In EnglishLintel, in the dictionary; here, the RCC roof slab cast in one pour
A lenter goes up the same way every time: sariya tied into a cage on the shuttering, then cement poured over it in one continuous dhalai, the type on the bag read against the drawing before the mixer starts, OPC, PPC, Portland slag or composite. Once the pour is on, the cage cannot be reached again, so the diameter and the cement type are both fixed before that day and not after.
The word travels through the whole build. A thekedar quoting a house counts the niv, the walls and the lenter as three separate stages, and each one draws a different mix of sariya, cement and cover blocks off the same rack.
The stage a family calls out by name
Agle hafte lenter padega, sariya aur cement dono book kar dijiye.
The slab goes up next week, so book both the TMT bar and the cement now. What still has to be said is the diameter, the cement type on the bag, and the day the mixer arrives.
Two pages behind one dhalai
