Site Preparation
Excavation
Clear debris, vegetation, and obstacles. Level the ground and mark foundation layout. Ensure proper drainage to prevent future issues.

Formwork Setup
Reinforcement Placement
Install wooden or steel forms to shape the foundation. Ensure forms are properly aligned and supported. Forms hold concrete until it hardens.
Place steel bars (rebar) for added strength. Secure rebar with ties and maintain spacing. Prevents cracking and enhances load capacity.

Concrete Pouring
Curing Process
Pour concrete evenly into the forms. Use vibrators to remove air pockets. Level and smooth the surface for uniformity.
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. Surface finishing and waterproofing may follow.
Check dimensions, alignment, and strength. Ensure compliance with design and safety standards. Foundation ready for wall or structure construction.
