Although not required by North Carolina Residential Building Code, we include steel rebar reinforcement in our footings. Concrete in itself has high compressive strength, but is very low in tensile strength. With the addition of steel reinforcement this will increase the strength of the footing in case of movement. With the weight of brick veneer walls, Harrington Construction believes that steel is a required item for sustainable construction.



















As in this particular case,sometimes it is necessary to use a mobile crane pump so as not to disturb or destroy more trees/land in placement of the footer
