This is a picture of ground beam work in progress (taken a month ago). Sub-structure work had now been completed, and the contractor is moving ahead with super-structure work. A catch-up program will be needed, given the delays in the last 2 months due to incessant rain. I understand that once the second floor slab is erected, work will be expedited.
No alarm has been sounded yet, so I am still optimistic about the original schedule. So far so good with the project management of JY International. It is still early days but their conduct has so far been professional, and this gives us the much needed confidence to stay away from micro-managing the project. While it is completely understandable why many home-owners tend to do that, it can be extremely draining on your every day life. We are (or at least I am) trying hard to avoid this behaviour.
This picture was taken last week by our architect, showing the preparation of formwork and scaffolding for the construction of the second floor slab. The house looks smaller from this angle, with all the steel scaffoldings and planks. I just hope that this is the case, or we will be rather disappointed. There is always the risk that the final product can be very different from the plans on the drawing board. A risk we have to take.
