- This video shows how to go about setting out the position of a building on your block of land.
This is my second attempt at uploading this video the first one cut a couple of minutes off the end.
Just wanted to thank u for ur videos; setting out, two peg test, height of collimation and the others, they were crucial in my Cert IV. Most appreciated.
I am planning to construct my own house here in India. No college here teaches such practical stuff. Though I hold a degree in civil engineering, I could never know how to build a house practically. For the first time through your video I could understand how the layout of a plan is done :-)). Great stuff BuildSum, your sketches are so clear, a high school student can understand what is going on. Really appreciate your sharing of such important steps in starting our own dream house. It really helps. I hope you will upload more such videos after this following a sequence of building construction, especially simple residential buildings with 9 columns. Such practical education is lacking in India, just rut the books and get marks, that's all they teach here. ALL THE BEST.
India has a terrible education and sewerage system
Hi Buildsum,
Very informative video. I have learnt more about building set out in the last 22min than I have in the last four years of studying construction management at uni.
Thanks,
Anthony

Video's like these give UA-cam true value! Thanks!
Thanks Bull I'm glad you like them
So well done. Concise and to the point.
Bull Euston 👍
Thank you 👍 It is the first time, that i found such great explanations 🙏
Thanks Mate, I'm glad it was helpful!
YOUR A RIGHT TEACHER FOR SCAFFOLDING TEACHING. THANK YOU GURU
Very nice explanation. Regards from the UK
This video has helped me immensely. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Mate, I'm glad it helped!
Fantastic mate. UA-cams best kept secret. Handy tips to make things easier. Thanks!
+James Reti Thanks James Please don't feel that you have to keep it a secret
Everyone should get on it. I've been building for a while but it's good to be open to better ways of doing things. Ill let everyone know but that might be more competition for me having a lot of clued up builders!
Alot of work in these videos, Nothings been overlooked. Thanks again mate
+James Reti Thanks James
Hi higgi2005
Sorry if I have caused some confusion.
The brick wall in the video was shown to illustrate the relationship between the wall and edge of the slab or footing. It is however out of sequence for the method of construction. Once the slab is poured and given time to cure the Timber walls would be marked out, constructed and erected before the Brick Veneer wall is constructed.
Thanks for subscribing

THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN A GOOD HELP TO ME . THNAK YOU SIR
Thanks Mate
Great explanations. Clearly understandable video.
Thanks Mate, I'm glad you liked it
Great work indeed - thanks very much - you've explained it very clearly
Hi Jon, thanks for your comment.
thanks for sharing this type of video, i found it very informative
Thanks Mate, Glad it was helpful!
so so so brilliantly explained !!
Thanks Mate, I'm glad it was helpful!
This was a great video. Very informative aI must say.
Thanks for your comment Seon, I'm glad you like it.

Very clear and precise👏👏👏👏👑
Great tutorial - wish my last builder had watched this first!
thank you so much for these life saver!!!
You're welcome!
What about a steel frame building? By the way your video's are brilliant. Very well explained and also why you do what you do.
Hi Mate, thanks, no difference for a Steel frame building at this stage of the build.
Architects should know how to do this as well. ;)
Im a architect working for a builder. We always setback 950mm from the boundary to avoid fire compliance issues. The minimum is actually 900mm, however we all know its hard to build a wall perfectly straight and allows for tolerance. Every architect I worked for designed to 900mm setback, now I always design 950mm unless the wall is fire rated.
@@jonoozzo737 I was an architectural student, now I'm working as a deputy foreman in the construction business. Yes, it is common for us now to put tolerance in the design to avoid concil issues and workmanship roughness.
so clear ..and so good ...have understood ..thanks
thank you Australian Man
Thanks Mate.
excellently, very good help for learning engineering
this is great however how the hell does the digger get in to dig the footings? do we transfer the markings with sand and remove the lines, temporarily?
Thanks, these videos are very helpful. I am however struggling to find the videos in a sequence (so that I may watch one today and the following one tomorrow). Is there a list of the videos in their sequence?
Ruzaiq Omar HI Ruzaiq I'm happy that you find the videos helpful. As for a sequence there isn't one there are so many possibilities in the process of building a house that a start to finish sequence that covers every video is impossible.
The process of building would basically be Foundations, Footings, Sub Floor, Flooring, Walls, Roofing, Eaves, Roof Covering, Install Windows,Cladding, Pre sheet, Lining, Fix out (Doors, Architrave, Skirting etc). You will find multiple videos for all of these area different methods and calculations
The videos in this play list may give you a better idea of the different construction processes

Thanks a lot. There is very little of this type of content out there so these videos are massively helpful. So glad I found this!
can we skip the pegs at the start and go straight to a profile hurdle. measuring to the millimetre on the pegs but the peg height not level on sloping ground so when I plumb Bob up from the pegs my string lines on the profile boards is out.
Hi
You can go straight to the profile as long as you have an idea where your corners will be so you set your profiles up in the correct spot. It also might take a bit longer to get square but it is possible
Hi. Is it possible to provide a sequence for your videos from the start of surveying the land through the process of foundations, the walls to floors to roof etc. Thanks
Buildsum Hi Buildsum if you can send over your organised playlist that will be great. I'm doing a course in building and your videos really help cheers
Alan Gan 👍
very helpful. thanks mate
Awesome. Thank you
awesome video, cheers
How did you get your height? Is it the NGL?
Hi Mate, It would normally be given on the plans as the FFL, finished floor level or you can work it out from that.
@@Buildsum thanks fir the quick response mate, I messed up my question.
When setting the heights for the slab boxing will the surveyor set the NGL on a brick wall with a pin or a stake and then I level from that?
Hi Mate, normally a surveyor will set a datum on the site from which you can get the heights you need. but they wouldn't give you the actual height of the floor. The start of this video may help

@@Buildsum thanks mate, that's what I thought.
@@Buildsum yea I thought so, cheers haven't done a set out since TAFE.
Thanks
Thanks Mate.
Very good!
Thanks, Waxeye, I'm glad you like it.
Thank mate good work
Thanks kamal, no problem.
May I ask what's this software? Thx
Hi Robin, I use SketchUp for all my drawings.
Like your videos very help especially like me doing building design which is part of my course unit.
any chance to have video calculating bearer/joist span and spacing and eaves and roof details please
THank you
Hi Alex Thanks for you comments
The span of a Bearer depends on it strength and is generally determined from Span Tables. In Australia we use AS 1684 The Timber Framing Code.
here is a video ua-cam.com/video/C_RjNORQoeo/v-deo.html
The spacing of the bearers is determined by the Span of the joists
ua-cam.com/video/H-0xukcgCQE/v-deo.html
The spacing of the joists is in turn determined by the span of the flooring that will sit on it.
Hope this helps
Thanks!
Awesome!
Thanks Mate
just a quick question: Do Australia share the same or similar building code with New Zealand?
+Mark Anthony Hi Mark Alot of our Stanards are Australian and New Zealand Standards however the building code and the Timber Framing code aren't.
Unfortunately i have not had any experiance with the NZ Building code so can't comment further.
Sir 90°angle ke liye site pe sidhi base line kaise khiche
bro you can check 90° by using 3,4,5 method which is the method of Pythagoras.
sir plz tell me what software did you used for this tutorial....
+Saeed Khan Hi Saeed I use Google SketchUp for all of my videos
thanx
Can u please show us how to
Read drawing in detiels thank u
the best video on this topic i have watched so far thank you
Wow, thanks mate I'm glad you liked it.
Could you do a video of how to set out with a total station, EDM ?
Hi SovetskyCCCP Unfortunately I have only ever set out with a Total Station and I don't think I know it well enough to explain it properly, sorry
Buildsum Thanks for the quick reply, I couldn't find an in depth video like this for setting out with a total station, maybe you have found one ?
thanks very helpful

nice

its good video for tvet treiner
Awkward subject very well explained, many thanx
Glad you liked it!
this is wrong, 6m*8m=10m or a2+b2=c2/√ 36+64=100
Hi Mate, im not sure what you mean, the square root of 100 is 10 so it works.
@@Buildsum 6:55 I was sure on the left side was 5m.....after I chech again is 6m. Sorry I was to fast to write is wrong.
are you a builder?
Buildsum oh great, I find your vids very instructive. I'm a graduate Engineer currently working with residential projects. Keep up the good work.
This was a great help set out 2 building plots today! Thank you very much!
Would love to see this exact process but using a theodolite instead. Hopefully, you can do one as your videos are great!
Are there tape measures that run 24 meters?
Hi Mate, Yes,, you can get them up to 100m.

By the way, do you have any tutorials of doing this on a sloping site?
+sdjnwhyNZ No sorry
Ur a legend mate
Thanks Mate.
Very helpful. Thanks so much
Thanks Patrick, I'm glad you like it.
I'm writing courseware related to the Cert IV in Building and Construction and I've found this quite helpful. Thanks, Buildsum!
Anna Kelman Thanks Anna glad you like it
Thank you for this, profiles confused me a little until I watched this, great content.
Thanks Mate, Glad it was helpful!
Very Very Good Man I Love It
Thanks Mate.
Thanks Buildsum. Love all your videos.
My house will not sit parallel with ANY boundary due to easements and the peculiar shape of the block. How do I go about finding my starting point and first line in this situation? Thanks.
Hi Richard
You may be better off getting a surveyor to pin the 4 corners of your building envelope otherwise there should be enough information on your plans to establish the position of at least 2 corners so you can establish a baseline to get your right angle off. If you don't have enough information you may need to go back to your architect or draftsman and get that information added to the plans.
Hope this helps.
Sure does. I have realised that I need the draftsman to put more side/rear/front setbacks on the plans to have at least 2 distances off each facade (or at least one facade) to get my first straight line (which is non parallel to any boundary). From there I can use the 345 method to get right angles and extend the line to the next corner. In reality I will pay a surveyor to do the work.... it doesn't stop me from exploring the DIY possibilities and the cost of a dumpy!
Thanks for your advice.
How come levelling is ignored in establishing the boundary of the building envelope
Hi Anthony, I'm not sure that it is ignored rather than assumed. Remember the steps shown in this video would only happen after the finished ground level has been established. The block would either be levelled before you start setting out or all the setting out would be set at a known height.
really awesome video, thanks mate!
Thanks Mate, I'm glad you like it.
thanks mate, was extremely helpful
U do private course like Tafe
Hi mate, no, just the videos sorry.
Your explanations are perfect
Thanks Mate, I'm Glad you like them!
good stuff. thank you

Great video mate! Keep it up
Thanks Mate, I'm glad you like it.
nice job.
This was informative. Thanks!
Thanks, Cole Glad you like it
thank you for that - very helpful
No Problem Toby Glad you like it.
subscribed to ur channel....more informative vid like this please....currently studying building and so far all you vid been VERY VERY helpful!!!!! Keep it up man
Great video. Would it not be possible to set up a single marker peg and string line at each corner indicating the centre line for the footing and then measure equal distance from the C/L for the width of the trench ?
Hi Saul, I guess it would be however the centre line of the footing is never indicated on the plans so you would have to work that out first, also when marking out for a Excavator you only need to mark the one side of the trench and use the correct sized bucket for the trench width. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done however it is not the industry norm.
I have kicked a peg... I was a teen...
how can i save these videos
