2.2. Construction:

  • For bamboo stilts: Dig holes and place the bamboo poles vertically, ensuring they are evenly spaced and sturdy.
  • For a concrete slab: Create a formwork using wood, pour the concrete, and let it set.

2.3. Drainage:

  • Ensure proper drainage around the foundation to prevent water accumulation.

Day 3: Frame Construction

3.1. Main Frame:

  • Construct the main frame using thick bamboo poles for the vertical columns and horizontal beams.

  • Attach the trusses to the main frame securely.

Day 4: Roof Installation

4.1. Roof Materials:

  • Use thatch, bamboo shingles, or corrugated metal sheets for the roof.

4.2. Installation:

  • Start from the bottom and work your way up, overlapping each layer to ensure water runoff.
  • Secure the roofing material to the trusses using nails or ropes.

Day 5: Wall Construction

5.1. Bamboo Walls:

  • Create the walls using split bamboo or bamboo mats, depending on the design.
  • Attach the bamboo to the frame using nails or lashings.

5.2. Windows & Ventilation:

  • Leave openings for windows and ensure proper ventilation.
  • Use bamboo frames for windows, and install them with shutters or bamboo screens.

Day 6: Flooring

6.1. Floor Material:

  • Use bamboo planks or tiles for the flooring.

  • Lay the bamboo planks across the foundation or floor joists.
  • Secure the planks using nails or screws, ensuring they are level and smooth.
