I'm sure a shim kit would be included to even out discrepancies. If the tolerance is too high for that then your foundation needs to be fixed.

- bluGill 6y agoHaving done framing in the past I assure you foundation tolerances are not close enough for a shim kit in general.
- sjg007 6y agoSeems like people are getting away with shoddy work then.
- jeffbee 6y agoIt kinda seems cheap for people on a forum for software developers to criticize the quality of, well, just about anything.
- majormajor 6y ago"What do you mean you didn't finish all the tickets in this sprint? Must be shoddy work." You're looking at single pieces of a complex and already optimized-for-several-factors system and assuming it would be trivial to do it better for one factor without taking others into account...
- bluGill 6y agoIt costs more than it is worth to have them do better. As a framer is takes me a couple minutes more to compensate. To have the do it would take hours of labor.
- jessaustin 6y agoI presume you're talking about scribing the bottom plate, or perhaps another board placed between the foundation and the bottom plate? Why couldn't a layer of that same sort of scribed board be placed on the foundation before placing the prefab modules?
- bluGill 6y agoDepends on where it was. The worst case I saw was a half wall, so we cut each stud a different length. There are options for prefab as you saw - but when building on site we have the saws and other tools needed anyway, so it isn't a big deal to use them. With prefab they don't normally use those tools so you have to account for the cost of getting them out putting them away.
