Slab foundations and building pads in Woodway
Book inspections a day ahead: the City prefers 24 hours' notice, and a failed inspection may bring a re-inspection fee of $50.00 to $125.00, at the inspector's discretion.
Where clay expands when wet and shrinks as it dries, compaction and drainage come first, and one published guide says "the best approach is a structural slab that doesn't bear on the soil at all or a post-tensioned slab". The Post-Tensioning Institute says a post-tensioned slab gets the same capacity from less concrete and steel, and keeps cracks tight. The International Building Code, as PTI quotes its 2015 edition, requires such foundations on expansive soils to be designed to PTI's standard DC 10.5.

Before you pour a slab
Does a storage building need a permit in Woodway?
Yes. The City wants accessory structures permitted before they are placed, including pools and all storage buildings, delivered or built on site, even without a permanent foundation. Its fee schedule, effective October 1, 2026, charges $50.00 for one under 200 square feet and $100.00 at 201 square feet or more.
Does a slab on expansive clay need an engineered design?
The 2024 International Residential Code says "Foundation and floor slabs for buildings located on expansive soils shall be designed in accordance with Section 1808.6 of the International Building Code", and McLennan County's 2001 soil survey says foundations should be engineered to the soil, including the depth to bedrock, the depth to a water table and natural drainage. We didn't confirm which code edition Woodway enforces, so ask the City.
What concrete strength does a garage floor need?
The International Residential Code's strength table lists garage floor slabs at 2,500, 3,000 or 3,500 psi at 28 days, for negligible, moderate and severe weathering areas. Which column applies around Waco wasn't confirmed, so the mix is settled with the design.
