Overview
Watch this video on getting the preliminary foundations and base ready - concrete footing and slab, and frame.
The video shows builders how to communicate with clients at this stage in the build. Communicate upfront to ensure clients understand what they are getting, and it is what they want. Miscommunication can potentially cost a lot!
