How a Stilt + 4 Floor Building is Constructed | Step-by-Step Animated Guide by Doodle Design


 

๐ŸŽฌ Video Intro (Voiceover):

Welcome to Doodle Design’s animated blog series! In this video, we’ll walk you through the complete step-by-step construction process of a typical Stilt + 4 Floor (G+4) building, using simple animations to explain each stage clearly and visually.

๐Ÿ—️ Step-by-Step Construction Process:

1. Site Clearance & Layout Marking

  • Clear the plot of any old structures or debris.

  • Level the ground and prepare the layout.

  • Mark foundation points, columns, walls, staircase, and lift shaft using the architect’s and engineer’s drawings.

๐ŸŽฏ Animation Tip: Show an empty plot transforming into a marked layout.

2. Excavation & Earthwork

  • Use JCB or excavators to dig the foundation area.

  • Ensure proper depth as per structural drawings.

  • Install dewatering systems if groundwater is high.

3. Footing & Foundation Work

  • Based on the soil test, choose isolated or raft footing.

  • Lay PCC (Plain Cement Concrete).

  • Fix reinforcement bars and shuttering.

  • Pour concrete and start curing for 7–14 days.

4. Column Casting Up to Plinth Level

  • Cast columns from foundation up to plinth height.

  • Construct plinth beam and fill the area with soil.

  • Lay DPC (Damp Proof Course) above the plinth.

5. Stilt Floor Construction

  • Extend columns from plinth to stilt slab level.

  • Fix slab reinforcement, centering, and shuttering.

  • Pour slab concrete and begin curing.

๐ŸŽฏ Note: The stilt floor is generally used for parking or services.

6. Superstructure: First to Fourth Floor

  • Repeat floor-wise construction:

    • Column casting

    • Beam and slab reinforcement

    • Formwork and slab pouring

    • Brickwork and wall construction

  • Allow proper curing after each slab and wall.

7. Staircase & Lift Shaft Construction

  • Construct staircases using RCC cast-in-situ method.

  • Lift shafts are cast vertically with precise measurements.

8. Brickwork & Internal Partitions

  • External 9" walls and internal 4"/AAC blocks are built.

  • Window and door frames are fixed during this stage.

  • RCC lintels are cast above openings.

9. Plastering & Surface Finishing

  • Cement-sand plaster is applied to internal and external walls.

  • Waterproofing is done in terraces, bathrooms, and wet areas.

10. Electrical & Plumbing (First Fix)

  • Electrical conduit and switch boxes are embedded in walls.

  • Plumbing lines for water supply and drainage are installed.

๐ŸŽฏ Tip: Complete before plastering to avoid rework.

11. Flooring & Tiling

  • Tile fixing in bathrooms, kitchen, and rooms.

  • Skirting and wall dado work is completed.

  • Other flooring (vitrified, wooden, or marble) is laid.

12. Ceiling & POP Works

  • False ceiling (POP or gypsum) is installed.

  • Include cove lighting, spotlights, or design elements like fluted POP.

13. Door, Window & Grill Installation

  • Fix UPVC, aluminium, or wooden windows.

  • Install doors, balcony railings, and safety grills if needed.

14. Painting & Final Electrical Fixtures

  • Apply primer, wall putty, and paint (interior & exterior).

  • Install switches, fans, lights, and test fittings.

15. Modular & Interior Work (Optional)

  • Install modular kitchen, wardrobes, and furniture.

  • Finish with wallpapers, curtains, and soft decor.

16. Final Inspection & Handover

  • Final site cleaning and inspection.

  • Hand over the building to the client after quality checks.
