Stages of a new
house build
21
Before pegs go into the ground for a new house build there is
work to do.
An engineer will advise on a suitable foundation design
for the land to be built on, a soil test and surveying of the
fall of the land will be undertaken as part of Council consent
requirements, and a draftsperson or architect will draw up
a design and finalise plans which incorporate considerable
building specifications.
Before construction can get underway, building consent
must be gained from the local Council. This involves
submitting plans and supporting documentation, including
advising the licensed building practitioners who will complete
the work. The cost of consent is paid up front and covers
Council inspections, carried out at specific stages of the build.
Before the foundations are laid the site is scraped and loose
soil removed. A standard foundation will require a minimum
of a site scraping with the foundations completed as per the
building code. Where the ground does not meet minimum
building standards an engineer designed foundation will be
needed.
Once the foundations have been poured (often the job of
a specialised concrete placer) the drainlayer digs the drains
for sewerage, storm water and water supply. This work may
include an earlier percolation test. This ascertains the rate
water dissipates into the soil, with sandy soils absorbing more
water than denser clay based soils.
The house frames and trusses are produced off-site then
freighted in sections where the builder stands and fixes these
before the roof and gutters are put on, a task usually contracted
out to a roofing contractor. Scaffolding will be erected for
safety. The frames are then wrapped with a waterproof eco
ply or building wrap then the aluminium joinery (windows
and doors) are fitted. Installation of the cladding follows, the
plumber and electrician carry out pre-piping and pre-wiring
work, and the builder installs the internal doors.
Insulation is inserted in the walls and ceilings before the Gib
board is fixed and the plasterer prepares the walls and ceilings
for painting. Next the builder fits the architrave and skirtings,
the electrician drills the power point and lighting holes and
the plumber installs the bath. The painter
sands and paints the walls with the numbers
of coats applied depending on how dark the
chosen paint is. The kitchen may be installed
before the internal painting though usually
afterwards.
Final plumbing work includes shower,
bathroom fittings and toilet installation while
the electrician will be on the job to mount
and connect lights, power points, appliances
and other electrical fittings, as well as
sorting the final power connection. Tiling is
completed before vinyl or carpet flooring is
laid. Lastly, the painter returns to complete
any touch-ups needed.
Outside, concreting or asphalting is
generally one of the last jobs followed by
hard and soft landscaping such as building
decks, internal fences, laying lawns and
preparing garden beds.
Before the owners can move, a Council
Code of Compliance certificate should be
gained so the home has full insurance cover.
The electrician carries out
pre-wiring work.
Insulation is in place before
internal wall linings.
House frames and trusses are usually produced off-site.
Landscaping is completed last.
