The checklist below focuses only on the most important cement-related controls that affect strength, finish, and long-term performance, especially in structural concrete and the building foundation. Now use the following checklist as a tick-off sheet during site supervision: ☐ Check that cement is fresh. Use cement within 90 days where possible. If it is older, test it before use. This is a basic step in selecting quality cement for structural work. ☐ Check the bag condition. The bag should be sealed properly and free from moisture damage. Lumps in cement show moisture exposure.
