The column foundation method offers enhanced structural stability for residential buildings. It plays a pivotal role in mitigating issues such as landslides, particularly in regions with unstable soil or uneven terrain. Now, let's delve into the key considerations for its construction.

• These drawings are meticulously crafted by structural engineers to delineate the intricate details of essential house components, including the foundation, columns, and beams.
• They serve as indispensable tools for comprehending critical junction points, load-bearing spaces, and facilitating the selection of appropriate footing designs (such as Isolated, Combined, or Raft Footing), as well as the materials required for construction.

• Precisely align and mark (Setting Out) in accordance with the structural drawings and plans.
• Excavate the areas designated for footings, then lay a 6-inch thick PCC (with a mix ratio of 1:4:8).
• Guarantee the precision of frame construction, and ensure the correct positioning of the base square and columns, utilizing top-grade steel (Fe 500).
• Ensure precise shuttering by placing cover blocks beneath the frame and along the sides of the column to ensure thorough concrete distribution.
• Use high-quality materials for concreting (RCC - Reinforced Cement Concrete) with a precise mix ratio of 1:3:5.
• For added foundation durability, perform essential water curing for seven days after concreting.
• After a period of three to four days, you can safely dismantle the formwork.
• Following seven days of proper watering, proceed with the landfilling process.

• Create a 4-inch thick PCC layer to ensure a level floor and prevent direct contact with the soil.
• Install a sturdy wire mesh atop the PCC, making sure to incorporate cover blocks under the frame for added strength.
• After thorough reinforcement, use a vibrator during concreting to achieve optimal compaction. Utilize a concrete mix with a ratio of 1:3:5.
• After 7 days, the slabs can be safely removed, but it's essential to commence any additional construction work only after 14 days of continuous watering.
• Following this period, ensure that a bitumen coating (Damp Proofing) is applied to both the top and sides of the plinth beam for added protection.
• Landfilling on the foundation can be initiated after a brief two to three-day interval.
