Site Preparation
Clear debris, vegetation, and obstacles
Level the ground and mark foundation layout
Ensure proper drainage to prevent future issues
Formwork Setup
Install wooden or steel forms to shape the foundation
Ensure forms are properly aligned and supported
Forms hold concrete until it hardens
Concrete Pouring
Pour concrete evenly into the forms
Use vibrators to remove air pockets
Level and smooth the surface for uniformity
Excavation
Dig trenches or pits according to the foundation plan
Depth depends on soil type and building load
Maintain stable sides and accurate measurements

Reinforcement Placement
Place steel bars (rebar) for added strength
Secure rebar with ties and maintain spacing
Prevents cracking and enhances load capacity
Curing Process
Keep the concrete moist for several days
Ensures proper hardening and maximum strength
Protect from extreme weather during curing

Form Removal Final Inspection
Carefully remove formwork after curing
Inspect for defects or irregularities
Foundation ready for wall or structure construction STEP-BY-STEP
Surface finishing and waterproofing may follow
Check dimensions, alignment, and strength
Ensure compliance with design and safety standards
