House on the Coast, Post #1
This is a custom house project in Orange County, overlooking the ocean. I was working on this house before I was laid off, but I hope to be able to maintain regular updates as the construction progresses.

How thick is that slab? If it is as thick as I think, is that because it's CA code?

ReplyDeleteThe slab of the house is thicker than normal (18")and is designed to act as a single unit, making it unnecessary to have isolated footings beneath bearing walls and isolated columns. This made it easier for the contractor to finish the foundation within the time limits of an accelerated construction schedule.
