So what did I do on the second week. Basically, still monitoring the work of bricklaying in the lockup area. However, the subcon tends to do some mistakes on the dimension. Things have gone harder when the first floor beam alignment above the lock up area run off here and there. Well, thats the work from the previous subcon and before i came here + the lack of supervision from the previous supervisor perhaps. So, all i see is headache and constant monitoring needed to prevent such error again. Work are progressing well.
One main problem that always worried me much is the material status. Cement tends to come late. Since plastering works had started on this week, daily consumption of 50 bags of cement is normal. 10 tonnes of cement arrive on tuesday. Fail to arrange it to discard at a site nearer to lock up area since roadwork has started around the balai.
Since bricklaying payment claims is based on daily progress, therefore i have to prepare a daily basis of visual progress to my superior. One of my daily routine job nowadays. Heard some news on the new structural sub con for balai, but still fail to meet them in the 2nd week. All of the revised drawing had been prepared and passed to them through an ex colleague.
What more in balai? Drawings. I revised drawing everyday, both archi and structural drawings, and found that some of the information are not given or do not match. Solution? Have to prepare and submit RFI (request for information) to either Arkiskape (archi consultant) or Ranhill (C&S Consultant). Meaning? Delay of progress since we have to wait for their reply.
Clerk of Work from archi firm often travel down to balai to check on the progress. Pointing out several defects and components that needed extra attention. but all in all, everything still go QUITE smoothly. An bigger problem is the previous subcon pointed out the RC gutter on the lower roof level for the left and right wing are lower than the design by 400 to 450 mm. Cause quite a havoc for one or two days. Questions in my mind?
1) How can they not spot that for 3 months of time?
2) How they are going to solve it?
Deconstruct and recast the gutter will put additional delay to the progress. The cause in my opinion might be due to the constant revision of drawings and sub con misinterpret the drawing detail. The archi CoW discussed with respective company and RE of the site, come out with a conclusion to proceed on with the work. This is due to the clear distance from the soffit of the beam to the slab are enough for the installment of windows and ceiling board. So here comes another problem, what about the center area of the balai? Well that i will have to wait for further instruction when the time came. Visualization of the condition may be hard without pictures. Will try to post pictures when i get the chance to do it.
Other than that, i make a trip to visit the other side of the site, the kelas D E and F. Progress is seemingly good there. Most of the archi works are going on. Roof truss are installed daily. A note on the roof truss. The drawing are a headache for me. Bluescope Lysaught's drawings are hard to understand. However my colleague said once you get the hang of it, you will realize the drawing is simplified efficiently. Well, still in the process for me and i haven't get the steel roof truss drawings from my superiors.
Last work for this week? Leveling. We did leveling on thursday and saturday for the construction of road subbase. The location is along the road to stor barang kes and also the roadway to kelas F and checked the level of existing drainage and apron of the buildings. Friday? A huge pour from the sky causing all works at site comes to a halt. Mostly, only those not effected by the rain can proceed with works such as tiling and stuff. Me on the other hand stay in office and continue to grab knowledge from others, including some paperwork stuff. That's all i guess. Moving into the 3rd Week!
