The Most Stressful Part of Laying Foundations

Just a heads-up — some of the materials in this build are being supplied by partners we already use on most of our jobs. They're backing us on this project, which means we get to show you the process without cutting corners — appreciate the support.

Foundations look simple — concrete, pipes, drains — but this stage can make or break your build. Once the concrete is poured, it’s literally set in stone. In this episode of That Build Up There, we rip the ground up again to get the plumbing right, and face the decisions that will shape the entire house.

Here’s what we cover step by step:
Walking the site with plans in hand, pointing out every key drain.
Kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and outdoor drains — why it matters to lock these in now.
Breaking down foul water, stormwater, retaining wall drains, and inspection points.
The stress of final decisions when it’s your forever home, not a client’s.
How Josh and Nicole work through the choices — and what advice they’d give first-time builders.

If you rush or skip this stage, you’ll be stuck with mistakes under the slab forever. Do it right, and your foundation will serve you for decades.
