setting out from the gridlines/ off set from grid lines and checking of surface
condition of substrate.
2. The surveyor has to set out the block wall on the substrate as per the approved
layout shop drawings and structural as-built drawings. Any discrepancies should
be brought into the attention to Consultant Engineer.
3. All block walls shall be accurately set out and the surface of the foundation or
floor shall be roughened to receive the first mortar bed. First block layer shall
be laid on solid beds of mortar made of 1: 5 cements: sand mix.
4. If applicable ,damp-pro of course (DPC) shall be laid horizontally beneath the
alignment of the block on a mortar bed for all external periphery walls in ground
floor.
5. First layer of block work shall be inspected and approved by Consultant

6.2. AAC BLOCK INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Approved block and mortar mix shall only be used.

2. Thoroughly clean the substrate laying surfaces and laitance and loose materials before
commencing the work.
3. Spread the mortar bedding insufficient quantity to ensure that masonry units are laid
within the working time of the mortar.
4. Place units with a single action and with minimum tapping. If units are moved after
the initial placing, remove the mortar and re-lay.
5. Angle and reveal shall be kept true. Square and plumb.
6. Masonry units shall be laid free of smears, mortar slicks, stains, cracked, broken edges
and corner and other defects detrimental to finished appearance.
7. Unit shall be laid up in running (half lap stretcher) bond with vertical joints in
successive course centering on midpoint of the unit below. Joint should be uniform in
width of 3- 5 mm.
8. Cutting of masonry units shall be executed by power driven masonry saw. Cut units to
accommodate all dimensions, steel framing, fixtures, recesses, and other work. Cutting
by power driven masonry saw must be done only on area allocated; these areas must
be isolated and enclosed with green net to reduce spread of noise and dust as a result
of block cutting.
9. Walls shall be constructed as true planes and tested with a 3000mm straight edge
place anywhere on the wall in any direction shall be true plane and plumb. Each
horizontal joint shall be level and at same height in all walls around the room and true
to the lines and dimensions indicated on the drawings. Vertical joints in alternate
course shall be plumb and inline. Un-satisfactory work should be removed and
replaced.
10. Units shall be accurately cut and fitted at heads of window, window stools, head of
other Door and other openings as necessary to accommodate door frames. Window
