A house is not only a major asset for a family but also a long-term residence. Therefore, before proceeding with townhouse construction and execution, the homeowner needs to clearly understand the basic principles of townhouse construction and the steps involved, from the rough construction phase to the finishing phase, in order to monitor the project’s progress.
Nowadays, townhouse construction projects are often fully outsourced to the contractor and supervised by the construction architect. However, to ensure the quality of the townhouse construction, the homeowner must still keep track of their project’s progress to ensure a sturdy house and prevent future damage.
The interior design consultation company 3A Design will help you understand the important stages of the townhouse construction and building process.
1. Construction Preparation Phase
The design drawing is the most important foundation for any project, not just townhouse construction. The more detailed and specific the designs are regarding the architecture, facade, and structure, the easier and faster the construction process can proceed. Therefore, as the homeowner, you must clearly state your requirements, purpose of use, and specific needs to the architect so that they align with you and your family. Only then can the architect grasp and express the design drawings in the most specific and detailed way for the construction team. This ensures the quality of your townhouse construction and minimizes errors during the process.
The second step in the preparation process is setting up the construction site. If the building location is a vacant lot, everything will be easier and can proceed sooner. If your land has an existing house or old structure that needs to be demolished, you must survey the terrain to plan the demolition of the old house, as well as submit the necessary documents to the Ward/District Construction Inspectorate Office to avoid future complications. When construction begins, protective barriers must be erected to ensure the safety of surrounding houses, and machinery/equipment must be gathered, scrap materials collected, septic tanks emptied (hút hầm cầu), and debris (xà bần) cleared.
In addition, the final step in the preparation stage involves organizing the staging area for construction materials, considering the space for material storage, and planning material supply in multiple batches to suit the available space. This also involves preparing temporary shelters to cover the construction area, necessary signage, and performing tasks such as relocating the existing electrical and plumbing connections of the old structure.
Construction stage of the rough part

Rough Construction Phase
The foundation of the house is the core for the quality of your project; therefore, the rough construction phase needs to be strictly supervised by the architect, the main contractor, and the homeowner themselves. This construction phase must strictly adhere to the regulations in the blueprint with the following steps:
Execute waterproofing for the eaves/gutters, restrooms (WC), and terrace. The waterproofing for the walls is carried out by mixing chemicals into the construction mortar.
Excavate the foundation, treat the base soil, and execute formwork, reinforcement, and concrete pouring from the top of the driven/bored piles upwards. For townhouse construction, the two common types of foundations used are strip foundations and pile foundations.
Next is the construction of underground structures such as septic tanks and manholes.
Execute formwork, reinforcement, and concrete pouring for the staircase slab, tie beams, plinth beams, beams, columns, and slabs for all floors, terraces, and the roof according to the design.
Execute the roof construction, followed by bricklaying and plastering to complete the enclosing walls, partition walls, technical shafts, foundation steps, and staircase steps.
Install the drainage system, and lay the conduit pipes, electrical wires, internet cables, TV cables, etc.

Finishing stage
After completing the rough part, the finishing part of the project is equally important, because it will determine the aesthetics of the house. And in this stage, the functional part for the homeowner also costs a lot of materials, so you also need to grasp and spend time following the progress, controlling the quality, avoiding errors.

Finishing Phase (Phần Hoàn thiện)
Interior Installation : Based on the interior design, with appropriate distribution, suitable furniture selection, harmonious colors, and proportional sizes. Typically, the furniture has already been fabricated, and the construction team’s job is installation.
Wall Plastering for the entire house: Close supervision is necessary during this stage, as the wall surfaces must be flat and solid to ensure both aesthetics and quality.
Floor Screeding/Leveling: This task also requires careful observation to ensure the floor surface is level.
Tiling: Tiling, while seemingly easy, is actually difficult, as it must ensure straight grout lines, tiles cut at corners fit perfectly without chipping (không bị mẻ), and that the overall aesthetic of the house is maintained.
Interior and Exterior Painting: You must pay attention to the quality of the paint, the color chosen, and the painters must be highly skilled, as the interior and exterior painting stage significantly affects the quality and aesthetics of the house.
Installation of Electrical, Plumbing, and Technical Systems: Sanitary equipment, electrical fixtures, and plumbing should be selected based on quality and suitability for the space, ensuring the quality of the house.
