I think you might be reading it wrong or I am one of the two. his footers are 4' in the ground. the actual footer is only 6" thick and 2' wide. I think

 

Where does the 6" come in?

 

thickness of his actual footer

 

Well if it is 4' deep and 2' wide, that only leaves length.

 

There is a pile of rebar laying beside the forms.

House is a 2 story with a walkout basement.

Tomorrow I am going to find out a few things. I here nothing but good thing about this company so I guess I will see.

 

I dont think the actual concrete is 4' thick. I think the hole for the footer is 4' in the ground . the actual concrete footer is 2' wide and 6" thick?? reread post 3

 

Should have rebar 3" from the ground and 1 and 1/2 " from the sides. I would expect at least a matt of rebar, even if it is only 6" in depth.

 

we dont have a frost line here but we have never poured any concrete without any steel in it. we've done some tension cable slabs and they even have rebar in the footers. fiberglass in the concrete doesnt hold it together like steel does. all the curbs we have poured have had at least one line of rebar in them

 

in az we use post tension slabs and they have rebar mat and a really small footer then they run steel cable though and after in cures then they come back and tighten up the cable.

 

Those are poured monlithically....yes?

 

yes

 

Since they already poured the footing with no rebar protruding from the footing for a connection, I would think they are going to use the footing (actually stim wall in this case) and are going to pour a floating slab,

 

yea but i would say you still need steel in the footing to keep it together

 

Before getting into hvac, I was a mason for 23 years. I calling BS. on the no re-bar in the footings!! Look at the structual drawings and or details to see what it calls for. If the architect passes this (from the structual engineers' specs.) then fire him! Get involved. Take care of this now before any warranty period expires! Rich
