Beam Drawing
SETTING OUT
Setting out is the first step in construction and is done to mark out the points and positions of a structure. This step is done once earthwork is completed.
Once the setting out is done and the pile points have been set, pile driving work can commence.
Once pile driving work has been completed, the piles are cut to the desired level and pile cap construction can commence.
Once pile caps has been constructed, the ground beam and floor slab can commence.
The skeleton of the building is visible and early shape of the building can be seen.

CONCRETE
Polymer or cement-based binders, compounds or aggregate mixtures for joining components and forming structures. Concrete is used for making architectural structures, foundations, brick or block walls, pavements, reservoirs, pipes and poles.
CEMENT
Cement is the most important material in the construction world. It acts as a binder for all constituent materials in concrete, mortar or adhesives. Cement is made from limestone and other chemicals in cement plants. Cement can be stored in silos, tankers or packed into bags normally weighing 50kg each. There are various cement brands such as Lafarge, CIMA, Tasek Cement and YTL Cement.
SAND
Sand is a critical material in construction as it is the main building material after cement. Sand is used to mix concrete, mortar and also acts as a backfilling material. Sand can be dredged from rivers or abandoned mining pools.
TIMBER
Tmber is a widely used material in construction mostly as formwork, mould or falsework for concrete casting of various structural components.
The purpose of this tank is to store and distribute water through a water reticulation system that will be installed in the building.
PAINT
Paint is classified under architectural finishes,. Paint is actually a chemical compound consisting of petroleum by products and colour to create a liquid mix that can be applied to any finished surface by means of brushing or spraying to produce a smooth, colourful and attractive surface finish.
Aluminium roof truss is new in roof construction. Previously, timber roof trusses were used to hold roof structures. The aluminium roof truss system consists of C-channels bolted together to form a complete truss.
TILES
Tiles come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different needs in order to cover a surface be it a floor or a wall. It comes under architectural finishes in building. Tiles are bonded to the surface using mortar with bond adhesives made specially for tile laying purposes.
ROOF TILES
Roof tiles are made of cement or clay and laid as the top most layer of building roofs. They come in special shape to allow rain water to be drained off to gutters. Mortar or any form of adhesive is not required to interlock these roof tiles as they have grooves and interlock with each other through the grooves.
CRUSHER RUN
Crusher Run is crushed aggregate mixed with sand or quarry dust which is ideally used as a backfilling material for floor slabs or even the road base for roads. It is a strong and tough material which does not soften excessively with the presence of water therefore making it a suitable base course. Sometimes crusher run is used as the top layer for estate or rural roads.
LINTEL BEAMS
Lintel beams are solid lean concrete beams used to transfer the load of brick walls above any fixtures such as doors or windows to prevent the brick wall load from crushing the fixture frames.
BRICKS
Bricks are used as building blocks for building walls or to build a blockade or partition of any kind. Bricks are mainly made out of clay but nowadays sand bricks have taken over the popularity of clay bricks as it is cheaper to produce. Bricks are made in a single standard size and must be held together in a certain configuration (arrangement) by the help of a binder material such as mortar. In olden days, bricks were used in major structural components such as bridge piers but nowadays that has been replaced by reinforced concrete.
Spun piles are circular in shape and have the ability to hold more load as they are prestressed spun piles. The concept of this foundation system is the same as R.C square piles as it is also a large displacement pile and has to be hammered or injected into the ground either until it hits bedrock or it is held tightly by negative skin friction. Spun piles can come is lengths of 6m and 12 m and is chosen depending on the Geotechnical engineers instruction for foundation work based on the S.I report. One of the most famous manufacturers of spun piles in Malaysia is ICP.
EXCAVATOR
An excavator is a machine that can excavate soil of various types forcefully and then using hydraulic system a hydraulic force is generated and utilizing this force bucket is pull back towards the machine. Bucket of excavator is replace able. If front bucket is exchange with some other attachments then excavator can be used for multi-
BACKHOE
Backhoe loaders are very common and can be used for a wide variety of tasks such as small demolitions, light transportation of building materials, powering building equipment, digging holes/excavation, landscaping and breaking asphalt.
The back pusher proves to be a very good tool in all construction work sites. It was used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble and gravel. Although it has less power than the bulldozer, rental fees and the spare parts of the back pusher are much cheaper than the bulldozer.
MOBILE CRANE
A crane is a lifting machine. It can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. Its mechanical advantage helps move loads beyond the normal capability of a human.
ROLLER COMPACTOR
Roller compactor are used to compact soil, gravel, concrete , or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations.
It also use the weight of the vehicle to compress the surface being rolled (static) or use mechanical advantage (vibrating).
PILING RIG
Piling rig is a construction machine for piling in foundation engineering.
It is mainly applied to drill in sandy soil, clay, silty clay and etc.
It used to drive piles into soil to provide foundation support for buildings or other structures
CONCRETE TRUCKS
Concrete trucks are made to transport and mix concrete up to the construction site. It maintains the material's liquid state through agitation, or turning of the drum, until delivery.
DUMP TRUCKS
Dump trucks are used for transporting loose material such as sand, gravel, or dirt for construction. It equipped with hydraulic pistons to lift the front and allowing the material in the bed to be deposited on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery.
VIBRO HAMMER
A complete rig for driving and extracting sheet piles, incorporating all control functions for vertically, rotation and position.
VIBRATOR
Vibration of concrete is carried out for the sake of consolidation. The main objective of vibration is to compact the concrete and to achieve the maximum possible density of concrete. Vibration of concrete helps to remove air void without affecting much the properties of fresh concrete.
A compactor is a machine that compact the layers of various materials and reduce the thickness of the respective layer by reducing the air voids.
A portable lifting hoist is used to carry small items in a bucket to higher floors during construction. Materials such as sand, cement or bricks can be carried using this small but powerful machine. It is convenient to used, takes up little pace and can be mounted to a floor slab. It can carry a combined load of 300lbs and consists of a 5HP 4-stroke petrol engine and a 2HP 220V electric motor.
GENERATOR (GENSET)
Generators are used to supply power tools at construction sites. Generators are also used for emergencies or backup where either a redundant system is required or no generator is on site.
WELDING SET
Welding sets are used to join together metal pieces by heating the surfaces to the point of melting. This is often done by melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material that cools to become a strong joint.
WATER PUMP
Dewatering purpose to get rid of water before concrete casting or constructing structures below water level such as coffer dams.
AIR COMPRESSOR
Air compressors are used as a method to cut of piles or drill holes using attachments such as cutter blades by introducing compressed air to cut objects..
