ABSTRACT
JAIPUR is one of the city in our country. As it is rapidly developing the
construction in the city is very costly. Economic point of view if the building is
constructed at a far distance from the city it will be cheaper and residents can live
peaceful without any external polluted sources. Having a peaceful surroundings is
the main point of view of most of the people in today’s lifestyle.

3. DEMAND OF HOUSES
The house is the first unit of the society and it is the primary unit of human habitation. The house
is built to grant the protection against wind, weathers, and to give insurance against physical
insecurity of all kinds.
The special features of the demand for housing consists of in its unique nature and depend on the
following factors.
• Availability of cheap finance.
• Availability of skilled labours.
• Availability of transport facility.
• Cost of labours & material of construction.
• Predictions of future demand.
• Rate of interest on investment e. g., low rates of interest with facilities of long term payment may
facilities investment in housing.
• Rate of population growth and urbanization.
• Supply of developed plots at reasonable prices.
• Taxation policy on real estates
• Town planning & environmental conditions.

5. SELECTION OF PLOT AND STUDY
Selection of plot is very important for buildings a house. Site should be in good place where
there community but service is convenient but not so closed that becomes a source of
inconvenience or noisy. The conventional transportation is important not only because of present
need but for retention of property value in future closely related to are transportation, shopping,
facilities also necessary. One should observe the road condition whether there is indication of
future development or not in case of undeveloped area.
The factor to be considered while selecting the building site are as follows:-
• Access to park & playground.
• Agriculture polytonality of the land.
• Availability of public utility services, especially water, electricity & sewage disposal.
• Contour of land in relation the building cost. Cost of land.
• Distance from places of work.
• Ease of drainage.
• Location with respect to school, collage & public buildings.
• Nature of use of adjacent area.
• Transport facilities.
• Wind velocity and direction.

13. 13
6. SURVEY OF THE SITE FOR PROPOSED BUILDING
Reconnaissance survey: the following has been observed during reconnaissance survey of
the site.
• Site is located nearly.
• The site is very clear planned without ably dry grass and other throne plats over the entire
area.
• No levelling is require since the land is must uniformly level.
• The ground is soft.
• Labour available near by the site.
• Houses are located near by the site.
• Detailed survey: the detailed survey has been done to determine the boundaries of the
required areas of the site with the help of theodolite and compass.

7. RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Requirement for residential accommodation are different for different classes of people &
depends on the income &status of the individual a highly rich family with require a
luxurious building, while a poor man we satisfied with a single room house for even poor
class family.
A standard residential building of bungalow type with has drawing room, dining room office
room, guest room, kitchen room, store, pantry, dressing room, bath room, front verandas,
stair etc., for other house the number of rooms may be reduced according to the requirements
of many available.
a) LIMITATION OF BUILT UP AREA
The built up area is the constructed area of the building which include wall thickness. Therefore,
built up area is the area remaining after deducting open space area from the plot area i.e. the total
area purchased for the proposed building plan. Carpet area is the built up area less the area
occupied by the walls. When open space area is restricted then the built up area of any building is
automatically restricted. According to the use there are restriction on built up areas as given
below:-
1. In a bazar market area, the built up area shall not exceed 75% of the site area, provided
sample space for parking is available on the same site.
2. In an industrial area, the built up area shall not exceed 60% of the site area.
3. In case of residential building, the built up area are stated below:-

15. 15
Area of plot up to 200sq.m (240sq.yd) ---- maximum permissible built up area
Ground and first ---- 60% of site area on floor only.
201 to 500sq.m (241to 600sq.yd) ---- 50% of the site area.
501 to 1000sq.m (601 to 1200sq.yd) ---- 40% of the site area
More than 1000sq.m ---- 33% of the site area.
b) MINIMUM FLOOR AREA & HEIGHT OF ROOMS

8. BUILDING BYE LAWS & REGULATIONS
A bye laws is the local laws framed by a competent authority. Every locality has its own
peculiarities with respect to the climate conditions, geological conditions, i.e. availability of
material for construction, labours, etc. if the building is built up in a definite planned way, the
construction become economically sound and safe. As there such must be a laws or regulations
on the part of the owners while building his own house. If not, the house owner under his
ownership right will construct the house, which may affect the interests of others in respect of
health and convenience. The landlord will take only profit into account and spread minimum
amount to get the maximum benefit. The builder takes everything for granted and hopes to get
away with everything. Hence, there must be restriction to limit the power of the builder or owner
to deal with the property. This is done under building regulations which are a compressive code
of building bye-laws.
• Line of building frontage and minimum plot sizes.
• Open spaces around residential building.
• Minimum standard dimensions of building elements.
• Provisions for lighting and ventilation.

17. 17
• Provisions for safety from explosion.
• Provisions for means of access.
• Provisions for drainage and sanitation.
• Provisions for safety of works against hazards.
• Requirements for off-street parking spaces.
• Requirements for landscaping.
• Special requirements for low income housing.
• Size of structural elements.
9. ARRANGEMENT OF ROOMS
LIVING ROOM
• KITCHEN
• STORE ROOM
• BED ROOM
• OFFICE ROOM
• BATH & W C
• DRESSING ROOM

18. 18
• VERANDAH
• STAIR CASE
LIVING ROOMS:
This is the area is for general use. Hence the living & drawing room should be planned near the
entrance south east aspects. During colder day the sun is towards the south & will receive
sunshine which is a welcoming feature. During summer sunshine it the northern side & entry of
sunrays from southern or south – east aspects do not arise. The nominal size of the drawing room
may be 4m × 5m. The size should better be determined by the kind of furniture needed. The size
and shape of the furniture further depends upon the living standard of the family and the purpose
it is going to be served. The doors should have a minimum width of 900 mm so that the piece of
heavy furniture could be easily moved and out. Position of doors in the living room is important.
KITCHEN:
Kitchen is a very important room in a house. Health, comfort and happiness of the family directly
depends upon the kitchen. The minimum area for kitchen is 5.5 m2
. For kitchen having separate
store 4.5 m2
may be the minimum area. Eastern aspects to admit morning sun to refresh & purity
the air.
READING ROOM/ CLASS ROOM:
North aspects this makes more suitable since there will be no sun from north side for most part of
the year.
BED ROOM:
They are the most important room in a house as one spend more than one-third of his life at rest,
in sleep here. Two person are commonly supposed to occupy one room. While designing bed

19. 19
rooms a minimum of 10 m3
of space for an adult and about 6 m3 of space for every child under
ten should be made available. Bed may also be provided with attached toilets, there size depends
upon the number of beds, they should be located so as to give privacy & should accommodate
beds, chair, cupboard, etc., and they should have north – west or south – west aspect. From a
practical point of view, 4m × 3m has been found to be a good size for a bed room in a house for
the middle class family.
BATH & W.C:
Bath and W.C. are usually combined in one room & attached to the bed room and should be
well finished. This should be filled with bath tub, shower, wash-hand basin, W.C., shelves,
towels, racks brackets, etc., all of white glazed tiles. Floor should be mosaic or white glazed
files. Instead of providing all bed room with attached bath and W.C separated baths & latrines
may also be provided
VERANDAH:
There should verandah in the front as well as in the rear. The front verandah serves setting place
for male members & waiting place for visitors. The back verandah serve a ladies apartment for
their sitting, working controlling, kitchen works etc., verandah project the room against direct
sun, rain & weather effect. They used as sleeping place during the summer and rainy season &
are used to keep various things verandah also give appearance to the building. The area of a
building may vary from 10% to 20% of the building. In order to secure comfort, verandah on the
south and west are indispensable. Providing verandah on the east and north is a luxury rather than
necessity. If the verandah is used simply for the sake of a passage or corridor it need not be more
than 1m to 20 m wide. Any width more than this for this purpose is a waste. If, however, it is to
be used as a sitting room or a waiting room its width should be 1.8 m as a minimum. A verandah
more than 4 m wide is uneconomical.

20. 20
STAIR CASE:
This should be located in an easily accessible to all members of the family, when this is intended
for visitors it should be in the front, may be on one side of verandah. It meant for family use
only, the staircase should be placed the rear. The stairs case should be well ventilated & lighted
the middle to make it easy & comfortable to climb. Rises & threads should be uniform through to
keep rhythm while climbing or descending. The minimum clear head room in any stair case shall
be 2.2 m. the same head room is to be maintained in landing and passage as well. His minimum
clear width of stair case in case of residential buildings should not less than 1 m.
Some helpful points regarding the orientation of a building are as follows: -
• East and west because if the long walls are provided in east facing, the wall.
• Absorb more heat of sun which causes discomfort during night.
• A verandah or balcony can be provided to wards east & west to keep the rooms cool.
• To prevent sun’s rays & rain from entering a room through external doors & windows
sunshades are required in all directions.
10. SANITATION PROVISION
It deals with providing sufficient natural light, ventilation and sanitary conveniences in the
building.
LIGHT - all the rooms should have proper natural light in the day and artificial light in the
night. The sunlight also kills the disease germs, prevents dampness in the buildings and also
prevents breeding of insects etc. the light should be uniformly distributed in the rooms.

21. 21
VENTILATION – Ventilation may be defined as the system of supplying or removing air by
natural or mechanical mean or from any enclosed space to create and maintain comfortable
conditions. Operation of building and location to windows helps in providing proper ventilation.
A sensation of comfort, reduction in humidity, removal of heat, supply of oxygen are the basic
requirements in ventilation apart from reduction of dust. The fresh air should reach in each and
every room in required quantity. It is obtained by proper ventilation, by providing windows,
doors and ventilators in the proper direction so that natural air directly enters the room without
obstructions. If the natural air cannot enter in required quantity it can be done by artificial means.
SANITARY CONVENIENCES – the rooms and other parts of the buildings should
remain in clean condition. The responsibility lies with the occupants. But water reaching in the
building at proper pressure, water and sanitary fitting of quality standard, adequate number of
fittings, etc. are the primary requirements during the planning and designing of the buildings.
11. VAASTU
Vaastu means the dwelling of human and gods. Vaastu shastra tells us how to build a house so
as to be happy and prosperous. it is a traditional system of architecture and design of vedic
origin. Houses, villages, town and cities should be designed according to the vaastu. The
principle of vaastu are derived from vaastu purush mandala, a man lying with his head – pointing
north-east, in a grid of 64 squares dedicated to different gods. It is believed that the world
comprises of five basic and essential element known as SPACE, AIR, FIRE WATER and
EARTH.
BEDROOM:-
North –west: - the room in this direction is suitable for the guest and girls.
South – west: - the chief of the house should have his room in this direction.

22. 22
North-east: - no bedroom should be situated in this direction.
South – east: - no bedroom should be located in this direction. The children do not take intrest in
studies.
BATHROOM: - it should be in the west-south direction and flow of its drain should be
toward north-east.
DOORS: - the doors should be in the north and east. When someone enters through the door,
the waves emerging from the doors affect his mind because the magnetic waves always flows
around us.
DRAWING ROOM: - it should be in the north-west, south or west direction. In the Morden
drawing room, the furniture should be kept in the south and west direction.
KITCHEN: - the kitchen should be situated in fire angle i.e. in south-east. The face of the
cook should be toward the east. It is better if the stone on which food is cooked is of red colour.
STAIR CASE: - the stair case can be constructed in any direction except north-east.
PLACE OF WORKSHIP: - this is the place where good ideas flow. If it is in the north-
east and the face of the idol is toward north or east then the property of the house is assured. To
gain knowledge, one should offer workship keeping his face northward and should sit near the
northern wall and to gain economic prosperity one should keep one’s face towards east and
should sit in the eastern side of the room.

CONCLUSION
We can conclude that there is difference between the theoretical and practical work done. As
the scope of understanding will be much more when practical work is done. As we get more
knowledge in such a situation where we have great experience doing the practical work.
Knowing the loads we have designed the slabs depending upon the ratio of longer to shorter span
of panel.
