constructability- piers or piles
proposed significate cut or fill
groundwater problems
foundation red lights - answer design not in accordance with geotechnical
recommendations
foundation location differs from site investigation location
foundation plans not adequate or complete

water seepage not anticipated in design
seismic conditions not documented properly in design or calculations
provisions dealing with frost heave not included
retaining structures or basement walls without adequate drainage
underfloor crawl space not vented or drained

if air temperatures are higher then 90 degrees and the humidity is less then 25 percent ,
concrete may suffer drying shrinkage cracking
