Vastu saastra for all buildings whether it is a home, factory, temple or even an office. Office is mainly built to generate financial growth of business. Vastu suggests some rules in building offices that prove to be very functional for economic growth of the organization.
Vastu principles are applied keeping in mind various energy fields originating from different directions. First of all a site should be selected, which is free from any Vastu defect. After selection of the site, the layout of office should be planned by following these Vastu norms.
Construction of Office
The plot of office should be rectangular or square. Heavy structure should be built in the South and the West as these are negative zones. More open space should be in the East or north direction. The slope of floor should be towards East, North or Northeast. The height of building should be equal in all sides. Water bodies should be built in northeast or eastern zone. Water sump is good in the North or East. But overhead tank in northeast is a big Vastu defect. So, the tank should be built in southwest direction. Staircase should be built in southern or western part of the office. Staircase in the center of office is not good. Toilets can be built in the west or northwest. Northeast and southwest directions should not be used for toilet. Office should not be built near temple, grave yard or hospital.
Interior of Office
Design reception in northeast of office and receptionist should sit facing the North or East.
Waiting room can be in northeast or northwest direction of the building. But northeast corner should be left for temple and flowers can be placed in northeast direction. The office of Chairman or General Manager should be built in southwest or south direction of the building. He should sit in southwest direction facing north. His desk should be rectangular. Employees should sit facing the North or East. Employees should not sit under beam. If any other alternative is not possible, the loft of beam can be covered with wooden board.Place heavy almirah or safe in the southwest in which important documents are stored. Pantry of office should be built in southeast of the building as southeast direction is a place for fire. The center of office should not have any heavy structure. Paint office in light colors. Avoid dark colors as they make us short tempered. Doors and windows of office should be in the north and east direction. Don’t use paintings depicting sadness in the office.
Fix the window frames with outer surface of the wall to collect the dust at the sill of the window. Dust can be avoided by fixing the window frames at the inner surface of the wall.
Fix paneled door shutters with “Chokhats” to gather the dust on the top of the projected beading of the door shutter.
Fix flush door shutters with the door frames; as there is not any type of projection on the flush door shutters, to avoid collection of dust.
Raise the floor-level of the cupboard up to the level of the cupboard frame to avoid the dust gathered inside the cupboard. Now it is very easy to clean the floor of the cupboard.
Construct skirting or dado with the wall to obtain cleaner surface and safeguard of the wall from dampness for architectural view.
Avoid the dust gathered on the projected portion of the dado/ skirting by making the slope on the top of the dado/skirting as the thickness of dado/ skirting is more than the thickness of plaster on the wall.
Provide face work on the walls of the veranda for architectural view in some constructions. Plaster the walls to avoid the dust gathered on the joints of the wall
A prefabricated structure, is a structure which has components manufactured in an off-site industrial facility. They are sometimes referred to as factory-made or modular structures, although there are some notable differences. In a prefab structure, components are made in house and transported in a flat-pack form lowering logistical costs, whereas modular homes have entire sections of the given structure built off site. By opting for Prefab; human error, waste, time, energy & costs are significantly reduced allowing for efficient construction.
After Great earth quake in Nepal in 2015 most of the constructions ,like, home ,shelter,factort,&many outlets are are constructed by prefab system
Ready-mix concrete is concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a work site by truck mounted in–transit mixers. This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. The first ready-mix factory was built in the 1930s, but the industry did not begin to expand significantly until the 1960s, and it has continued to grow since then.Ready-mix concrete is often preferred over on-site concrete mixing because of the precision of the mixture and reduced work site confusion.
Ready-mix concrete, or RMC as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer’s construction site in a freshly mixed and plastic or unhardened state. Concrete itself is a mixture of Portland cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone. Ready-mix concrete is bought and sold by volume – usually expressed in cubic meters (cubic yards in the US).
घर बनाउँदा विभिन्न पक्षमा ध्यान दिनुपर्छ । एकपटक बनाइसकेको संरचना फेरि भत्काउनुपर्यो भने श्रम, समय र पैसा सबैको व्यर्थ हुन्छ । यस्तो समस्या आउन नदिन घर बनाउने क्रममा अपनाउनुपर्ने सचेतना र सावधानीप्रति जानकार रहनुपर्छ । कुनै पनि घर टिकाउ हुन त्यसको आन्तरिक बनोट मजबूत एवम् विधिसम्मत तरीकाले निर्माण गरिएको हुनुपर्छ ।
बीम
तीन तला र १ हजार वर्गफीट प्लिन्थ क्षेत्रफलसम्मको घरमा दुई पिलरबीचको लामो दूरी १४ फीट ९ इञ्च र छोटो दूरी १० फीटभन्दा बढी नभएको अवस्थामा निम्नानुसार डण्डी राख्न सकिन्छ :
बीममा तलमाथि कम्तीमा १६ मिलिमिटर (५ लाइन)को दुई/दुईओटा डण्डी राख्नुपर्छ ।
बीमको लम्बाइअनुसार तलमाथि राखिएका डण्डीबाहेक थप डण्डी पनि राख्नुपर्छ । यस्ता डण्डीमा थप गर्दा बीमको लम्बाइको १/३ भाग लामो हुनुपर्छ । उक्त लम्बाइ पिलरको भित्री छेउबाट मात्र नापिनुपर्छ । बीमको तल थप गरिने डण्डी लम्बाइको बीच भागमा राख्नुपर्छ । त्यस्ता डण्डी दुवैपट्टिबाट बीमको लम्बाइको १/६ भागसम्म जानुपर्छ ।
