Check All Materials

Professional Daily Diary - November 1, 2024

Today, I wasn't feeling well, so I took some rest. However, I received a call from the site owner. The owner said that the contractor was not using 43 grade cement as agreed. They had decided to use 43 grade Ultratech cement, but something went wrong.

Previously, I had checked the steel and bricks to ensure they were of good quality and the right grade. However, I had not checked the cement since the owner and contractor had already agreed on using 43 grade cement.

Professional Tips

• Check All Materials: Always verify all construction materials, including cement, steel, and bricks, even if they have been agreed upon by the owner and contractor. This ensures they match the required grades and standards.
• Regular Quality Checks: Conduct regular inspections of the materials being used on site to ensure they continue to meet the specifications.
• Communicate Clearly: Keep open communication with everyone involved, including the owner and contractor, to make sure everyone knows and agrees on the material standards.
• Keep Records: Maintain detailed records of all material checks and specifications. This can help resolve any issues that come up.
• Take Care of Your Health: Make your health a priority. If you're not feeling well, delegate tasks or inform clients about possible delays. This helps manage expectations and keeps the project on track.
