SUBJECT: SPECIFICATION OF WORKS

WORK ITEM DESCRIPTION

This set of specification shall govern the methods of construction and kinds of materials
to be used for the proposed project shown on the accompanying plans and detailed
drawings.

The plans, detailed drawing and the specification shall be considered as complementing
each other so that what mentioned or shown in one is although not mentioned or shown
in the other shall be considered as appearing in both. Any conflict to be found between
the two should be referred to the designing architect/engineer for clarification.

1. GENERAL CONDITIONS

All parts of the construction shall be finished with the first-class workmanship to the
fullest talent and meaning of the plans and the specification, and to the full satisfaction of
the designing Architect/Engineer and the project owner / representative.

Any defective materials or poor workmanship should be replaced or improved by the

contractor without additional cost to the owner.

The construction shall confirm to all the requirements of the National Building Code of
the Philippines and the rules and regulations enforced in the locality.

2. CLEARING THE SITE

The building site shall be leveled to a suitable grade according to the plans. It should be
cleared of rubbish, roots and other perishable materials.

3. STACKINGOUT THE BUILDING LINES

The building lines shall be staked out and all lines and grades shown in the drawings
accurately established before any excavation are started

SPECIFICATION OF WORK Page1

 4. EXCAVATION AND FOUNDATION

All excavation shall be made to grade indicated in the drawings. Where the building is
covered with any kind of fill, the excavation for the footings shall be made deeper until
specification safe bearing capacity of the soil is reached.

5. BACKFILLING OF EXCAVATION

When the concrete poured for the foundation has hardened and can already withstand
the pressure resulting from the fills, the materials removed from excavation shall be used
for backfilling them.

The fills and backfilling shall be placed in layers not more than 150mm in thickness.
Each succeeding layers shall be thoroughly compacted by wetting, tamping and rolling.

6. CONCRETE WORKS

Concrete should be mixed thoroughly such that there is uniform distribution among the
cement and the aggregates. The concrete should be vibrated and its form should be
tapped as it is deposited to its final position, to prevent formation of voids in the concrete
member which will weaken the building.

Water to be used for the mixing concrete shall be cleared and free from injurious amount
of soil, acid, salt, alkalis and organic material.

Proportioning of Concrete Mixture

A. Foundation
Reinforced Concrete (3,500 psi.); with the necessary reinforcing bars as indicated in the
structural plan using grade 33 deformed bars.

B. Columns

the necessary reinforcing bars as indicated in the structural plan using grade 33 for
deformed bars.

C. Beams
Reinforced Concrete (3,500 psi.) for all beams while; with the necessary reinforcing bars
as indicated in the structural plans using grade 33 deformed bars for main while grade
33 deformed bars for secondary bars.

stairs with the necessary reinforcing bars as indicated in the structural plans using grade
33 deformed bars for reinforcements.

 7. FORMS FOR CONCRETE WORKS

Forms for all reinforced concrete shall be adequately supported and braced or tied
together to maintain the correct positions and the shapes of poured concrete. Wooden
forms shall be constructed sufficiently tight to prevent the bulging of concrete upon
pouring or leaking/draining of water during curing.

The forms shall not be removed until the concrete has attained sufficient strength to
support its own weight and any temporary loads placed on it. The side of forms of girders
and beams may be removed earlier than the bottom forms. However, additional supports
and shoring must be placed under until they have attained strength.
