Aug 22, 2020 7:07 pm

Re: Concrete Split level Slab costsBuilding A New House

Aug 08, 2020 2:21 pm

Every block (i.e. fall/slope) will be different and require different structural piers and beams to support the structure on challenging building platforms.

Hi Edb, Yes, it is good to hear that someone else is building with Mainvue too... The Mainvue electrical contractor contacted us several times directly which is what they said is going to happen. We ended up going with the luxury electrical pack only, although we wanted a few other additional things...
