Reference lines for setting out point and finish floor level shall be marked with strings.
Working area shall be fenced off for installation and construction. Traffic is strictly prohibited
Mixing cement, sand and with clean water near to the laying area
Build up semi dry mortar to required thickness as per the approved drawing
Level the semi dry mortar mix using a flat trowel
Lay the stones as per the approved pattern.
After compaction, the stone surface against reference line and adjacent finish floor will be checked
o Wall cladding:
Ensure the MEP clearance is obtained and all other under laying installations are approved prior to start of
