Did you ever see how the law defines a “solid foundation” in a building permit case, and how that sticks to your job?
Yes, the law spells out a “solid foundation” as a structure that can safely bear the building’s load without undue settling or shifting, and that definition is literally the bedrock of my practice, so I never take it lightly.
Sounds solid. What’s the toughest foundation you’ve ever had to set?
The toughest foundation I set was for a high‑rise on a former landfill—soil had to be stabilized, deep pilings installed, and every engineer’s report scrutinized; I won the permit after a months‑long battle over soil compaction standards.
That’s a tough one. You made it happen, which is what a good builder does. If you’re tackling another mound, I’m ready to lend a hand.
I appreciate the offer, but I prefer to keep this under my own control until I see the plans. If something critical comes up, I'll let you know.
