Basement Walls

Concrete forms were delivered on time and the outer basement walls were set on Thursday & Friday.  Steel work for the walls was also started on Friday and completed on Monday August 19.  Steel inspection was approved to pour on Monday August 19.  Interior wall forms were set Monday & Tuesday, ready to pour Wednesday August 20 at 10:30 AM

Basement Slab

The slab was poured on Wednesday August 13, great weather no rain and no issues.

Footings and Slabs

Due to the geotechnical recommendations, we asked our structural engineer to design the monolithic slab and frost wall.  This now ready for the pour on Wednesday August 13, weather permitting.

Permits

Permits and signing of documents was extensive however thanks to the Regional District the approval process was not delayed.  We received the Building Permit on Wednesday July 30th.  During the previous weeks we did a lot of extra ground work to exceed the extensive geotechnical requirements.  Due to poor load bearing we dug a trench 8 ft wide, 16 ft deep and 90 ft long and repack with geo grid and 3" minus to provide proper support for the rear wall of the home.
