  1. Yes post tensioning has been done and the frame is in place. The thing that really concerned me was the thin layer of concrete underneath the devision line (only appearing in some of the photos) that makes me think the slab has sheared an inch or so. I'm not seeing anything like an inch of movement in any of those photos. Which one shows shearing of an inch? I unfortunately have very little experience with foundations other than covering them with stone (did stone masonry for four years). The below picture was most worrying to me because of the thin outer layer that appears to be connected to both pour sites but angled and broken off. https://www.inspectorsjournal.com/forum ... hoto_2.jpg Thank you for your response. I apologize for my lack of experience and knowledge on this.
  2. Hmmm as far as I am aware the forms were not removed. I don't see why they would have done so when pouring in the same spot back to back. That does make sense though.
  3. I guess they have not completed the final tensioning then. I assumed that they had to before the framing could begin. The pt cables are still exposed and stick out from the foundation about 2 feet. Should I be concerned that they began framing 4 days after pouring? Thank you for your response and insight.

  5. I don't have a presice time frame. I was out of town, but was told they were going to pour on Friday. The following Tuesday they had begun framing.
  6. I am building a new house and while at the site today I noticed what looked like a long large shift of the foundation. I have included some photos. If anyone could please look at them and tell me if this looks normal that would be great. If not, who could i get a second local opinion from? This is a post tension slab construction. If you need any more information I would me happy to try and find this out for you. Thank you in advance for your time.
