1. INTRODUCTION TO BRIGADE GROUP
Brigade group, one of South India’s leading property developers was established
in 1986 and is headquartered in Bangalore. The group has presence in various domains of
real estate such as residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, education, and property
management. The business of the group is mainly concentrated within Bangalore and
nearby regions such as Mysore, Chennai, Kochi, etc. For project development, Brigade
follows a mix of outright purchase of land parcels and undertaking joint development
(JD) with land owners. Brigade Enterprises Limited (BEL) is the flagship company of the
group. BEL was promoted by Mr M.R. Jaishankar and Ms. Githa Shankar as a
partnership firm called Brigade Enterprises in 1990 and converted to a Private Ltd
Company in 1995 and to Public Limited Company in July 2007.

Brigade group has been operational in the Bangalore real estate market for more
than 20 years and has an established brand name and reputation for quality development
in the real estate market in Bangalore and Mysore. As on 31st March 2014, the group has
completed and delivered 20 million sqft of space. Since the inception of the group in
1990, Brigade has been involved in development of properties in multiple real estate
domains – residential, commercial and hospitality. In the residential segment, the group is
focused towards development of integrated lifestyle enclaves and apartment buildings
targeted towards middle to high income range customers. In the commercial segment, the
group is involved in development of Grade- A office space, software and IT parks, retail

6.1. REINFORCEMENT
1. Reinforcement are provided in RCC stricture to counteract concrete’s relative low tensile
strength and ductility.
2. Rebar is used because although concrete is very strong in compression it is virtually

without strength in tension. To compensate for this, rebar is cast into it to carry the tensile
loads on a structure.
3. Whilst any material with sufficient tensile strength could conceivably be used to reinforce
concrete, steel is used in concrete as they have similar coefficients of thermal expansion. This
means that a concrete structural member reinforcement with steel will experience minimal
stress as a result of differential expansions of the interconnected materials due to temperature
changes.
4. In the project 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm and 32mm high yield strength
bars are used for construction.
8mm Bars: Stirrups, links, Plinth Beams, Slabs.
10mm Bars: Stirrups, links, Slabs, Beams, Pedestals.

12mm Bars: Beams, Columns, Stirrups. Slabs

16mm Bars: Column, Beams, Stairs. Slabs
20mm Bars: Columns and Beams.
6.1.1. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT

 A column is a structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of
the structure above to other structural element below. In other words it is a
compression member.
 In the erection of the reinforcement of columns, it is the first we make sure that the
starter bars are in correct position with correct cover spacing.
 Then required amount of shear links were placed on the columns.
 After that vertical bars attached to the starter bars and bind with correct spacing.
 Checking of the reinforcement is done as per the structural drawing wherein we
check the following components dia of bars, hooks and bends, lap length, clear cover,
cover blocks, rods are tied properly with binding wires.
6.1.2. BEAM REINFORCEMENT
Fig 5 : Beam Reinforcement


 Beam bottom’s line, level & width are checked.
 Beam to beam measurements is checked as per architectural drawings.
 Reinforcement of beam is important in the concrete construction work. Therefore laying
reinforcement should be more accurate.
 Reinforcement bar sizes, no. of bars, shear links, link spacing, cover blocks, anchorages
and lap lengths are important. If any one of followings will changed it can cause a large
damage.
 Dowels required to be provided for elevation feature/ future extensions.
6.1.1. SLAB REINFORCEMENT

Suspended slabs and flat slabs are being employed in the site
Slabs may be supported on walls or beams or columns. Slabs supported directly by

columns are called flat slab.
Slab supported on two sides and bending takes place predominantly in one direction
only is called One way slab. On the other hand, when slab is supported on all four sides and
bearing takes place in two direction are said to be Two way slab.
The slabs having ration of longer length to its shorter length (Ly/Lx) greater than 2 is
called one way slab otherwise as two way slab.
In one way slab main reinforcement is parallel to shorter direction and the
reinforcement parallel to longer direction is called Distribution steel.
In two way slabs main reinforcement is provided along both direction.
The maximum diameter of bar used in slab should not exceed 1/8 of the total
thickness of slab.
Minimum clear cover to reinforcement in slab depends on the durability criteria and
this is specified in IS 456-200. Generally 15mm to 20mm cover is provided for the main
reinforcement.
A flat slab is a two way reinforcement concrete slab that usually does not have beams
and girders, and the loads are transferred directly to the supported concrete columns.
 Leveling of slab should be checked as per architect drawing.
 Cover blocks to the bottom sides should be checked.

 Reinforcement bars sizes, no. of bars, spacing and lap lengths are done for both
bottom and top mat.
 It is ensured that are placed chairs firmly and properly, so that the top reinforcement
bars not disturbed during concreting.
Fig 6 : Slab Reinforcement

6.1.2. STAIRCASE REINFORCEMENT
 Waist slab bottom bars to be checked.

 Mid lading slabs top and bottom bars to be checked as per drawing.
 Check whether dowels are left for next flight.
 Cover blocks to be placed.
Fig 7 : stair case

6.2. MASONRY WORKS

 Concrete masonry units
 Stone masonry units
In this project Concrete masonry units are been used.

6.2.1 BLOCK WORK
 Surface area is cleaned for mortar & dust, excess concrete is chipped
 Site engineer will mark the points depicting the block work area and position.
 Hacking is done for good adhesion between the RCC structure and block work.
 1:6mcement sand mortar called chat is applied, & is measured using KANDA
 Stretcher bond is followed in order to avoid weak joints.
 Vertical stiffeners are provided for walls greater than 4m.
 Throughout the work, verticality & level is checked.
 Later, plastering work is initiated.
Fig 8: Block Work

6.3. FORM WORK

Formwork is a mould used to shape and support the concrete. Until it attains
sufficient strength to carry its own weight. The formwork which holds the concrete until it
hardens to attain the required shape and size.
SIGNIFICANCE
 Formwork constitutes 30% of the cost and 60% of the time in concrete Construction.
 Quality of concrete finish and soundness of concrete depends very Much on the
formwork system.
 Formwork should be properly designed, fabricated, and erected to receive fresh

concrete.
 If formwork is not done properly the desired shape of concrete is not possible.
 When concrete is compacted, it exerts pressure and the formwork, must be strong and
stable to take this pressure. The form should be Leak proof to retain the concrete &
slurry.
 Accidents happen because of faulty formwork and scaffolding/staging.
 Proper care and attention to be paid at all stages of form work in Construction.
Safety is ensured if:
 Loose or dangling / hanging components are minimal
 Proper housekeeping and stacking of materials
 Erection and dismantling is done as per the procedure
 Usage of appropriate PPE’s.
a) Plywood Formwork
Resin bonded plywood sheets are attached to timber frames to make up panels of required
sizes. The cost of plywood formwork compares favorably with that of timber shuttering and it
may even prove cheaper in certain cases in view of the following considerations:
 It is possible to have smooth finish in which case on cost in surface finishing is there.
 By use of large size panels it is possible to effect saving in the labor cost of fixing and
dismantling.
 Number of reuses are more as compared with timber shuttering. For estimation
purpose, number of reuses can be taken as 20 to 25.
Fig 9: Plywood Formwork

b) Steel Formwork
This consist of panels fabricated out of thin steel plates stiffened along the edges by
small steel angles. The panel units can be held together through the use of suitable clamps or
bolts and nuts. The panels can be fabricated in large number in any desired modular shape or
size. Steel forms are largely used in large projects or in situation where large number reuses
of the shuttering is possible. This type of shuttering is considered most suitable for circular or
curved structures.
6.4. CONCRETE
Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with
a fluid cement which hardens over time. Most concretes used are lime-based concretes such
as Portland cement concrete or concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as cement
fond. However, asphalt concrete which is very frequently used for road surfaces is also a type
of concrete, where the cement material is bitumen, and polymer concretes are sometimes
used where the cementing material is a polymer.
Fig 10: Placing Of Concrete

6.4.1 Curing of concrete

There are various methods of curing. The adoption of a particular method will depend
upon the nature of work and the climate conditions. The following methods of curing of
concrete are generally adopted.
 Shading concrete work
 Covering concrete surface with gunny bags.
 Sprinkling of water.
 Ponding method.
 Membrane curing.
 Steam curing.
a) Ponding method
This is the best method of curing. It is suitable for curing horizontal surfaces such as
floors, roof slabs, road and air field pavements. The horizontal top surfaces of beams can also
be ponded. After placing the concrete, its exposed surface is first covered with moist canvas.
After 24 hours, these covers are removed and small ponds of clay or sand are built across and
along the pavements. The area is thus divided into a number of rectangles. The water is filled
between the ponds. The filling of water in these ponds is done twice or thrice a day,
depending upon the atmospheric conditions. Though this method is very efficient, the water
requirement is very heavy. Ponds easily break and water flows out. After curing it is difficult
to clean the clay.
Fig 11: curing by ponding method

b) Covering concrete surface with gunny bags

This widely used method of curing, particularly for structural concrete. Thus exposed
surface of concrete is prevented from drying out by covering it with gunny bags, canvas or
empty cement bags. The covering over vertical and sloping surfaces should be securing
properly. These are periodically wetted. The interval of wetting will depend upon the rate of
evaporation of water. It should be ensured that the surface of concrete is not allowed to dry
even for a short time during the curing period. Special arrangement for keeping the surface
wet must be made at nights and on holidays.

7.3.5. VACUUM DEWATERED FLOORS

In order to obtain a high quality concrete floor using this method, it is essential to
follow the various operations in the correct sequence. Firstly the floor is divided into panels
with the help of steel channels. These panels are filled with concrete which is braided with
the help of needle vibrator. There after leveling and compaction is done, special type of mat
is placed over it. The micropores of this mat do not allow cement particles to go out. Within
45 minutes of placing concrete vacuum is created which sucks the water from the concrete.
The water in the concrete is extracted from the top surface not by vacuum itself but also by
the atmospheric pressure acting on the upper surface of the concrete around the vacuum zone.
Schematic showing vacuum dewatering process

The flooring operation takes place immediately after the vacuum treatment and helps
in mixing and grinding of the top layer resulting in a strong and wear resistance surface,
power troweling of this surface, further improves the wear resistance of the floor and gives a
very fine finish. The concrete curing is started after the gap of one day.
Steps involved in Vacuum Dewatering process

a) Take usual precautions to prepare sound sub-base by well compacted murum and a
levelling course comprising of lean concrete as per good engineering practices.
b) The floor or pavement should be structurally designed from the point of view of load.
The site of base and joint system is also decided from various other considerations.
c) The system calls for an absolutely leveled and lined rigidly held form work over the
base. MS channel of depth equal to the depth of the concrete slab could be right frame
work.
d) Place the concrete within the frame work upto level slightly above the top surface of
frame work and then compact the same thoroughly with needle vibrator. The
double beam screed vibrator is then placed on MS channels. It is pulled from the end
to the other or for a part length by two people. Any depressions existing at the surface
must be made up when you drag the screed vibrator. Any extra concrete existing over

and above the top level of the MS channel is removed so that the load of the concrete
floor surface is correctly maintained by the double beam screed vibrator.
e) On completion of screed board vibrations, spread the filter MAT & top mat (Suction
Mat) over the concrete base & connect the same to vacuum pump through the suction
hose and start the pump. A required vacuum is created between the concrete and
Suction Mat which helps in removing the water in the body of concrete in a
controlled manner. The vacuum process for extraction of water takes about 1.5 to 2
minutes/centimeter thickness of concrete slab. (Say about 15 to 20 min. for 10cm
thick slab). The vacuum treated concrete becomes so hard that a man can walk on the
concrete for further operation.
f) Remove the Suction Mat and start the floating operation with a circular disk. When a
satisfactory level is obtained, operate the Power Trowel with finishing blade. The
blades with cut the laitance or extra mortar if any present on the surface due to initial
bleeding, settling and vibrations. The surface brought to such a condition to expose
fine aggregate and course aggregate firmly embedded in cement paste. Such a
condition will give an absolute wear resistance to the concrete floor. The application
of Power Float followed by Power Trowel will also result in a kind of controlled
revibration which helps in segmenting the possible capillary cavities in the body of
concrete.

2. Auto Level
Fig 18: total station

Total Station:
Total station is a surveying equipment combination of electromagnetic Distance
Measuring instrument and electronic theodolite. It is also integrated with microprocessor,
electronic data collector and storage system. The instrument can be used to measure
Horizontal and vertical angles as well as sloping distance of object to the instrument.
1. The Total station is mounted on a tripod and is leveled by operating leveling screws.
Within a small range instrument is capable of adjusting itself to the level position.
2. Then Vertical and horizontal reference directions are indexed using onboard keys.
3. In site it was used to transfer the coordinate points and measure distances.
Auto level:
It is known as dumpy level or builder’s auto level, is a laser marking, optical measuring
device used to establish horizontal plane.

9. PLANNING
Planning is the process of organizing the activities required to achieve a desired goal. It
involves the creation and maintenance of a plan, such as psychological aspects that require
conceptual skills. Planning is one of the important part of the project Management.
Project management is the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and
closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific criteria.
Here, planning is doing by using Microsoft Project software. It is the most popular
project management software.
The application is designed to assist project managers in developing plans, assigning
resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing budgets and analyzing workloads.
