An integrated approach to construction. How to get high-quality foundation?

The more I study the information about the different stages of construction, so more and more, there are situations when, on the same question, people have expressed totally opposite theory and prove their right.

Another example of what I saw in the comments to my article:

Concrete. Samomes or plant. I experienced the difference.

Accordingly, the separation occurred into two groups of people:

• Those who are for the ready-mixed concrete from the factory.
• And those who believe that concrete made with their own hands - the better.

I would like to express their position.

In my opinion, it is impossible to approach the issue of the quality of the foundation, based only on the quality of the concrete poured.

Foundation - it's not concrete!

The foundation consists of several components, which are add up to the final result:

1. Pillow foundation.

2. Drainage system.

3. Reinforcing cage.

4. And then concrete.

No matter what method will be made concrete in the factory or manually. In this and in another case there is risk of a defective product

. And the fact that all the proof you need to do just so and not otherwise, I think it is wrong.

It is clear that people prove their point of view, based on their experience. But you can not try it at all.

What I ordered concrete from the factory - this was my particular situation. And I'm not sure anyone else to do so.

I knew perfectly wellThat there is a possibility that I will bring a low-quality concrete ( of course within limits), Because the factory employs people who are careless about his work. Similarly, someone else It may interfere with the concrete for the foundation with his own hands, and at the same time to buy a bad cement in the store.

therefore of concrete brand is advisable to order or make with a margin,

And additionally will insure other components included in the scope of works for the production of foundation.

Quality pillow under the foundation evenly distribute the load, drainage will not leach pad, and destroy the very foundation, and reliable reinforcement cage will stretch the foundation itself.

And when some argueThat the concrete must be just like a stone, to maul him bounced, Then this is possible and fill in the swamp, and he will not do anything (of course I'm exaggerating).

But the chance that you will be as good concrete is not great. And no matter how it is done with his own hands or in the factory.

Therefore, I think the most reliable way to high-quality base, for your home - to do all these activities, you can controlTo avoid possible problems with that, you control can not.
