26. SAFETY EQUIPMENTS
• Eye and Face Protection
• Safety glasses or face shields are worn anytime work
operations can cause foreign objects getting into the eye
such as during welding, cutting, grinding, nailing (or when
working with concrete and/or harmful chemicals or when
exposed to flying particles).
• Eye and face protectors are selected based on anticipated
hazards.
• Safety glasses or face shields are worn when exposed to any
electrical hazards including work on energized electrical
systems.
27. • Foot Protection
• Construction workers should wear work shoes or boots with
slip-resistant and puncture-resistant soles.
• Safety-toed footwear is worn to prevent crushed toes when
working around heavy equipment or falling objects.
• Hand Protection
• Gloves should fit snugly.
• Workers wear the right gloves for the job (for example, heavy-
duty rubber gloves for concrete work, welding gloves for
welding, insulated gloves and sleeves when exposed to
electrical hazards).
SAFETY EQUIPMENTS
28. • Head Protection
• Workers shall wear hard hats where there is a
potential for objects falling from above, bumps to
their heads from fixed objects, or of accidental head
contact with electrical hazards.
• Hard hats are routinely inspected for dents, cracks or
deterioration.
• Hard hats are replaced after a heavy blow or
electrical shock.
• Hard hats are maintained in good condition.
SAFETY EQUIPMENTS
36. Sub rough Plumbing
and HVAC
• Basement
foundation/slab
on grade.
• Radiant floor
Heating
Damp proofing,
Waterproofing and
Window Wells
• Damp proofing
and
waterproofing
• Vapour barriers
37. Water & Sewer Laterals
• Modern Sewer lateral
is pipe is made from
plastic pipe, either ABS
or PVC. Traditionally
sewer lateral was
made from clay, cast
iron, concrete, or tar
fiber pipe
38. Foundation Drain, Backfill & Rough
Grading
• Foundation drain
• Backfill around the
foundation and
garage
• Fill the basement
interior
• Rough grade
39. Pouring the slab
• Before the concrete truck arrives the level
of the slab is marked on the side of the
foundation walls with a chalk line. Screed
boards are placed in the middle of the floor
at the same height to ensure that the slab
is level. The concrete is then poured,
leveled and finished.
• Care must be taken not to drive the
concrete truck too close to the foundation
and especially not on top of the backfill
that was recently placed against the
foundation walls. Many foundations have
been cracked, bowed or have collapsed due
to the pressure of concrete trucks, bull
dozers, and excavators.
• If hiring a contractor for flatwork, check
previous work for flatness and smoothness.
41. Framing
• Framing is one of the most exciting
phases of the construction process.
During the framing phase you will
watch the house take shape. Most
people get very excited when the
framing is done, thinking that the
house is almost built. In reality, the
house is only about one-third
complete.
• The framing must be accurate
• If the framing is poor quality, the
drywall won't be flat, the floors will
squeak, and doors will not close
correctly.
• The job of the general contractor is
to make sure the framers follow the
plans and the building code.
The Roof
• The roof is formed with pre-
manufactured trusses or stick-built
on-site.
• The city inspector will usually
request the truss engineering
calculation during the framing
inspection
• The time it takes to frame your
house will depend on the size,
complexity, and weather
conditions
City Framing Inspection
• The city will require a framing inspection. The inspector will check that the building codes are followed

penetrations in walls around
windows and doors.
• Sealing penetrations through
top and bottom plates
around pipes wires and
ductwork

Sheetrock™ or gypsum board
(Sheetrock is a trademark
name of USG), is used to
cover the interior walls of the
structure.
• Ceiling finish
• Wall finish
• Type and thickness of Drywall
installed.
• The purpose of the three step
taping process is to seal the
joints adding shear strength
to the panels
47. Finish Carpentry
• hanging interior doors (sometimes
hanging exterior doors and
windows... although framers often
do this depending on the type of
window)
• casing/trimming windows and
doors
• installing baseboard and specialty
moldings such as crown moldings
and chair moldings
• constructing built in shelves in
closets, pantries and alcoves
• installing hand rails, stair rails and
balcony rails.
• installing hardwood flooring
• installing stair treads and stair
skirting
Paint
• Latex (water based) paint is
used for drywall and MDF
board while oil based paints,
stains and finishes are used for
real wood
• Single tone paint jobs are
common in low cost tract
housing.
• Paint description (brand, grade,
color, sheen, etc.)
• Number of tones and where
they are to be used
• Exterior doors and jambs
should be included in the
interior painting contract if no
exterior painting is required (i.e.
brick exterior).
48. Attic & Crawlspace Insulation
• Venting the Attic: The attic space needs to be
well vented. It usually takes less than a day to
complete an average attic space.

Comments
Vinyl
Inexpensive for the cheaper lines, installs
quickly, fairly durable, low maintenance, water
won't damage it. Often used in kitchens, and
baths of tract homes.
Hardwood
Will last a lifetime if cared for, looks fantastic,
many different species and stains available,
can be refinished a different color. Expensive
to install, suceptible to water damage. Fairly
high upkeep cost.
Ceramic tile
Will last lifetime, good looking, many styles,
sizes colors and textures available, durable,
not affected by water, very low maintenance.
Difficult to remove if you want to change style
or color.
marble/ston
e
Will last a life time, expensive look, durable,

Laminate
floor
Authenticates wood and stone fairly well,
durable, installs quickly, low maintenance,
inexpensive and one of the easier do-it-
yourself project.
• Hard floor coverings
are installed right
after the painting
has been completed
• Hard flooring is
critical in the
timeline because it
will hold up the
cabinets and finish
plumbing if not
scheduled on time

free. It never needs painting,
caulking or staining.

lower homeowner insurance
rates.

• Brick is an effective sound
barrier.
• Brick homes have market
appeal.
• Brick homes have a excellent
resale value.

of years as a construction
material. Like brick, stone was
used as a structural wall in
buildings hundreds of years ago.
Today stone is used as a veneer
and carries no structural weight
except itself.
• Real Versus Cultured Stone
• Real stone looks "real"
• Cultured stone installs quicker
• Some cultured stones look phony
(some types are more "authentic
looking" than others).
• Cultured stone is cheaper.

in architecture for
thousands of years

maintenance free,
and offers unlimited
design possibilities

hours as questions always arise.
• We should make frequent inspections and quality
checks during the project.
• We should coordinate the delivery of supplies,
and especially the trusses.
• We should have a dumpster delivered prior to
framing
