Super well-done. Congratulations and thank you for taking the time to film it so thoroughly! 🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does the inspector need to be there when your plumbing the concrete
Also do they need the receipt from the concrete truck to see the yards
Which concrete company did you use in San Diego? I'm having a hard time finding one that will show up
I do all my own concrete. If you have a framing or plumbing crew lined up ask them for who they have worked with. Try craigslist but check for a license. Also, just drive around looking for concrete trucks and try talking to the workers. You want to get a good concrete guy to make sure your bolts and holddowns are in the right spot. You may need special inspections on the steel and hold downs, so make sure that’s done before pouring. Also, UFER GROUNd has to go in the footing
Does the rebar have to be 20ft or the #4?
Your foundation plan should tell you the size. Usually #4 or #5 for the footings. The slab grid can be #3 or #4. But you have to consult your structural engineer.
If you are designing it yourself, you can follow the spec in the city of San Diego Bulletin 140.
Rebar doesn’t have to be 20’ but you have to overlap splice them according to their size.
Can you share who do your foundation cement pouring? How much the total cost for 760 sqft. foundation slab.
I can tell you I spent right around 10K. But I did everything myself except I hired some concrete finishers to help me the day of the pour. Much depends on your lot, size of footings, amount of steel, etc.
If you did all that yourself, I’ll probably hire you …. What’s an email I can contact you on? ;)
@Jesus Rojas sorry Jesus. I missed your comment. If you need a foundation, let me know. I am a general contractor as well as a licensed concrete contractor. Email is jstoner@thisnewADU.com or 619-750-0238
