Hello,
three strip foundations for a prefabricated garage from Zapf have been made for us, and we have noticed that at least one of them is slightly uneven (the middle is slightly raised compared to the edge, slightly = estimated about 1cm (0.4 inches) higher than the rest?). Is this within the normal range and acceptable, or could this cause problems later when the garage is placed on it? In my layperson’s view, the garage might no longer sit level...?

Has the garage supplier specified anything? Ask them if you’re unsure! Usually, the final position and levelness of the garage are ensured by using spacer shims during installation. I assume everything is fine on your end.

Thanks in advance for the reply! Yes, of course we will ask… A friend who is a civil engineer also mentioned that such minor unevenness can probably be corrected when setting up the garage. It just seemed/ seems a bit strange to us, but as I said, we are laypersons!

Masons are not fine craftsmen but generally skilled with rough work. That's why, in my opinion, tolerances were introduced. So everything is fine!
