LOW COST HOUSING

Image
                    Low Cost Housing is a new concept which deals with effective budgeting and following of techniques which help in reducing the cost construction through the use of locally available materials along with improved skills and technology without sacrificing the strength, performance and life of the structure. There is huge misconception that low cost housing is suitable for only  sub standard  works and they are constructed by utilizing cheap building materials of low  quality.The  fact is that Low cost housing is done by proper management of  resources.Economy  is also achieved by postponing finishing works or implementing them in phases. Building Cost The building construction cost can be divided into two parts namely: Building material  cost :  65 to 70 % Labour  cost :  65 to 70 % Now in low cost housing, building material cost is less because we make use of the locally available materials and also the labour cost can be reduced by properly making

PLAIN SURVEY AND GEODETIC SURVEY

                              Plane and geodetic survey are two different methods used in surveying to measure and map the Earth's surface. While they share some similarities, they are distinct approaches with different purposes and techniques. Plane Survey: Plane survey, also known as plane surveying, is a method of surveying that assumes the Earth's surface is flat and neglects the curvature of the Earth. It is typically used for small-scale surveys, such as local surveys for construction projects, property boundaries, and mapping small areas. Plane surveying techniques include measuring angles and distances using traditional surveying instruments such as theodolites, total stations, and tape measures. The measurements are usually made on a horizontal plane, and elevation differences are not taken into account in plane surveying. Geodetic Survey: Geodetic survey, also known as geodetic surveying, is a method of surveying that accounts for the curvature of the Earth and uses
