I have been doing a lot of inspections on new builds lately and I’ve seen a lot of this lately. Because the form boards weren’t square when the foundations was poured, I see a lot of gaps between the fiber cement board and the foundation. How do you all write this up?
You don’t. It is common for a new foundation to be slightly out of square and slightly bowed in or out. The builder will snap parallel straight lines on the front and back foundation walls and 90-degree lines on the foundation end walls, floating the floor structure over the foundation.
