About this listen
Before you pour concrete or raise walls, the real work starts in the dirt. In this episode of The House That Wisdom Built, Vince and Nathan break down the basics of grading, site prep, and foundations — the stuff that sets the tone (and budget) for everything that follows.
They cover what most people overlook in the early stages of a build, from drainage and topography to soil surprises and slab types. If you’re building new or tearing down to rebuild, this is the episode that helps you start on solid ground.
Topics Covered:
– What grading really involves (and why it matters)
– Managing water flow on tight lots
– The cost of skipping soil tests
– Slabs, stem walls, and full basements
– Foundation types and when to use them
