Foundations & slabs

Level, square and on the drawings

From
How long
A week from layout to pour for most garages

A foundation is the one pour that can’t be wrong. We set it out from the drawings, string and check the corners for square twice, and dig the grade beams to the depth the engineer asks for.

The vapor barrier goes down, the steel goes in on chairs exactly as drawn, the plumber’s sleeves and the anchor bolts are set, and the inspector walks it before a truck is booked. Then we pour it in one go and keep it wet for a week.

Questions

Do you work from an engineer's drawing?

Always, for anything under a roof. If you don't have one, we know two in Cedar Bend who do.

Who books the inspection?

We do. The pour waits until the inspector has signed the form.
