If you're building a home, a concrete slab makes sense because of its low cost. It's the cheapest option available, and, comparatively speaking, it's the quickest solution. The right crew can lay a concrete slab foundation in a short period of time, and the drying process doesn't take much longer.
Concrete foundations come in many styles that may or may not include walls, which impacts the cost. The average cost to build a house foundation ranges from $7,000 to $18,000, with most people paying around $9,502 for a 1,000-square-foot slab foundation 1.
Below is a breakdown of the national average cost for a concrete foundation based on square footage: 3,000 - 15,000 square feet: $15,046. 2,500 - 3,000 square feet: $12,240. 2,000 - 2,500 square feet: $10,022.
Some states may require you to give the builder a chance to make repairs before suing.And even without an implied warranty, you may be able to sue a builder on another legal ground, such as fraud, breach of contract, or negligence.
