FOREWORD
For many years the demand has far outstripped the supply for housing in
Jamaica. In recent years recession in the economy has resulted in a further
widening of this gap.
Shortfall in the housing stock, by the public or private sector, has forced house
seekers to self directed means to satisfy their needs. This at times has led to
many dwellings being constructed informally without adherence to building
safety codes and practices, which specifies minimum accepted building
requirements.
Jamaica is located in the hurricane and earthquake zones. Hence, shortcoming in
building construction has created a grave concern for the possible loss of lives
and damage to property that could result in the event of these natural disasters.
The Incorporated Masterbuilders Association of Jamaica has recognized the
inherent dangers of improperly constructed dwellings and seek to offer this
Basic Construction Manual as a guide to owners, small contractors and builders
of single storey domestic dwellings with the hope that adherence to the
minimum standards outlined will reduce the risk of loss of live and property.
In addition to construction guidelines, this manual also includes the latest Joint
Industry Council’s (JIC) rates available at the time of printing, along with a
listing of suggested job work rates for a number of construction activities.
These job work rates are provided only as a guide when negotiating rates.
Several factors such as, the condition of work, scope of work and geography,
will have varying impacts on these rates. Therefore, it is suggested that these
factors be considered when negotiating rates, as the ones included in this manual
may not be the latest being used in the industry. Copies of the latest rates are
always available from the office of the Incorporated Masterbuilders Association
of Jamaica.
Also included is an example of a simplified Form of Agreement that may be
used by owners and contractor / builder when a dwelling is to be constructed. It
is advisable that some form of written contract be entered into as projects at
times do not always end amicably.

DIGGING THE FOUNDATION TRENCH
e
Remove the building lines attached to the profile board to avoid them getting
broken.
e
Replace the lines in the notches on the profile boards should you need to check
the accuracy of the trench layout.
e
Foundation trenches should always be dug deep enough to reach firm soil.
The sides of the foundation trench should be vertical, the bottom level and the
comers must be square.
e
Check that the soil at the bottom of the trench is firm. If not, the supervisor
must ensure that action is taken to appropriately reinforce the foundation.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
*
Deepen the trench until firm soil is reached. If deep foundation is not
reached then an alternate foundation design must be considered- (raft
foundation or pile foundation) and a civil or structural engineer
should be consulted.
«
Alternate design for foundation may be expensive therefore in such
situations, it might be best to seek a better site.
ANTI-PEST TREATMENT
Treat the surface of the ground and excavations under the building with soil
poisoning chemicals to eradicate subterranean termites.
©
Pieeannc
No
1.
FOR CONCRETE
Pegs are driven into the bottom of the trench and leveled in order that a
minimum of 200mm (8”) thick allowance is made for concrete.
The trench must be made level by removing soil, never by adding soil. If soil
is added, the foundation may fail. It may mean digging the trench slightly
deeper, but it will ensure your building remains strong.
3.
Remember the purpose of the reinforced concrete foundation is to distribute
the weight of the building safely to firm soil.

The mix should be relatively stiff
and not soupy, to ensure adequate
strength.
The strength of the concrete is
affected by the amount of water in
the mix. Too much or too little
water gives weak concrete. Strong
concrete is not soupy or too stiff.
The amount of water added to get a good mix should be measured.
Mixing Board
For each batch
of concrete that follows, the same amount of water should be added to the mix.
This will ensure consistency in the strength of the mix.

STEP 12
When the water has been somewhat absorbed by the materials, use the shovel
and carefully mix, ensuring that the water does not escape from the center of
the mix.

After thoroughly mixing,
there should be consistency

Note:
When water was added the setting

Laying Concrete Blocks
It is of utmost importance that block walls are laid straight and plumbed
vertically. The best method to ensure this is by using corner rods which are
plumbed with a spirit level and stabilized with braces.
The rods may be of timber with a straightened edge, or light metal such as
aluminum. The line is fixed and leveled horizontally about 3/16” or 4mm away
from the wall. The mason uses this as a guide keeping the gap constant by eye
sight. He should not try to build close against the line.

1. Laying block is one of the most
common tasks performed by a
mason.
2. The most effective method of laying block is to use a mason’s
line as a guide.
3. Laying block to a line requires the use of many repetitive activities such as:

4. Now lets follow the procedure followed to lay block to a line.
5. First fix the masons line from corner to corner. In the case of the first course a
second line near the bottom edge of the block is required to plumb the first
course.
6. Safety note:
A line which fails to remain straight when pulled can cause serious injury to
people working on the line. Fix the line securely to the corners on guides.

7. Place the blocks along the line leaving enough space for spreading the mortar.
8. Next spread the mortar for bedding the first course.
9. Starting from the corner lay each block to the line gauging the cross joints.
@
10. The top end of the block should be level with the top of the line.
11. The clearance between the block and the line should be approximately 3/16" or
4mm.
12. Fill the cross joints solid.
13. For each subsequent course of blocks fit the line to the corners. Make sure that
the line is fixed to the same course height at each corner.
@
14. Place the blocks to be laid along the wall and spread mortar for the joint along
the top of the previous course.
15. Lay the blocks to the line taking care to regulate cross joints and
check the positioning of the top edge of the block with the mason’s line.

Function of Roof
The main function of a roof is to provide protection from the weather. In
our geographic location, the ability to resist the forces of hurricane is of utmost
importance.
Type of Roof structure
1. Timber Structure
This supports coverings such as:
e Sheets— zinc, aluminum (plain, troughed or corrugated)
e Shingles— wood, fiberglass, aluminum
e Tiles— clay, concrete
2. Reinforced Concrete Slab
This acts as both a structural element and cover.
We will focus on the construction of :
1. Timber roof structure supporting zinc or aluminum sheeting.

FINISHING
RENDERING/PAINTING
D
ESCRIPTION
RENDERING
This is the application of one or more coats of cement mortar to the surface of a block or stone wall to provide an even and smooth surface. This
may be done for beauty or to provide water proofing to the wall. Forming corners and straight edges in mortar requires great skill and time.
Rendering may be done inside and outside, the standard form
being two coats of 1/2” (12mm) thick cement mortar.
APPLICATION
¢
Holes or hollows in wall should be filled and any projecting blocks
e
All loose dirt and dust must be cleaned from walls.
e
Walls should be well dampened before applying rendering.
e
Rendering should start at the top of the wall and work downwards.
e
A board should be placed at the bottom of the wall to catch any
mortar that drops. This mortar can be used again providing it is still
fresh.
e
Rendering should be applied evenly and to correct thickness. This
can be ensured by screeding and lining out with plumb line and
level prior to commencing rendering.
¢
Outside corners should be dressed by using straight edge boards.
These should be checked and provided by a skilled carpenter.
These should be fixed so that they project past the end of the walls
by the desired thickness of the screeding.
e
Finishing to wall may be done with a wooden float or metal float
depending on the desired texture.
or mortar in joints chiseled off.

WHEN TO RENDER
It is advisable to apply rendering after most of the walls are substantially
completed and initial settlement of building has taken place.

effectively secure that work within the Industry proceeds smoothly
without interruption and at the highest attainable efficiency.
Accordingly the workers within the Industry and the Unions undertake
to use their best endeavours to ensure that there will be no strikes,
slow down or other interference with work on any project.
Employment in the construction industry is by nature temporary which
invariably results in workers being unable to qualify for Redundancy
payments, even after many years employment. In light of this the JIC
Labour Management Agreement had since 1975 included a provision
of 15% which was subsequently increased in 1989 to 16% paid on
basic single time rate of the total hours worked. This was to be paid at
the end of the worker's employment and was entitled End of Project
Bonus. This method of compensation will be discontinued henceforth.
The payment previously known as End of Project Bonus will be
replaced by the Construction Employment Premium which will be 16%
paid on and included in the basic single time rate of the total hours
worked. For the avoidance of doubt the Construction Employment
Premium will be added to and paid with the basic single time rate and
will be subject to the following conditions:
(a) The unions agree to co-operate in maintaining a high standard of
productivity and in controlling absenteeism.
The Construction Employment Premium shall be paid to

SUGGESTED
FOR
SUBCONTRACT
RATES
OR JOB WORK
Over the years the Incorporated Masterbuilders Association of Jamaica, have
been bombarded with requests for guidelines for sub contractor’s or job work
rates.
In an attempt to partially satisfy these requests, this manual include the following
suggested rates as a guide for several sub contractors or job work activities.
(These rates are labour only).
The rates are listed in a number of skilled trade disciplines for construction works
undertaken in Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Catherine.
They were compiled through collaboration with various members of the Masterbuilders Association, along with professional Quantity Surveyors and would only
be valid for the current JIC period (2021-2023).
Again, these rates are suggested as only a guide, as factors such as special condi-
tions and locations outside those stated will require adjustments.
