Do you think how to make a markup for the foundation?
Our tips will help you to cope with this task.
When building a farm or a residential building, it will be necessary to ensure that its foundation is in accordance with the plan.
A foundation is a building support, as well as a transition element between the planes of the building box and the ground surface.
The accuracy of marking the walls of the future building largely depends on the correct marking and laying of the foundation.
First you need to accurately determine the boundaries of ownership and mark the "red line" of construction. In advance, plan with the layout of septic tanks and the sewage system.
At this stage, you will need a plan of the entire site where construction will be conducted.
Having fixed the boundaries of the site, we determine the location of the building and its orientation.
At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the location of the driveway and the street, the position of neighboring houses, the location of the brook or pond on the site, etc.
On the terrain, using a long cord, we designate the contour of the future foundation. Determine the starting point and install a cord in it.
From this point, lay the right angle and the horizontal plane - this will be the foundation of the foundation marking.
We mark the length of the wall of the future building, again lay the right angle, and then, driving the pegs, consistently mark all the corners of the basement.
Some ask how to make a markup for a foundation if they are going to make a foundation with a basement. For this, the length of the excavation should be made 1.5 m more than the sides of the foundation itself.
As soon as the excavation has been marked out, retreat 1.5 meters into the scribe line, and mark the foundation contour for the excavator.
After excavating excavator - even marking of the corners of the building can be slightly broken.
In this case, install several pegs on the outside of the trench, by 3.0-3.5 m leaving them for the dimensions of the foundation.

On the plan - note the distance from each auxiliary peg to the corner of the house. To the pegs we tie ribbons of bright color( red or orange) so that the excavator can see them.
When excavating a soil, it is necessary to observe the design depth of the excavation. Let the operator-excavator be oriented to work inside the designated perimeter, marked with colored ribbons.
As soon as the soil is completely selected from the excavation, you can make the laying of the foundation according to the layout you made.
