517 Courtyard House: Earthworks Under Way in Baungon, Bukidnon

Project Update: Earthworks & Foundation (Week of November 8, 2026)

Site work is moving on 517 Courtyard House, a 2-storey residential project in Baungon, Bukidnon. House construction here is now in the Earthworks & Foundation stage.

What’s happening on site

• Excavation: ongoing inside the perimeter fence.
• Plotting (layout): ongoing, so every line is set before we build.
• Procurement: we have started the initial order of rebars, formworks, scaffolding and other materials. Delivery is expected next week.

Two items we’re managing

The excavator’s pin was damaged by large rocks in the excavation area. The unit is under repair, so excavation is slower until it’s done.

We are also waiting on the finalized schedule and structural drawing. Cutting and forming for the footings will not start until we have them. Footings carry the whole house, so we build from final drawings, not assumptions.

Next steps

1. Continue excavation and plotting, and complete the excavator repair.
2. Receive the rebars, formworks, scaffolding and other materials next week.
3. Begin cutting and forming for the footings once the finalized schedule and structural drawing are released.

Every JMG project comes with a weekly progress report. Delays are named, causes are explained, and next steps are clear.
