- Exterior perimeter insulation
- Utility conduit installation
The foundation is now ready for the concrete pour that will create the 24’ x 40’ garage slab.
Next Steps
Following the concrete pour:
- Concrete finishing and smoothing
- Curing period (typically 7-28 days for full strength)
- Form removal
- Backfilling around perimeter
- Beginning of vertical construction (walls and framing)
