Construction joints are placed in a concrete slab to define the extent of the individual placements, generally in conformity with a predetermined joint layout. Construction joints must be designed in order to allow displacements between both sides of the slab but, at the same time, they have to transfer flexural stresses produced in the slab by external loads. Construction joints must allow horizontal displacement right-angled to the joint surface that is normally caused by thermal and shrinkage

@stephaniebuildsit takes us to Heber, Utah for an above-the-slab walkthrough of one of the most detailed under-slab preparations she’s ever seen. Before concrete is poured, she breaks down every layer of the system—from HVAC ducts and plumbing layout to the active radon mitigation loop, vapor barrier installation, Owens Corning XPS insulation, and the radiant heat tubing grid. Stephanie explains why each component matters, how it ties back to code, and what builders should know to avoid common m

Travis heads to Kansas City where Brandon walks him through a unique underslab setup: double-layer GPS insulation, a vapor radon control membrane, and precision subgrade prep—all coming together to create a high-performance floating concrete floor. They break down durability, thermal performance, detailing challenges, and the craftsmanship needed when the slab is the final finished surface.
