Easement Rights 

An easement is a right which the owner/occupier of a certain land possesses, as such, for the beneficial enjoyment of that land, to do and \

continue to do something, or to prevent and continue to prevent -something being done, in or upon, or in respect of, certain other land not

 his own. 

Eccentric Load 

The offset loading of the column is referred to as eccentric loading. It will be towards the right or left corner of the column, some way from the centre.

Estimation 

Estimation is the process of figuring out how much a structure, building, or project is likely to cost before it is built. Estimation involves computing the approximate cost of the project using drawings, various information, data and unit rates. 

Flat Slab

A flat slab is a two-way reinforced concrete slab that usually does not have beams and girders, and the loads are transferred directly to the supporting concrete columns. The flat plate is a two-way reinforced concrete framing system utilizing a slab of uniform thickness, the simplest of structural shapes. The flat slab is a two-way reinforced structural system that includes either drop panels or column capitals at columns to resist heavier loads and thus permit longer spans.

Flat Terrace

Floor Space Index/ FSI 

FSI (Floor Space Index)/ FAR (Floor Area Ratio) is the maximum permissible floor area which can be constructed on a given plot of land.

FSI = Total Floor Area of all Floors of the Building/Plot area x 100

Form Vibrator 

Form Vibrators are also known as external or shutter vibrators. They are connected to the formwork and vibrations are induced in the formwork which inturn vibrate the inner concrete.

Girder 

Girders are large horizontal beams that act as the primary support for a building, to which all other smaller beams are connected, forming the structure's “skeleton.” 

Good for Construction Drawings/ GFC 

This is a validation given by the relevant internal/consulting authority that a given document/ drawing is reviewed and approved to proceed for the construction.

Green Field Project

A greenfield project is one that lacks constraints imposed by prior work, where there is no need to work within the constraints of existing buildings or infrastructure 

Hacking/Tacha

‘Hacking’ is the process of making the surface rough before plastering for better bonding of mortar with R.C.C. structure. 

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning/ HVAC 

HVAC stands for ‘Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning’ and is one the considerations for MEP systems of the building. It aims to provide comfortable, safe indoor air quality in a building. 

High Tension Cables 

These cables carry current from the power plant to the step-down transformer. A high tension wire has a low resistance and large surface area. Instead of making a single thick wire of low resistance, it is made by twisting together a number of thin wires insulated from each other so as to provide a large surface area so that it can radiate heat more easily.

Holdfast

A holdfast is a temporary clamp used to place a door/ window frame in place and anchor it to the side wall. 

Honeycomb

Honeycomb is a rough and stony surface that appears on concrete when there are air voids between the course and the aggregate.
