Hi everybody.
The guy who is doing my concrete/formwork etc for my ground slab for my new home recommends that i wait 28 days till i start building on it so it doesnt crack.
Now in reality, dont think anybody is going to wait 28 days to start building.
He then says to me just wait atleast a week then do the framework.
Is it really necessary to wait for the concrete to fully dry or can i start buidling few days after the slab is laid?
Im doing a brick vaneer home, what kind of damage can be done if i started within a week of being laid?
Is there any real science or research articles that show the longer the slab is left alone the better?
I though cracking was caused by the heat/cool process.
