Precast concrete blocks near me4/11/2024 The offsets where we build are down to inches.we really have to pay attention to footer layouts. It appeared that the SW company was doing the install, I didn't see any of the GC's guys there, just SW trucks. I did a little research, not much:laughing:, and read that the walls sit on a crushed stone footing.:blink: The next day I drive by and I see the crane hoisting these things off a flatbed, and I said, "WTF is that?", and the foundation was almost finished. I was picking up material from a jobsite near our competitors new build this week.a 'stone slinger' was there doing some backfill.I figured the footer was in. When the top clamps are not installed correctly the top of the foundation wall will sag in that area creating a bad framing headache, not to mention the walls were out parallel by 1 ½” Last year I my company was hired to remove a poorly constructed poured foundation & install a new superior wall foundation due top clamps blowing out. Superior walls also are pre-insulated and have pre-drilled holes for wiring they also have metal studs on the inside face making them sheetrock ready! I can have excavation & superior walls set in 4 days. I have an excellent mason who does block foundations I have no complaints with his work other then time. I have yet to see a poured foundation wall come out correct. On average its about 20% more to use superior walls verse traditional block. It takes some extra work on framing aspect and some extra coordination with back filling & basement pour. I have been building on superior walls for about 10 years now.
