Choose the correct answer
Foundation → scaffolding → brick laying → curing → plastering
Foundation → brick laying → scaffolding → plastering → curing
Scaffolding → foundation → brick laying → curing → plastering
Foundation → brick laying → curing → scaffolding → plastering
Correct Answer
A. Foundation → scaffolding → brick laying → curing → plastering
Why is this the answer?
Foundation is excavated and laid first. Scaffolding is erected at ground level before masonry begins and raised as height increases. Brick laying proceeds course by course. Curing of mortar joints must begin soon after laying and continue for 7 days. Plastering after masonry has set sufficiently (7–14 days minimum).
