Competent foundation marking

The foundation is not only a reliable support of any building object, it also acts as a transition element, which is located directly between an even structure box and uneven ground. It is the upper fundamental plane that is the base for marking the walls of a building or structure. Layout of the foundation is carried out from above, and only after its upper position is determined, builders count down to the very bottom of the base. In this way, the depth of the excavation and the height of the foundation are indicated.

Form and height of the foundation

Not always foundations have the form of a rectangle. For example, the foundation for a greenhouse can be made in the form of a square. But many modern country cottages and houses have the form of letters "т" or "г". Not to mention the protrusions of buildings that can be met literally at every step. Therefore, the marking of the foundation can be quite a complicated process.

In addition, if you plan to equip a full basement under the house, and under the garage - a small underground room, separate parts of the basement should be of different heights.

But even in the most difficult cases, the foundation marking must begin with the outline of an even rectangle, and only then do additional geometric figures be subtracted from it or, conversely, add additional geometric shapes.

Correct foundation under the house from the foam blocks

In our time, low-rise building is very popular. Developed construction production offers a large selection of wall blocks for the erection of various objects. These products have relatively low weight, so they significantly reduce the load on the foundation. Today, they use blocks that are made from different components and materials. But the greatest demand is for wall foam blocks.

Penoblocks can significantly reduce the cost of money to create a foundation in comparison with if the building was built of such traditional materials as brick or reinforced concrete.

A quality foundation under the house from the foam blocks can be done in several ways:

1. For example, if construction is carried out in a territory that is characterized by a weak ground, or the erected object has a basement, then the foundation must be reinforced concrete under the foundation. The foundation for the foundation is made of a crushed stone pillow (it should be about 5 to 10 centimeters thick), then the formwork is assembled, the reinforcement is installed and this concrete construction is poured with building concrete (the thickness of the concrete layer should be at least 9-10 centimeters).

2. For a solid soil and buildings that do not have basement floors, a common tape foundation made of solid reinforced concrete is quite appropriate . It is worth mentioning at once that this option is much cheaper for the cost of work.

The reliability and durability of the future of the house depend directly on the materials used and the professionalism of the brigade involved, but competent layout of the foundation is the base from which any construction begins.
