Component of a building 🏫 1️⃣ Substructure (Below Ground Level) These parts transfer the load of the building to the soil. Foundation – Supports the entire building Plinth – Portion between ground level and floor level Damp Proof Course (DPC) – Prevents moisture from rising Basement (if provided) 2️⃣ Superstructure (Above Ground Level) These are the visible parts of the building. 🔹 Structural Components Walls – Enclose and divide spaces Columns – Vertical load-bearing members Beams – Transfer

In this video, I explain an important construction practice that is often ignored on sites.Foundation walls (Substructure) are directly in contact with soil and moisture.If we apply chips, terrazzo coating, or cement slurry on both inner and outer sides of foundation walls, it helps to:✅ Reduce rising damp✅ Protect brickwork from moisture✅ Minimize efflorescence (white salts)✅ Increase durability of substructure✅ Support DPC performanceThis method is highly recommended for low-lying plots, wet s

This how proper Structural Substructure works (Foundation) is done professionally. You will only get this this when you hire a Graduate Experienced Engineer to build for you. Adwumapa Construction and Engineering services | Kingsley Yaw Amoako Nyampong
