CAN A HOME BE BUILT IN THE WINTER?
Yes, we build homes in the winter. Not that many years ago, we didn’t build homes in the winter because we couldn’t pour concrete in weather that was below freezing. Some may think that this is still a bad idea, but with a few precautions and following some basic rules, pouring concrete in the winter is no big deal. In fact, according to the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), “Placing concrete in cold weather provides the opportunity for better quality, as cooler initial concrete temperature will typically result in higher ultimate strength.” If you aren’t convinced that pouring concrete in cold weather is a good building practice, read more from the NRMCA.
