2月6日 Completing GroundworkAfter establishing your building site's layout, meeting all permit requirements and accomplishing excavation, you'll start to get some real traction on your project and this is where the rubber hits the road. The moment of truth. If your elevations are incorrect, this is when a problem becomes apparent. If all's well, you are over-joyed.
Creating a balance, a sense of proportion, is vital for site layout. Once your foundation footers and walls are placed, you reach that moment of truth. Like my friend, Bill Wheeler, explained to me this morning, "The sun needs to shine on all four sides of the house." What Bill means is that the landscaping needs to look good, feel good and perform well on all four sides of the house!
What you're trying to achieve is a home layout that fits the topography of your building site. In general, we call this THE GROUNDWORK.
During the foundation phase, there are usually two inspections: footers and walls. Your field inspector from the local building department needs to sign-off on your inspection permit.
I depend on my Foundation Contractor to maintain code compliance. He calls for inspections. This contractor sets the foundation forms, places the steel rebar, schedules the pump truck and concrete delivery, and then makes the pour. WHAT HE DOES NOT DO...IS ESTABLISH LAYOUT TO FIT TOPOGRAPHY. This is established before he arrives on site.
You should know that it's always nice when a plan comes together.
