Foundation Walls Sample Clauses
The Foundation Walls clause defines the requirements and standards for constructing the foundational walls of a building. It typically specifies the materials to be used, such as concrete or masonry, and outlines the necessary dimensions, reinforcement, and waterproofing measures to ensure structural integrity. By setting clear expectations for the construction and quality of foundation walls, this clause helps prevent structural failures and disputes over workmanship, ensuring the building's stability and longevity.
Foundation Walls. Three days.
Foundation Walls. All foundation walls shall be poured concrete with reinforcing steel as shown on the construction drawings. Insulation around the interior perimeter of the foundation walls shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of the BOCA Building Code for allowable “U” factors and overall thermal performance. This insulation shall consist of 2” expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid insulation board installed continuously around the perimeter of the building.

Foundation Walls. Shrinkage or backfill cracks are not unusual in basement or foundation walls, especially at corners of basement windows. The Builder will repair, as needed, cracks which are in excess of 1/8” or any cracks which are shown to permit water to enter the basement, provided the Homeowner has complied with landscaping requirements and has not changed the grades established by the Builder. Slight “honeycombing,” cold joints, or imperfections in the foundations walls caused by variations or minor flaws in concrete forms will not be repaired. Slight dampness may be experienced in a crawl space. However, correctly installed landscaping will prevent excessive amounts of water from entering crawl spaces. Standing water should be reported to the Builder immediately upon discovery.
Foundation Walls. Reinforced concrete with a 2” rigid polystyrene insulation, minimum of 2 pound density.
Foundation Walls. Shrinkage or backfill cracks are not unusual in basement or foundation walls, especially at the corners of basement windows. C&C Construction will repair, as needed, cracks which are in excess of 1/8" or any cracks which are permitting water to enter the basement, provided the homeowner has complied with proper drainage maintenance techniques (obstruction free drainage tile, maintaining flow of water from a house, etc.) Slight "honeycombing" cold joints or imperfections in the foundation walls caused by variations or minor flaws in concrete forms will not be repaired.
