Part 1: General
Provide all personnel, materials, and equipment required to execute all work as
detailed on the Drawings. The works included in this section are excavating and
filling for rough grading the site, preparing subgrades for walks, pavements, turf
and grasses and plants, subbase course for concrete walks and pavements,
subbase course and base course for paving, subsurface drainage backfill for walls
and trenches, and excavating and backfilling trenches for utilities and pits for
buried utility structures. Suitable fill from off-site if on-site amounts are insufficient
P a g e 12 | 89
or unsuitable, and legal disposal of excess fill off-site. After excavating
inappropriate material, the underlying ground must be proof-rolled and compacted
to the same specification as the subsequent compaction operations.
Grading Existing Surfaces
The work under this section comprises of executing all activities required to shape
the existing ground preparatory to the placement of the fill or surface material.
Grade trench bottoms accurately to give uniform bearing and support for each
section of pipe on undisturbed soil along its entire length. Make sure the pipe
subgrade has a smooth, uniform surface where the bedding material will be laid.
Excavation
Removal of material discovered above subgrade elevations and along lines
dimensions are provided. Excavate the building pad to the stipulated dimensions
and depths in the approved site plan. Provide trenching and backfill for mechanical
and electrical work and utilities. Borrow materials are to be provided when off-site
suitable fill if on-site quantities are insufficient or undesirable, and legal off-site
disposal of excess fill. It must be ensured that the excavation does not extend
below established grades.
Unless otherwise required by building requirements, the excavation must be large
enough to allow for the appropriate installation and removal of concrete forms or
precast structures, as well as the creation of necessary pipe connections.
Excavated trenches must be wide enough to allow for adequate pipe, conduit, or
cable laying, and banks must be sloped to meet current safety standards.
P a g e 13 | 89
Fill
Ensure that the excavations and areas to be filled are clear of loose dirt, trash,
and standing water. Cobbles, boulders, and rock fragments whose biggest
dimension exceeds the allowed limitations for each type of fill (usually less than
75 mm for structural fill and 125 mm for general fill) are not permitted to be
incorporated into the fill. The Earthworks Contractor should consider removing big
fragments and sending them through a crusher unit to reduce their size to a
suitable grading.
Backfill
Excavated soil that is devoid of frozen material, stumps, roots, brush, other organic
matter, debris, and other objects. Place backfilled material above embedment
materials in a way that prevents pipeline damage or misalignment. Insert lifts of
the thickness required to provide the prescribed backfill density or to meet other
regulatory criteria.

Part 3: Execution
Installation
1. Ensure that the surfaces supporting the masonry work are clear of dirt and
other harmful materials and that they are completed with the correct lines
and grades. Wait until improperly prepared surfaces have been
satisfactorily rectified before starting any work.
2. The drawings will specify the horizontal and vertical spacing between
anchors that secure the masonry wall to the structural frame. You might
use intersecting walls in place of an anchor.
3. Assemble floors, walls, and other masonry structures using cavity and
composite materials to the specified thickness. Utilizing the designated
nominal thickness units, construct any single-withed walls to the exact
thickness of the masonry units.
4. Leave spaces for equipment to be fitted before completing the masonry
construction. After installing equipment, finish masonry work to match the
work adjacent to the opening.
P a g e 33 | 89
5. Use water-cooled or motor-driven dry-cutting saws to cut masonry units so
that the edges are crisp, clean, and undamaged. Cut pieces as needed to
fit adjacent work and to create continuous patterns. If at all feasible, use
full-size units without trimming them.
6. Install units with cut surfaces and, if at all possible, with concealed cut
edges.
7. Units shall be placed while the mortar is soft and plastic. Any unit disturbed
to the extent that the initial bond is broken after initial positioning shall be
removed and re-laid in fresh mortar.
8. Do not install cracked, broken, or chipped masonry units exceeding ASTM
allowances.
9. Avoid letting mortar droplets or other debris harm sills, ledges, and offsets
during building. Utilize covers laid on the ground and over the wall surface
to shield the base of walls from rain-splattered mud and mortar. Lost grout
or mortar must be removed right away. Take precautions to prevent stains
on face materials. When building, take care to avoid damaging door jambs
and corners.
10. Mortar should not be spread too far ahead of units, as it will stiffen and
loose plasticity, especially in hot weather. Mortar that has stiffened should
not be used. ASTM C270 requires that mortar be used within 2 ½ hours of
initial mixing.
Reinforcement for Concrete Hollow Blocks
1. Reinforcement should be done in accordance with the structural plans as
to size, spacing, and other requirements such as 600mm spacing vertically
P a g e 34 | 89
and every (3) CHB layers horizontally for rebars using 9m length steel
reinforcement.
2. Reinforcement shall be clean and free from loose, rust, scales, and any
coatings that will reduce bond.
3. When a foundation dowel does not connect with the vertical core to be
reinforced, it must be grouted in direct vertical alignment, even if it is in an
adjacent cell to the vertical wall reinforcing.
Laying Masonry Walls
1. Do not wet concrete masonry prior to laying up units unless written
permission is obtained from the Engineer.
2. Plan your wall layout in advance to ensure that surface bond patterns are
spaced precisely, with consistent joint widths, and that openings,
movement-type joints, offsets, and returns are all located precisely. Less-
than-half-size units should not be used anywhere possible, especially at
corners and jambs.
3. Lay-up walls with precise course spacing and coordination with other
operations, adhering to the required construction tolerances.
4. Fill the space between hollow metal frames and masonry with mortar,
unless otherwise specified.
5. Grout cores in hollow concrete masonry units to support beams or slabs
beneath bearing plates, beams, lintels, posts, and similar things, unless
otherwise specified.
P a g e 35 | 89
Mortar bedding and Jointing
1. Concrete masonry units should have a consistent nominal joint thickness
of 10mm conforming to the current masonry codes standard for mortar joint
thickness, unless otherwise specified in the plans.
2. Install solid masonry units and fully-grouted hollow CMU with a filled bed
and head joint. Apply enough mortar to fill head joints and shove into place.
Avoid furrowing bed joints or slushy head joints.
3. Use a round jointing tool to create weather-proof, concave, tooled
connections in exposed surfaces using mortar that is thumbprint hard.
Make strike joints flush on surfaces that will be plastered, covered with
another material, or finished with a surface finish other than paint.
4. Remove any mortar that is protruding into the grouting cells or voids. Do
not allow mortar droppings to clog weep holes. Mortar should not be used
to fill horizontal joints between masonry partitions and concrete or steel
structures unless specified in the plans.
5. Remove any masonry components that were disturbed during the laying
process; clean and reset in fresh mortar. Avoid pounding jamb corners to
move stretcher units already in place. To make modifications, remove the
units, clean the mortar, and reinstall with fresh mortar.
Construction Stability
1. Provide and install bracing that will ensure stability of masonry during
construction.
P a g e 36 | 89
2. Allow 16 hours after completing masonry columns and walls to place floor
or roof construction loads. Allow 48 hours before using concentrated loads
like girders, beams, or trusses.
3. Use formwork and shores to temporarily support reinforced masonry
sections.
4. Create formwork that conforms to the shape, line, and measurements
provided. Ensure a tight seal to prevent mortar, grout, or concrete leaks.
Maintain the position and shape of reinforced masonry by bracing, tying,
and supporting it throughout building and curing.
5. Formwork shall be designed and working drawings prepared by a
professional Engineer.
6. Formwork shall not be removed until the reinforced masonry member has
cured enough to support its own weight and additional loads during
construction.
7. Allow at least the following time after completion of the member to remove
shores or forms, if proper curing conditions were attained during the curing
period:
a. Lintels and beams – 10 days
Grouting
1. Fully grout vertical cells of concrete masonry containing steel
reinforcement.
2. Do not place grout until entire height of masonry to be grouted has attained
sufficient strength to resist grout pressure.
3. Pour grout in one continuous pour over apertures in beams or lintels.
P a g e 37 | 89
4. Extend reinforcement beyond masonry as needed for splicing when
multiple pours are needed to finish a particular section of masonry. Grout
should be poured to within 1-1/2 inches of the initial pour's top course. Prior
to grouting, lay the masonry units and the reinforcement for the second
pour section once the grouted masonry has cured. If more pours are
needed, repeat the sequence.
Cleaning
1. When mortar is thoroughly set and cured, clean masonry by removing large
mortar particles by hand with wooden paddles a non-metallic scrapes or
chisels.
2. Use a sample wall panel to test cleaning techniques; for comparison, leave
one panel uncleaned.
3. Obtain Architect approval for sample cleaning before cleaning masonry.
4. Use waterproof masking tape, polyethylene film, or a liquid strippable
masking agent to shield nearby stone and non-masonry surfaces from the
cleaner.
5. Ensure that the unit masonry work is free of damage and deterioration at
the time of substantial completion by providing the last layer of protection
and maintaining the area in a way that is acceptable to the installer.

WALLS
1. Plaster
a. Dust, laitance, efflorescence, loose particles, grease, and other
foreign matter should be removed from the surface of concrete and
concrete blocks. To clean, thoroughly moisten the surfaces and
apply acid solutions, solvents, or detergent.
b. Apply a bonding agent on concrete and concrete block surfaces
which are to receive cement plaster. Apply in accordance with the
manufacture’s recommendations, ensuring complete coverage.
c. Apply cement plaster using two coat system and three coat system
respectively as indicated.
d. Allow each coat to cure for minimum of 3 (three) days before
applying the next coat.
e. Apply a layer adequate to secure the required texture, but no less
than 5mm. Apply final coat according to the requirements.
f. Provide surfaces receiving paint with a steel trowel finish, to match
approved sample pane.
g. Moist cure finish coat for minimum period of 48 hours.
2. Panels
a. Clean surfaces of dust, laitance, efflorescence, loose particles,
grease and other foreign matter that may affect the effectiveness of
the bonding agent used to attach the panels.
P a g e 69 | 89
b. Measure and mark the surface where the panels will be attached
and cut the panels according to the planned sections in order to
make a consistent and uniform sections.
c. Sand or roughen the walls a little in order for the adhesive to
perform and have better strength in handling the panels.
d. Apply the panels onto the marked wall and ensure that the panels
are straight.
3. Wallpapers
a. Installers must have at least 3 years of expertise with wall
coverings similar to the project's size and complexity.
b. Thoroughly clean and smoothen the surface where the wallpapers
will be applied in order for the adhesive to attach properly.
c. Carefully plan and section the surface to have a consistent cut of
the wallpaper in order to have a smoother transition and avoid
uneven and weird looking border.
d. Attach the wallpapers carefully without bubbles and border sticking
out.
4. Tiles
a. Examine substrates, spaces, and circumstances where tile will be
placed, in the presence of the installer, to ensure that installation
tolerance criteria and other factors influencing the work's
performance are met.
i. Make sure the substrates used to set tile are firm, dry, clean, free
of coatings that interfere with the tile setting materials (such as

P a g e 70 | 89
curing compounds and other substances containing silicone, wax,
or soap), and that they meet the flatness tolerances specified by
ANSI A108.01 for the indicated installations.
ii. Check that the concrete substrates for tile floors laid with thin set
mortar or bonded mortar bed meet the specified installations'
surface finish standards in ANSI A108.01.
b. Installing should only begin after poor conditions have been fixed.
c. Adhere to the sections of the "Specifications for Installation of
Ceramic Tile" ANSI A108 series that are applicable to the types of

techniques, and stated in tile installation schedules.
i. To achieve 95% mortar coverage for the following installations,
adhere to the steps outlined in the ANSI A108 series of tile
installation standards:
1. Exterior tile floors
2. Tile floors in wet areas
3. Tile swimming pool decks
d. Unless otherwise specified, extend tile work into nooks and under or
behind fixtures and equipment to create a seamless whole covering.
Work should be cleanly terminated at corners, edges, and
impediments to avoid messing with pattern or joint alignments.
e. Form intersections and returns with accuracy. Tile should be drilled
and cut without damaging surrounding surfaces. For perfectly
aligned joints, carefully grind the cut edges of tile that abut trim,
finish, or built-in objects. As plates, collars, or coverings overlap tile,
P a g e 71 | 89
fit tile tightly to electrical outlets, pipework, fixtures, and other
penetrations.
f. Jointing Pattern: Unless otherwise specified, arrange tiles in a grid
pattern. Arrange the tile work and place the tile fields in the middle
of each room or along each wall. Reduce the amount of parts that
are less than half of a tile when laying out tile work. Provide
consistent joint widths unless specified otherwise.
g. Grout Sealer: Follow the written directions provided by the grout
sealer manufacturer when applying grout sealer to cementitious
grout joints in tile flooring. Wipe excess sealer and sealer from tile
faces with a soft cloth as soon as the sealer has reached the grout
joints.
5. Exterior Walls
Preparation
a. Take out the loose concrete and honeycomb.
b. Examine and fix any pertinent surface flaws (such as gaps and
cracks) using corrective civil works that are waterproof where
needed.
c. Before applying, make sure the surface to be coated is dry, clean,
and the weather is favorable.
Application
a. Apply the mixture thinly to the surface with a steel trowel, pressing
down firmly on the concrete with the trowel's edge until it covers the
entire area.

Part 3: Execution
INSTALLATION
1. The electrical plan drawings indicate general configurations and locations
for equipment conduit, outlets, and so on. Unless defined or dimensioned,
the exact locations of conduit, cable routing, and equipment placement will
be determined by structural conditions, physical interference, and electrical
termination points on equipment. Examine architectural, structural, and
mechanical designs, as well as shop drawings for the various equipment,
to identify the precise routing and positioning of all raceways, cables, and
equipment, ensuring a functional installation.
2. The design includes the minimal number of raceways and conductors
required to power and control all electrical equipment, as determined by the
engineer. If the installed equipment has higher horsepower or requires
more power or conductors, resize the raceway and conductors accordingly
and submit for evaluation before installation.
3. Ensure conduits, cables, and conductors fulfill the needs of electrical
equipment and devices. Conduits should be 20mm diameter PVC Pipe.
Wirings should be 2mm THHN/THWN for light fixtures and lighting circuits
and 3.5mm THHN/THWN for the rest.
4. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each piece of equipment to
ensure proper installation. Include manufacturer instructions as part of the
specifications.
CLEAN-UP
1. Continuously remove debris, cuttings, crates, cartons, etc.
