HOW HOUSE CONSTRUCTION WORK
One reason for this consistency is a set of uniform building codes that apply across the country. Another reason is cost — the techniques used to build homes produce reliable housing quickly at a low cost (relatively speaking). If you ever watch any house being built, you will find that it goes through the following steps:
1. Grading and site preparation
2. Foundation construction
3. Framing
4. Installation of windows and doors
5. Roofing/RCC Slab
6. Siding
7. Rough electrical
8. Rough plumbing
9. Rough HVAC
10. Insulation
11. Drywall
12. Underlayment
13. Trim
14. Painting
15. Finish electrical
16. Bathroom and kitchen counters and cabinets
17. Finish plumbing
18. Carpet and flooring
19. Finish HVAC
20. Hookup to water main, or well drilling
21. Hookup to sewer or installation of a septic system
22. Punch list
Many of these steps are performed by independent crews known as subcontractors. For example, the framing is generally done by one subcontractor specializing in framing, while the roofing is done by a completely different subcontractor specializing in roofing. Each subcontractor is an independent business. All of the subcontractors are coordinated by a contractor who oversees the job and is responsible for completing the house on time and on budget.

The decisions we make now will have an impact on how we live in and enjoy our home so I’m taking them pretty seriously… That’s why it took three hours of careful deliberation before finalising our electrical and lighting plan! Thankfully our electrician and lighting expert were incredibly patient and helpful!

                                                                               Vastu (part 01) Today we will start a conversation about Vastu – a very ancient Indian Vedic teaching, about how to create a harmony of the primary elements that exist outside and within us. The basis of this doctrine is Vastu-purusha, this is a subtle-material deity who infuses the body of the house,same as the paramatma infuses into our body at the moment of its creation. Therefore, the attitude to the house and its paramatma, Vastu-purusha, should be the same as the attitude to our body. Vastu-purusha has all the parts of the body and vulnerable points on it, so the house must be built so that Vastu-purusha feel good in it, then it will be good for the inhabitants of the house The story of Vastu Purusha: One day, Lord Shiva fought the demon Andhaka. The struggle was very bitter and Shiva’s drops of sweat fell to the ground, from which the demon Vastu-purusha was born. The demon was very hungry
