Our 10 inch poured concrete foundation means we can minimise overlapping the brick or the wood frame on the foundation wall, and still put in a layer of insulation and sheathing behind the brick - beyond an R2000 home. A double run of 15mm rebar in the footing and both internal and external big "O" drainage pipe - neither of which are code requirements- protect against many future problems.
Securing the structure to the foundation wall is also key. Here you see the "T" anchor bolt arrangement designed by the structural engineer. Kuipers Concrete did an excellent job of carefully placing these in the foundation wall.
Here is a video of MG Masonry delivering bricks to the site.They work their people very hard as you can see. (just kidding)
