a picture of what the job will look like, and make sure to compare the specs to the plans in case of discrepancies. Read the scope of work to determine if there are any special conditions or allowances you need to include.

Step 2

Break the project down by division. Many people like to use the 16 divisions provided by the CSI codes, but other systems may work too. Start with site work, or Division 2 (Masonry), and work your way through each aspect of the job. Do a material take-off for each division to determine square footages and the like. A take-off involves measuring the length, width, and depth of each space to determine total quantities of concrete, brick, drywall, and other materials that will be required to complete the job.

Step 3

Determine what materials you will need to complete the job, including equipment rentals and any required tools or supplies. Always give yourself a buffer zone when it comes to materials. For instance, if you calculate that you will need 5,000 square feet of drywall to complete the job, include enough money in your price to cover 5,500 square feet, just in case.

Step 4

Calculate labor required to complete the project. This should be done by division, but should also include laborers, cleanup, and management or supervisory hours.

Step 5

Include costs included under general project conditions. This includes temporary office space, communications, insurance, administrative tasks, and other related expenses. These costs, categorized under the CSI system as Division 1, include all expenses required during the construction process that are not specifically related to materials or labor.

Step 6

Provide an allowance for any items you may encounter that are not defined clearly. This could include excavation, unspecified finishes, furnishings, or equipment. Specify in your bid that you have included these allowances, or list them as alternates for the owner to review.

Step 7

Add all your estimated prices together, then add a percentage for overhead and profit. This number will vary depending on the size of the project and how competitive the bidding process is.

SEE HOW YOU CAN GET A GOOD BUILDER OR ENGINEER

 

Finding a good builder

To find a suitable builder, you should:

• ask family or friends for a recommendation if they had building work done recently.

• contact a local builders' association for a list of registered members
• ask two or three builders for estimates in writing, and ask them if you need planning permission for the work
• ask each builder for two or three references from previous customers - and contact these people and find out how happy they were with the work and the builder's conduct (if possible go and view some of the work)
• make sure the builder belongs to a respected trade organisation with membership standards
• check the builder has current membership and has the required health and safety training
• have a written agreement or contract with the builder, outlining the work to be done, finish date, security and safety, catering and lavatory arrangements, disposal of waste materials, working hours
• ask to see the builder's public liability insurance certificate
• contact your insurance company as the building work may affect your home and contents insurance

Deposits and payment

You should only pay a deposit if:

• the work needs specific or custom-made material
• the work will take a long time to finish

If you're paying in stages, it is important to agree a written payment schedule.

Builder doesn't charge VAT 

If the builder offers you a VAT free deal, one of two explanations apply:

• the builder isn't registered for VAT because they do less than £85,000 of business a year
• they're avoiding paying VAT

You need to decide if:

• the builder is equipped to finish your work in the agreed time
• the builder will be in business if the work needs repair
• you have a valid contract when there is no proof of payment

Trustmark scheme

The scheme:

• makes sure traders who sign up are qualified to do building work
• has a complaints procedure
