Determination of Direction The
directions of the plot should be dermined with the help of
compass, and all the corners of the plot should be 90 degree
aligned and boundry wall should always be constructed only after
the proper alignment of the corners.
Cleaning of Land The
plot should be cleaned before any furnither work is done on the
land. Any type of pits, stones, throny bushes etc must be removeed
while cleaning the land. If there is a gun arabic tree(babool) in
theland, it should be uprooted first. Levelling of Land South-West
of the plot should be gently raised in comparison to the
north-east side of the plot. If the land contains any well or
other depressions, they should be filled up and leveled. Well
in East, North or North-East A well or temporary sump
should be dug in the east, north or north east and only water from
this sump/well should be used for cunstruction and water from any
other souurce must not be used for construction.
Raw Material
Raw material to be used for construction like
cement, bricks etc. should be kept in the south, west or
south-west of the plot, and never in the north east.
Construction The construction of
the house must be started within 90 days from the day of
coomplition of the boundry wall. Bhumi Pujan
Its is extremely necessary to worship the land
before starting the construction. The prayer should be done in the
north-corner of the plot by a learned Pandit.The first digging
must be done by the owner or the architect on a aspitious time as
set by a learned astrologer. The aspisius munths for starting work
are:
March - April
April - May
July - August
October - November
January - February
And the best days for starting the work are:
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Excavation
Excavation for the main house or any other
portion including the boundry wall should only started from the
north-east direction of the house, and it should progress from
north to west ot east to south. An when these excavations are to
be filled i.e while laying foundation, while starting the
construction, they must be filled from south to east and from west
to north.
Temporay Shed
A temporary shed, if needed to be constructed,
for a watchman or for storage purposes, should be counstructed in
the south-west of the plot. And the door of the shed should be in
the north-east. The construction of this shed in accordance with
Vastu prevents thefts and helps in smooth flow of the constructon
work. After the completion of the work/construction of the builing
this shed must be demolished; and should not be used for further
storage/living etc.
