Foundations - Should I Sub Them Out?

Foundations - Should I Sub Them Out? Just a heads-up — some of the gear and materials in this build are supplied by partners we already use on most of our jobs. They’re backing us on this project, which means we get to show you the process properly — appreciate the support. If you’re keen on bonus building content, check out the link below: 👉 https://nzbuilder.co.nz/Building-Info As builders, we’re trained to do it all — from framing and roofing right down to slab prep. But here’s the catch: just because we can do it, doesn’t always mean we should. Slab crews like RFL pour foundations every day. They’ve got the systems, the gear, and the speed dialled in. What might take a general builder a week, they can smash out in days — freeing us up to push the build forward. In this episode of That Build Up There, we break down: The difference between builder training and slab crew expertise. When it makes sense to prep a slab yourself, and when to bring in a specialist team. How subbing out can actually save time, money, and stress. Why the right crew can give your project a massive boost heading into the pour. It’s not about ego — it’s about building smart. Knowing when to do it yourself, and when to call in the slab crew, is what keeps the whole site moving. 👉 Subscribe to follow the journey as we tackle every stage of building this epic house on a sloping site. #SlabPrep #ConcretePour #ThatBuildUpThere #NZBuilder
