🛑Watch the video attached and see why building quality sustainable new homes 🏡 are important! I break it down below and give an explanation of why these new homes were completely demolished in the recent 🌬️ wind ⛈️ storms here in Dallas Fort Worth. https://youtube.com/shorts/RLXN6Q-IF_Y?si=pmdAfqBeBwqraj8Y Why Are Anchor Bolts Important? Anchor bolts secure the wooden framing (the bottom plate of the walls) to the concrete slab, preventing movement during high winds, earthquakes, or settling. If the framing isn’t properly anchored, the structure can shift or even collapse under pressure. Basic Steps of Building a Home on a Slab Foundation: 1. Prepare the Site – Clear the land, level it, and set forms for the foundation. 2. Pour the Concrete Slab – After plumbing and electrical conduits are in place, the slab is poured and smoothed. 3. Install Anchor Bolts – While the concrete is still wet, anchor bolts are embedded around the perimeter (typically every 6 feet) to secure the walls. 4. Curing Time – The concrete needs time to harden and gain strength (usually a few days to a week). 5. Framing the Walls – The wooden framework (studs and bottom plate) is built and lifted into place. 6. Securing with Anchor Bolts – The bottom plate of the framing is drilled to align with the anchor bolts, then tightened down with washers and nuts to keep the structure firmly attached to the foundation. 7. Continue Framing – Exterior and interior walls are completed, followed by roof trusses and sheathing. 8. Install Roofing, Windows, and Doors – The home starts taking shape with weatherproofing. 9. Rough Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC – These systems go in before insulation and drywall. 10. Finish Interior & Exterior – Drywall, flooring, cabinets, and final touches bring the home to life. Bottom Line: If the framing isn’t securely strapped to the slab, the house can shift, crack, or even be lifted off the foundation in extreme weather. Proper anchoring is a key step in building a strong and durable home.🏡
