Concrete for house foundation work

To be verified whilst concreting work is underway
 

Check that the concrete ordered is that delivered to the construction site. To do this, ask for the delivery receipt from the driver and check the concrete specifications.

Check that the concrete has not been too diluted with water. The more water there is, the weaker the concrete will be.

Practical tips

Do not forget to have calcium added to the concrete mix during the winter months.

For large-scale work, it would be preferable to hire an independent laboratory to test the quality of the concrete delivered to the construction site.
