House Constuction [Merged]

[travajante]

ah!
in the severest of examples, the foundation must have cost as much as the house.
good luck.

Sometimes, even more. A big chunk of it won't be visible/appreciable.[emoji41]

The proper way to do gate columns is to have both connected by a below-grade tie beam. This prevents differential settlement & misalignment between those 2 gate columns. Oftentimes, on gates close to a building structure, I'd go beyond & connect those fence/gate columns to the structure.
We can't prevent natural ground movement or settlement, but structural misalignment is very much addressable.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I'll ask the estimate for tie beams.

The remedy here is to excavate just below the floor to accommodate the beam that'll connect both hinge-holding posts. Pour concrete to floor level. Once done, realign your hinges.

Contractors these days are not so diligent anymore ... they don't even think the same way ... will be hiring you when the time comes ...

I see what you're seeing, sir, & appreciate your faith. Been thought of a fool(very few left?) but what can I do? Grew up in a blue-collar household led by a passionate tinkering craftsman & an overbuilder of a pop who instilled the discipline of taking ownership & doing right above the temptations of margins. A fool by choice, upbringing or genes? I dunno, all 3, I guess?[emoji848] No escapin' rooted, hardened habits....So please, pardon me if I don't CVT.[emoji120][emoji4]

Nagpagawa kami ng gate na natapos lang this February. After few weeks/days hirap na isara at buksan, gumagalaw daw yung lupa ng isang poste, lumulubog ng ilang mm. Baka daw yung ginagawang village malapit sa amin, maraming heavy equipment at nagpapatag at nagtatabon ng creek.

Sabi nung gumawa eh hindi daw makakatulong yung pag lagay ng tubo sa taas ng poste between the 2 post as brace. Hintayin na lang daw mag settle yung lupa then pa adjust yung gate. Baka daw ma hatak lang yung isang poste.

Meron naman nag suggest sa akin na makakatulong daw yung brace gitna ng poste. Iniisip ko baka ayaw lang gawin nung gumawa dahil fully paid na. Although na adjust nya yung welding para mas malayo ng konti yung 2 pinto ng gate at madali masara.

Here's a sample of a small & short gate column tied by beams. The red arrow beam to an existing structure, the green to the other gate post. The beams, columns & floor here were then poured in 1 sitting, monolithically.

You can surgically add them. Connections won't be as good, but they should help sort your issue, sir.
