I am rebuilding my garage with a 900 Sq. Ft. game room above it. The architect drew the designs using the minimum requirements per Harris County.
I have been told to increase the beams of the slab to double thickness to ensure the building above it doesn’t shift. In addition to increasing the beams, I was told to upgrade from #3 (3/8) rebar to #4 (1/2). Do you think these are needed or am I being given bad advice?
