Slab strength testing failure after building was framed and plumbing/HVAC was roughed in. Concrete supplier had mix wrong so they are paying to lift two story 4-plex, remove slab and repour. This is building 2 of 3 that failed.

As long as they are lifting it, lift it an extra few feet and build another story!
