Bar Bending for Footing Done – Minor QA Issue Flagged by Audit Team, Steel in Order, All Columns Checked On-Site May-31-2025

Date: 31-MAY-2025

The bar bending work resumed this weekend with steady momentum, though we faced a minor shortage of 8mm steel—6 bundles. Fortunately, 8 bundles of 10mm steel arrived yesterday evening, allowing the work to proceed without major delays.


With all 10 pillars now in place, both Anil’s team and the Brick & Bolt team conducted a thorough inspection of the columns. These were cross-verified with the original layout markings made during the footing and column marking stages


Site validations were carried out with a focus on precision:

- Dhananjay (mastrie of mastri – head mason)

- Uday (site engineer from HomeSquadz)

- Prashant (site engineer from Brick & Bolt)

Each of them ensured alignment and accuracy using millimeter precision, validating every column before the bar bending team signed off on their scope.

First Project Visit by Project Manager Ibhrahim, the Project Manager, made his first site visit as part of the Customer Delight initiative. We had a productive discussion about progress, team coordination, and the steps ahead.


Quality Audit Update – Bar Bending & Site Checkpoints (31st May)

As part of the ongoing structural work, a detailed quality check was conducted on 31st May. The following four key checkpoints were reviewed by the b&b audit team:

Completed Checks:

1.Cover Blocks – Provided and fixed in a systematically correct manner.

2.Column Cage Plumb – Verified and passed.

3.Diameter & Spacing of Longitudinal Bars & Lateral Ties – Confirmed as per structural drawings.

⚠️ Check In Progress (Flagged by Central Audit Team from B&B)

4. Diameter of Main Bars (both directions) & Spacing – This point did not meet the audit expectations and is currently marked In Progress. The audit team flagged this due to mismatch in spacing or possible deviation from structural drawings.

The open snag is being tracked until it is fully resolved.

We appreciate the vigilance from the audit team – this is helping us ensure quality and structural integrity at every stage.


Next Update: Closure of the open snag and RMC Footing Pour Scheduled

Despite it being a Sunday(JUN 1st), the teams continued to show great commitment. At 2 PM, Anil notified the RMC supplier for the footing concrete pour, and Prashant will be present onsite to oversee the activity.

The energy and dedication on-site are truly commendable!

The Future of Home Design is Here - GenAI Elevation Visualization

Image
Imagine standing in front of your unfinished home, taking a picture — and instantly seeing what it could look like when complete. That’s no longer imagination it’s Way to Agentic  era. Using the AI Elevation Agent - Free tool , we can now generate realistic building elevations directly from a photo of the current structure. 👉 On the left, you see the actual photo of the existing building. 👉 On the right, the tool’s GenAI-generated elevation — a stunningly realistic visualization of what the final design could look like. What’s exciting is how accessible this technology has become. Just a year ago, producing such high-quality architectural visualizations required complex design tools and professional expertise. Today, with advancements in AI and agentic systems, end consumers and homeowners can visualize their dream facades instantly — no manual modeling, no waiting. This is just the beginning. With AI reshaping design, construction, and visualization, we’re stepping i...

Choosing the Right Sump Tank Size for My Home – A Thoughtful Decision

Image
As we begin building our dream home in BSK 6th Stage, 4th Block, one of the earliest and most important choices we made was about the sump tank size. It might seem like a small decision in the grand scheme of things, but water is such a basic necessity—it deserves thoughtful planning We are a family of 4 to 5 people, and I wanted to make sure we had enough water storage to last comfortably for at least 12–15 days, even during dry spells or BWSSB delays. After some thinking and observing how things work in Bangalore, I decided on a 8,000-litre sump. This is a practical size—tankers like Tata 709 and tractors that commonly deliver water in this area usually carry around 6,000–7,000 litres, so this capacity fits well. At our site location, the Kaveri water connection is in progress So, hopefully, the connection will be available soon. Until then, tanker water is our backup plan. Now, you might wonder—why not drill a borewell? Here's the thing: BSK 6th Stage was on...

All Set for External Plastering!

Image
The structure has come a long way — from foundation to framework, and now it’s time for the final touch on the exterior walls. All preparations are complete for the external plastering to begin. Surface leveling, curing, and waterproofing checks yet to carried out ensure a smooth and durable finish. This stage will not only enhance the appearance but also strengthen the building’s protection against weather elements. Excited to see the transformation as the structure gets its refined outer layer!
