| Material | Quantity | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PPC Cement | 8 bags | Present | Bags intact, under waterproof cover |
| River Sand | ~3 tonnes | Present | Near northern boundary |
| Quarry Stone | ~2 tonnes | Present | Adequate for current phase |
| Roof Trusses | 0 | Not Yet | Expected for next phase |
Overall Workmanship
Mortar joints are consistent and evenly spaced. Brickwork appears plumb and straight. Ring beam is continuous with visible rebar. General impression: quality work by an experienced team.
Progress vs. Expectation
Ring beam phase is complete as claimed by the builder. This is consistent with what you would expect after 6 weeks of active work from DPC stage.
Next Phase Advisory
Before roofing can begin, roof trusses need to be delivered and the ring beam must cure for at least 7 days (poured June 14). Builder should not load trusses before June 21 at earliest.
This assessment reflects observable conditions only. It is not an engineering inspection or structural certification.
- ✅ Ring beam phase confirmed — safe to release next payment tranche
- 📅 Next recommended visit: After roof truss installation (est. 2-3 weeks)
- ⚠️ Check with builder: When are trusses arriving? Don't let them load before June 21.
