Hello.
Our shell construction is now complete, and the roof is in place.
During the final phase of the shell construction, it rained repeatedly, and several rooms have or had 1-2cm (0.4-0.8 inches) of standing water.
Some of the walls (Poroton masonry) are also damp. Perhaps water has entered the cavities of the bricks.
Will all this dry out on its own? Interior plastering is planned in about 3 weeks, and the screed in about 6 weeks.
I have also taken some photos.

Now the roof has been on for about 3 weeks and is watertight, and the windows are installed. The front door is not in yet, but our basement is dry.
Our construction manager and the masons (both around 60 years old with a lot of experience) said that it is completely normal for the basement to be damp during the shell construction and that everything dries out on its own.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
