Hi all,
Two days ago reinforced concrete beams was done and when I checked them – turned out there are cracks. Company which builds it says it’s normal but I’m concerned since these are suppose to support roof construction and I’m not sure if they are not too deep. Should I be worried?

This looks like shrinkage crack which would be normal, but cracks in general are very tricky and what I think may be shrinkage may turn out to be structural.
Have your structural engineer check them out.
