Superstructure (Columns/Slabs): 6–8 months

Masonry & Plastering: 3–4 months

Finishes & Services: 4–5 months

External Works & Handover: 1–2 months

Total Project Duration: ~18–24 months (depends on site conditions and workforce efficiency)

Labour Required: ~50–100 skilled + unskilled workers per phase

✅ Tips for Efficiency

1. Use prefab / modular construction wherever possible for speed.

2. Source M-Sand and silver sand locally to reduce transport cost.

3. Bulk order cement and steel to avoid price fluctuations.

4. Plan staging of labour and material delivery to avoid idle time.

Goods Issue Note (GIN)
It is the document prepared when materials are issued from the site store to different departments, engineers, or

📑 Purpose of GIN

Acts as a record of material issued from store.

Helps track who received what material and for which work/structure it was used.

Ensures control of inventory and avoids misuse.

Serves as a basis for updating the Stock Ledger (stock decreases when GIN is issued).

📋 Typical Fields in a GIN

1. GIN No. & Date (unique document no.)

2. Project Name & Site Location

3. Department / Section (where material will be used)

4. Material Description

5. Category (Cement, Steel, Electrical, etc.)

6. Unit (Nos, Bags, Kg, etc.)

7. Quantity Requested

8. Quantity Issued

9. Balance in Stock (optional)

10. Purpose / Work Order Ref.

11. Signature of Storekeeper, Receiver, Site Engineer

🔄 Flow

1. Engineer / Supervisor raises a Material Requisition (MR).

2. Storekeeper checks stock.

3. If available → Storekeeper prepares GIN and issues material.

4. Receiver signs GIN copy as acknowledgement.

5. Entry goes into Stock Ledger (stock decreases).

👉 GIN is basically the opposite of MRN (Material Receipt Note):

MRN = Materials coming into store.

GIN = Materials going out of store.
