1.Removal of garbage and unwanted things in proposed construction site
You must remove all the garbage and unnecessary items that may be there before building a house. Because if there are unnecessary plastic items or other items there, there is a chance that they will disappear in the soil when the foundation for building a house is laid. Without knowing it, when we use that soil, those unnecessary items will remain intact in the soil without decaying. Therefore, the place where the house is being built should always be kept clean. The first thing to do is to remove the unnecessary items

Before starting the construction of the house, we must first set up a place for the workers to stay.

Not only that, You also need to set up a separate thing to keep the cement bags safe because cement bags should not be kept outside. We definitely need to do this to ensure that the cement does not get damaged in case of rain or any other problems.
3. Enquiring of details of adjacent land owners if it’s vacant and required for our construction purpose
If there is any vacant land, it is better to get permission from the owner of that land in advance.

Therefore, it is better to get permission from them and use that land.
4. Enquiring about groundwater yield with neighbor house and Identifying of water yield for drilling of bore well by traditional or scientific method
Water is a very important requirement for building a house. To know if the water is good, you can ask the people living nearby.

Therefore, the water must be good water. If you do not know any details about the water, then get the water tested and if the report comes that the water is suitable for building a house, we can use the water.
5. Applying for temporary supply of electricity from TNEB
Before that, you should establish the electricity requirement at that place because electricity is essential for running the machines and other needs during the construction of the house. Therefore, you should apply to the Electricity Board for temporary electricity requirement and obtain electricity in advance. This electricity demand will take at least two weeks to a month.

9. Fixing of soil testing contractor if soil is clay
Just like water, you need to know the soil that may be there well. You need to know if that soil is of good quality for building a house.

Because if the soil you are building on is clay, you will need to lay the foundation two or three times thicker than normal, depending on the quality of the soil.
