Please tell me your joking? when was the slab poured? your meant to let a slab cure for 28 days before screw fixing/dynabolting frames to it, but you can get away with 2 weeks, a week is really, really pushing it and i have never/will never do it under 2 weeks.

Builders are usually putting the frame up the next day after the slab is done. Ours was left for 2 - 3 days.

I was speaking with a builder tonight and he said it is very common for them to still be pouring the slab and have a surveyor on site to mark out the already dry concrete for the trusses.

Apparently they use something in the concrete so it sets quicker. I dunno, but our frame we up slower than some others have around here. I have never in my life seen a slab set for 28 days.
