Civil Engineer Mohammad Saqib, founder of AAA Constructions, has been involved in residential, commercial and civil construction projects across Uttarakhand’s Kumaon region, where challenging terrain often requires careful planning and specialised construction practices.
Building construction in the hill areas of Uttarakhand involves several factors that are different from conventional construction on level ground. Steep slopes, varying soil conditions, limited working space, difficult site access and changing weather conditions can influence the execution of a project from its initial stage.
According to Saqib, proper planning before starting construction is essential, particularly when working on sloping sites. Foundation conditions, drainage, slope stability, material transportation and the availability of working space need to be considered according to the requirements of each site.
