The following is an example of the Rayken Construction building process;
Stage 1: Site cut and Under Slab Drainage
Setting out involves marking out the site to indicate where the foundation trenches are to be dug, and the position of the walls on the concrete foundations. The drainage contractors will install all drainage and storm water pipes to the necessary locations. At this stage, the electrician and telephone contractors will install their cables from the services at the street to their locations on the building.
Stage 2: Slab ( Base stage)
The Concrete Slab, which is the foundation of the house, will be built according to the engineering design to suit the site conditions and the designs of the building. The concreter will prepare the reinforced steel to strengthen the slab, while the engineer inspects the preparations being done. Once passed, the slab will be poured out.
Stage 3: Wall frame and Roof frame Stage (Frame stage)
The carpenter will now set out the location of the wall frames and secure them to the slab. The frames will then be braced with metal or timber, ready for roof truss. The carpenter will set out the location of the trusses on top of the wall frames using appropriate tie down and fixing according to the engineering design.
Stage 4: Main Roof Covered
Metal roof sheeting or roof tiles will be installed on the roof according to your design.
Stage 5: Plumbing and Electrical Rough Ins
Pipes and wirings are placed according to the design before starting the brickwork or plasterwork.
Stage 6: Brickwork
Insulation foil will be installed outside the wall frame prior to laying the bricks to external walls.

Sound insulation materials will be installed inside the wall frame prior to the installation of plaster boards. Once the plasterboard for the wall and ceiling is completed, the cornice will be installed to decorate the joint between the walls and the ceiling.
Stage 8: Window and Doors (enclose stage)
All windows and external doors will be installed and fitted. Now the house is completely closed.

Stage 18: Presentation to Customer
Setting out involves marking out the site to indicate where the foundation trenches are to be dug, and the position of the walls on the concrete foundations. The drainage contractors will install all drainage and storm water pipes to the necessary locations. At this stage the electrician and telephone contractors will install their cables from the services at the street to their locations on the building.
The site supervisor will conduct the final hand over of the house and run through the house and all the paper works.
