What are the tolerances for typical residential floor surfaces? I am aware of the difference between levelness and flatness, but don't have a copy of ACI 117 which I believe states the tolerances for concrete slabs. I also need to know the same information for elevated pier-and-beam wood framed floors. I don't know which standard governs that. Would it be the residential code for the area? We use the IRC here. Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks!
