        "text": "The pouring of a concrete foundation for a typical residential home can often be completed in one day, assuming proper site preparation is done beforehand. However, the concrete then needs to cure. While it reaches about 70% of its strength within the first 7 days, a full cure can take 28 days or more, depending on the mix and environmental conditions. Construction can often proceed on the foundation after a few days to a week, but full strength is achieved later.",
