Ask for bar schedules, cut-and-bend lists and cover records before you award. This shows whether the crew can place foundation rebar correctly.
Engineering and MethodsBorama
Low concrete transport bids in Borama often omit mixer cycle time, standby, fuel and segregation controls, so the saving is paid back at placement.

Foundation rebar skills gaps in Gabiley can leave wrong cover, short laps and displaced bars; checking records and the cage before a pour catches them.
Engineering and MethodsBorama
Check flashing at every junction and fixing line on a Borama roof: what weak supervision misses, and how to inspect in the dry season after rain.

An opening in a slab interrupts the load path unless trimming bars are placed as drawn. Record the check against the approved drawing before the pour.
Concrete transport skills gaps in Burao let segregation start before placement. Here is how to detect it and close the gap.
