Before Starting any work, generally, the process of cleaning
occupies, the priority. Similarly, before starting construction,the costruction
site should be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for construction.This is called
purging of the site from evil effects.This process requires a well experienced
mason, who is as important as engineer.An inexperienced mason with his
inefficiency may mar the fortunes of the residents of the proposed house.
Many masons have correct understanding of Vaastu, brought by
generations. The masons should possess accurate tools to mark the directions
and to measure the site. Their important tools, setsquare to fix, correct
corners, intermediate directions, and plumb line to ensure perpendicular
accuracy of the walls, should be used with diligence. The same tools should be
used until the construction is completed, otherwise, there may be differences
in areas of the rooms and place in between parallel walls.
Marking
directions:
First the mason should identify all the eight directions
correctly, which is followed by cleaning, and preparation of plot. The
directions, south, west, and southwest must be elevated than east,north, and northeast.
Any pits, shallow places, wells in weak or unfavourable positions should be
filled up. The surface of the site should be levelled with raise in the
directions of south, west and southwest. Avoid sites with anthills.
Levelling and reforming, raising in the site must be done
before starting construction, but not after, to avoid evil effects of Vaastu. A
well or bore well must be sunk in north east, east or north after the
foundation is laid and only its water must be used for construction. At least,
a sump must be laid in any of these directions. Do not store, the construction
materials like bricks, tiles, wood, steel, stones, lime in north, east or
northeast use south, west or southwest for storing them.
Starting of work:
Work should ensure that the excavation starts from northeast
and proceeds towards north west. Repeat the same process from northeast to
southeast and from northwest to southwest.This process should end by
excavating the southern side from southeast to southwest. The work of
foundation must start from southwest to southeast, southwest to northwest;
southeast to northeast and end from northwest to northeast. Similar process is
required for wall constructions. Importantly, at the end of any day, the walls
at southern and western sides should be higher than the walls at north and
eastern sides. The temperature in the locality determines the height of walls;
prefer high ceiling if the temperature is high and low ceiling if temperature is
low.
Pillars:
Pillars should square or cylindrical in shape but pillars at
southeast must be invariably square in shape. Main entrance should not face the
edge of any wall, pillar, or compound wall. Likewise there should not be any
tree, well, sump, pit in front of the main door. The northeast corner of the
outer walls, compound wall should never be rounded off, where as it is
permitted in other comers. Do not have arches of semicircular shape on gates
located on eastern and northern sides, but such semicircular arches are
permitted on gates located in south and west.
Flooring:
The flooring of the house should laid so as to facilitate
the flow of water from southwest to northeast. The level of doors should gradually
go on reducing from south to north and west to east. The floor level of the
rooms in southwest should always be higher when compared to other rooms in the
house and it should be lowest at northeast. The flooring should be strong and
firm avoiding any shallow sound. If you are demolishing any old house, start it
from northeast and store reusable items in southern or western parts of the
site, since the work if starting from south or West brings ill health to senior
male and female member of the house. An experienced mason knows most of these
basic principles who plays an important role.
