If I were you, I would try to cover the hole at the top with a sheet of plastic and secure it with bricks (or nails), since you already have bricks available.
You might consider designing the cover so that it looks like a gable roof (install a beam in the middle). This way, no water will pool in the center.
3 cm (1.2 inches) is not critical, but this will help prevent it from increasing! Who knows what the weather will be like for you until January 7th.
Do you have a basement entrance?

We had a very similar issue. According to the building expert, it’s not a problem as long as the water is pumped out and the basement is thoroughly dried once the shell construction is complete (using a dehumidifier). We had to dry out our basement several times (a wet vacuum cleaner was absolutely necessary) and then decided to cover the basement with construction foil. The covering worked very well, and even during heavy rain, we no longer had water in the basement.
schubert796 Jan 2014 12:45I don’t want any water in the basement and then temperatures below freezing... The idea of using a construction dryer is, of course, good and makes sense, but it also costs quite a bit of money (especially electricity costs; just try calculating the heating power yourself). So it’s all solvable, it just costs...
