Cement Brick Finishing
Can concrete footings be poured over 3 days.?
We are building a brick summer house/garden office in the garden. The builder started mixing and pouring the concrete this morning, then ran our of cement. He said would finish on Monday but, I thought foundations had to be laid in one go. Will by building be damaged by this?
Thanks for your help
It is a bad Idea to to pour a foundation in different stages unless tied together with rebar. Pouring in different stages causes cold joints and they are not as strong, even when tying them together with rebar. Contact your city inspector and make sure he is aware of the issue. If it is a small building the weaker cold joint may be fine.
