Fundation
Fundation
(OP)
My contractor just poured foundation last week.
He is already framing, is this normal to do this so quick, also the foundation is not smooth, some places you could see
Small rocks exposed 6" wide by 6'feet long.
Should I be worried?

RE: Fundation
What do you mean by "small rocks exposed"? Do you mean the agregate in the concrete? If it is a steel frame building and grout is poured under the baseplates after lining & leveling then dont worry about the roughness - the grout will fill that out.
RE: Fundation
The gravel is usually tamped down when the mix is in the plastic state. The exposure of the rocks, sould be several things. I would quess it indicates a cold bond joint. This is when the concrete truck batches were not consective and the first placed concrete was hardened before the next truck arrived. Depending on the floor covering it should be filled and leveled with grout. Watch for cracking too.
