Ask
your architect to plan your interiors well in advance:
- the positions of switchboards
and plug points. This will depend on where you place your kitchen mixer,
TV, audio system, fridge, washing machine, computer or other such equipment
- the positions of almirahs and other large furniture with regard to doors/windows
- built-in cupboards and storage areas
Correct sloping for
the bathroom and kitchen floor should be provided to allow efficient drainage
Correct sloping should
also be provided for the roof surface to allow efficient drainage of rainwater
(stagnant water can create seepage problems later on). The joint of the
rain water pipe at the roof slab should be effectively sealed so that
seepage problems do not occur in the future
Ensure concealed
electrical conduits are placed prior to concreting/plastering
Stair roof doors
should always open outside so that the rain water does not enter the house
Individual shuttering
planks should have a smooth, flat surface. The planks when placed together
should give a uniform, levelled surface. This way the concrete surface
will also be even, thereby saving money on plaster work
Chhajjas should have
a slight protrusion (drip course) at the edges so that rainwater does
not drain inside and spoil the paint
