Building the Foundation for Kansas City's Passive House

Things are progressing at the Beacon Hill High Performance Home

In partnership with ABI Corporation, we officially have foundation walls!

The concrete foundation will need to cure for at least 30 days to prevent micro-fractures and increase durability of the foundation.

Too often we see backfilling starting quickly after the foundation is poured which can lead to a higher likelihood of foundation issues in the future. 

In order to build a durable, healthy, and sustainable home we have to take proper care of the foundation. Before backfilling, we will also waterproof and insulate the foundation.
