Superstructure
Superstructure refers to all the construction works which occur after the completion of the foundations and sub-structure works to damp proof course level. This stage includes the construction of the walls, installation of the external doors and windows.

This is the term which refers to the stage where non load bearing walls (and staircases where applicable) are installed in the property. This stage also includes the installations of plumbing and heating as well as the wiring of the electrics.
Second Fix

All ceramic tiling to floors and walls is also completed at this stage.
