David Allen Coe once said “It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.”
What exactly is the foundation?
A foundation the base structure of a building which should be done properly to distribute the weight of a new building and provide a firm footing. If the foundation has errors, the entire building/project would have to shut down because there will be many safety concerns.
