The project
A Toronto homeowner was building a new detached garage and enclosing an existing porch. The garage needed a reinforced, insulated slab on grade, and the porch enclosure needed new footings to carry the added walls and roof.
What KMG did
Designed the reinforced garage slab with a thickened perimeter edge
Specified rigid XPS insulation and reinforcement layout below and around the slab
Designed concrete pier footings for the porch, founded below the frost line
Prepared sealed drawings for the City of Toronto building permit
The result
The contractor built the slab and porch footings from clear, sealed drawings, giving the homeowner a solid, insulated garage floor and a porch enclosure on proper foundations.
