    How do you work in the construction sector?

    The construction of a building is usually made up of different phases or moments. Although they may vary from one project to another, the normal thing is that this process has about five key moments that are the ones that we are going to explain below.

    First phase. Documentation in order. All the plans, permits, documents and supplementary reports must be closed and have all the pertinent authorizations. This is essential to ensure that the building is carried out with all possible guarantees and that no technical aspect is being improvised. Also to make sure that the construction respects the existing regulations and that there will be no problems later, once all the work has been done. At this point, a budget must also be made with a calculation of all possible expenses. Once all the documents are closed, you can start building. This work begins with the perimeter closure of the work area. Make sure the construction zone is isolated from the public zone.

    Second stage. Before starting with the foundations, the ground must be examined. It must also be cleaned and excavated. Hence, the top layer of soil is often removed and the fragments are stacked elsewhere nearby, where they will remain until later used. Once all of this has been done and the foundation base has been inspected, it will begin to be covered with material.

    Third phase. With the foundations already distributed, it is time to assemble the structure. That is, to build the exterior walls, the interior partitions and the roof of the building. Once we have all this, it is usually said that we have the skeleton of the final building and it is time to install the air conditioning of the building. A process that involves: the installation of cladding, roof, tiles, doors and exterior windows. At this point the building has almost everything you need and it only remains to put the skin on it.

    Fourth phase. It is time for services. That is to say, of the plumbing, the mechanics and the electrical. This phase is where the water pipes, the waste pipes, the water heaters, the air conditioning systems, the ducts, the electrical wiring, the different lighting points, everything necessary for the building count on TV, telephone, audio service; as well as the security cabling. Once all this is installed, it is time for the so-called special services. We refer to the following: elevators, electricity transformers, pumping equipment, industrial exhaust fans, vertical garbage chutes and solar panels. Obviously, not all buildings have so many services, but all of them, if they do, arrive at this time.

    Fifth phase. The final stage of the building is dedicated to the final details. That is, the following are carried out: the installation and testing of electrical systems, the installation of ceilings, the placement of doors, baseboards, window frames, floor coverings, countertops, placement of the built-in cabinets, tiles in bathrooms and kitchens, appliances, mirrors, lights, taps, and showers. Finally, it is time to paint and it is ready to deliver.
