[quote=Anonymous] [/quote] In fairfax county they had to inspect the foundation and the builder had to wait until it cured. So it's not like the builder could just throw up houses whenever he wanted.[/quote] The recommended code is 28 days before building on a concrete foundation. They were not waiting 28 days before building during the boom. The foundations were poured, frames removed, and they were building on them within days. [/quote] This is another silly post. 28 days is full compressive strength. There is no reason to wait for that. The house won't be fully loaded until the roof is on, sheathing is on and all of the drywall is in place. That will be a couple of months. 24 hours will give you about 2/3 of the strength and doesn't put anything at risk - very standard practice and it is not cutting corners. Waiting 2-3 days is conservative. stop trying to scare people if you don't know what the hell you are talking about. [/quote]
