Very interesting Joe.

Very interesting Joe. Construction practices in my area are certainly different from those in San Antonio. I very seldom see a house on a slab-on-grade foundation and I have never seen one on a post tensioned slab. Large commercial buildings and parking garages have post tensioned slabs and beams, but I don't do commercial inspections.
Not everything in San Antonio is different from here in Kitchener Waterloo. In your photo gallery I saw that some of the defects are exactly what I would find here. Some honest mistakes but also several defects that show an I-don't-care attitude.
Keep the public informed with good post like this one. Thank you.
Bert de Haan.
