Our Checklist for Masonry Wall Construction and its important.

-

 


The checklist in masonry wall construction is prepared to ensure that the masonry projects are constructed according to the higher standards. This is carried out by providing proper assistance for undergoing the review processes at the site.


The in-charge( our project manager) one of  his job is to prepare the masonry wall construction checklist. The checklist of item is also provided to the mason to review his work frequently so that the quality of work is assured from his side also.


The method of checklist preparation in masonry work ensures the confirmation of standards not only for the masonry work but also the workmanship standards.


How do we  Prepare Masonry Wall Construction Checklist?


Now masonry checklist, in general, will consist of three columns. The first column is for specifying the Item and the Work. The second column is for specifying the details of the respective work.


The third column is remarks or comments. This column designation will vary based on the specific requirements of the project item.






Mention and updating the availability of the materials available and yet to reach.

Preparation of the area for the preparation of the concrete or the material. This will involve the cleaning of the work zone.

Proper and appropriate bundling of the bricks. This will check improper placement and spoiling of brick materials.


Quality of bricks and the sand materials are mentioned once the test is conducted.

Check for over-burnt clays or under burnt clays.

Wetting of the bricks.

In case of clay bricks, they have to soaked before the work start.

The plumb level is checked.

Amount of salt content in the silt is checked.

Dead mortars are cleaned for new work and checked.

Racking and curing is checked – all vertical joints and horizontal joints have to be properly aligned.

Any chances of expansion or modification is checked.

Proper and accurate checking for pointing, plastering and finishing details.

Erection of frames – Alignment and position of the door is checked.

Checking the outline of each room – compared with the plan, checking the diagonal, the position of the windows and the openings.

Based on the diagonals and the dimension of the room, the first layer of the bricks is laid.

Joint must be checked for uniformity and thickness not greater than 10 to 12mm is maintained.

Mortar Mix

Water for mixing-storage of materials

Specified Mortar type

Check the mortar preparation and mix consistency

Mortar Mixing and Mortar Ration in Masonry Wall Construction

Application of Mortar- Proper filling of the joints

Filling the cavities and grouted cells

The joints in masonry must be properly cleared

Ensure the brickwork height to be made on a single day ( 1.5m)

Curing Details –Checked

After the work, the top of the wall is covered with wet jute bag after the end of every work

The curing has to be done for 7 to 10 days.

How do Mc Mushongo investment cc Effectively Manage Construction Supply Chain?

  Every player in the construction sector, in one way or the other, is a part of the overall supply chain. The project designer, materials supplier, subcontractors, the main contractor, and the client often act as the links of the supply chain across different construction projects and operations. Construction supply chains (CSC) are known to be complex, and their intricacies keep increasing with the growing magnitude of the project. The complexity further increases with the involvement of more people, i.e., first-tier, second-tier suppliers, and other tiers of sub-contractors, etc. The scope of the project is correlated to the complexity of the supply chain as more manpower, parties, and materials are needed for the completion of the project. Thus, it is essential to implement proper planning, organization, and collaboration between supply chain partners for a seamless supply chain operation and a smooth 1.  Development of Suppliers and Subcontractors Mc Mushongo  investment cc

 What are Solar Windows? Solar windows are windows with solar panels that absorb ultraviolet and infrared light and convert them into electricity. They use the concept of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).   What are the advantages of Solar Windows? • Solar windows reduce the indoor temperature during the summer season. • They reduce power consumption and hence utility bills. • They block ultraviolet radiation, preventing fading of interior furniture. •Solar windows increase privacy by providing a tinting option.  •They reduce glare within the building. •The cost of installation is low compared to solar panels. They lower carbon footprint. As per Ubiquitous Energy (a leading manufacturer of solar windows), solar windows are 30% more expensive than conventional windows. But this is compensated considering the yearly reduction in utility bills and the decrease in global emissions. https://liuphilipusmushongo.blogspot.com/?m=1

How do Mc Mushongo Investment cc Improve Masonry Resistance Against Penetration of Water?

-

First of all We advice our architect  to select and design type of a wall that is suitable for the degree of forced rain severity anticipated in the location of the project. Completely grouted barrier wall or drainage wall with minimum thickness of 20 mm is recommended for seriously driven rain condition. Design of Drainage Wall to Improve Water Penetration Resistance of Masonry When drainage wall is selected, the wall should be designed in such a way that prevents the water penetration through the outer Wythe of the wall. For the outer Wythe masonry wall maintain its water resistance ability, cracks under service load should be prevented. When masonry cement is employed, the lower tensile bond strength of the cement should be considered in specifying whether the veneer will crack or not whereas if steel studs are utilized it is recommended to consider the steel flexibility in determining whether the veneer cracks or not. If the cavity wall is determined to be employed, the design
