    Material under foundation
    I have new foundation attached to my current house. The contractor told me that he would put rock under foundation before he put concrete on top of it.


    Would it be better to have sand under the foundation?

    Thanks

    Rock good, sand bad. You do not want to build anything on sand, it moves.
