Common pitfalls and tips:
Not putting in grade line.
Slab 6 inch above finish grade.
fire walls to not extend all the way up to the underside of the roof decking.Â
allow for 8in for light, then mechanical space, then structure/joist.Â
Put top of exterior wall footings below frostline.
Isn’t the middle bearing wall footing supposed to be right below the slab and not taken down to the 5′ frost line?
Yes, You are correct. The interior footing should be flush with the slab.
you show the slab drawn above the grade line……is this correct? or should it be directly below line??
the slab is drawn above grade……is this correct? or should it be level with grade?
slab ON grade.
