Setting out a Building

This video shows how to go about setting out the position of a building on your block of land.

This is my second attempt at uploading this video the first one cut a couple of minutes off the end.

Just wanted to thank u for ur videos; setting out, two peg test, height of collimation and the others, they were crucial in my Cert IV. Most appreciated.

I am planning to construct my own house here in India. No college here teaches such practical stuff. Though I hold a degree in civil engineering, I could never know how to build a house practically. For the first time through your video I could understand how the layout of a plan is done :-)). Great stuff BuildSum, your sketches are so clear, a high school student can understand what is going on. Really appreciate your sharing of such important steps in starting our own dream house. It really helps. I hope you will upload more such videos after this following a sequence of building construction, especially simple residential buildings with 9 columns. Such practical education is lacking in India, just rut the books and get marks, that's all they teach here. ALL THE BEST.

Hi Buildsum,

Very informative video. I have learnt more about building set out in the last 22min than I have in the last four years of studying construction management at uni.

Thanks,
Anthony

Would love to see this exact process but using a theodolite instead. Hopefully, you can do one as your videos are great!

Hi higgi2005
Sorry if I have caused some confusion.
The brick wall in the video was shown to illustrate the relationship between the wall and edge of the slab or footing. It is however out of sequence for the method of construction. Once the slab is poured and given time to cure the Timber walls would be marked out, constructed and erected before the Brick Veneer wall is constructed.

Thanks for subscribing
