Hopefully by tomorrow we will commence the setting out of the building.

Currently, we are evacuating the rubbles to the extreme of the site to make way for setting out.

Exactly.
Thanks for following up boss.

25 tons of granite, a trip of sand, 50 bags of cement arrived at this site today.
We are adopting a just in time approach due to the site being congested with rubbles and remnants of the demolished building. Once we start backfilling we would have enough space to store materials on site.
