A slab poured 70mm off spec — caught before the next payment, not after handover

A family building eight villas on their 4.2-acre holding engaged Bhumi to manage development through our partner contractor network. Independent stage-gate inspection at the second-floor slab measured reinforcement spacing at 220mm against a specified 150mm — a structural shortfall invisible once the slab was finished and covered. The contractor corrected it before the next payment milestone released.

The mandate, stage by stage

What actually happened.

  1. Partner selection

    Contractor selected from Bhumi's vetted development partner network against the project's scale and budget; contract tied to a 9-stage payment schedule.

  2. Stage gate 1

    Foundation inspected and passed against the approved structural drawings before the first payment released.

  3. Stage gate 2

    Independent inspector measured reinforcement spacing on the second-floor slab at 220mm centre-to-centre against a specified 150mm, and held the stage.

  4. Correction

    Contractor required to break and re-lay the non-conforming section before the next payment milestone was released — at the pre-pour-completion cost, not the post-handover one.

  5. Handover

    Remaining seven stage gates cleared on schedule; the project handed over on the original timeline with the full inspection record.
