and bond new work to existing by
cleaning and wetting the surface.
 Build in sections, cure properly, and
clean the final product. Remove any
defective work and maintain a tidy
workspace.

6. Plastering  Before applying plaster, ensure a
level and protected work area.
Prepare the surface by roughening it
if smooth, dampen it, and allow it to
set. Complete any necessary
installations and create a mock-up to
confirm aesthetics and quality.
 Plastering involves a three-step
process: applying a rough scratch
coat, building up a render coat for
texture, and finishing with a thin,
smooth final coat that meets specified
thickness and level.

practices will be followed, including
wearing appropriate PPE. Upon
completion, the plumbing system
 will be thoroughly pressure tested
and inspected for leaks before being
concealed and commissioned

instructions
11. External works  Construction of septic tank and soak
away pits.
The construction of the septic tank and soak
away pit will follow a well-defined
sequence, prioritizing safety and adherence
to regulations. Initial steps involve site
excavation based on approved plans,
ensuring proper dimensions, and maintaining
safe working conditions. The excavated
materials will be stockpiled for potential
backfilling or disposal. Following
excavation, the focus will shift to
constructing the tank and soak away pit
using approved materials and techniques, as
outlined in the relevant engineering
specifications. in-situ casted concrete will be
used. Strict quality control measures will be
implemented throughout the process to
guarantee a watertight and functional septic
system
