Re: How fast can one start on framing?

Darius, > We have been told that they need to wait 4-5 weeks for the > foundation to settle in before starting on the framing. Building codes usually say the concrete is supposed to cure 7 full days before the forms are stripped. This allows the concrete to achieve adequate strength to start building on. Once the forms are off, you can start building right away. It will continue to gain strength over time, reaching the majority of it's strength in 28 days or so. Having said that, most of the houses I see being built around here pour the foundation one day, strip the forms the next, and start framing a day or two after that. It seems like a code violation to me, but I see it all the time. When we built our house, we waited the full 7 days before we pulled the forms. We then spent a few days cleaning up around the foundation vents, smoothing out ridges and bumps, and installing the drainage system around |
