A new build needs concrete poured in the right order. Here is how to plan footings, slabs, drives and walks around the other trades.
A new build has a long list of concrete: footings, foundation walls, the garage and basement slabs, then the driveway, walks, porches and patio. Each piece has its own timing. Footings come first, flatwork comes last, and a missed window means working around finished landscaping or heavy equipment. The lot also starts with disturbed soil, fill and grading that must be compacted before any slab goes down.
Good planning starts with the plans and the schedule. We confirm elevations, locate utilities and sleeves, check drainage and agree on pour dates with the builder. Forms are checked before the truck arrives, and curing is protected so new slabs gain strength evenly. For owners building custom homes, we explain each pour in plain language so you know what is happening and why.
