But absolutely most definitely after the forms are removed, before any framing, the entire foundation should be measured by GC. This way they know the Floor and roof truss package is going to work and if not do something now before they are ordered/delivered. Anyway... it is the GC?s responsibility to take this up w the concrete sub and work something out in the order of a discount for you. Or he should eat the cost of a discount himself for not measuring twice. ;] Now Depending on what part of the country you live in it might be possible to pour a new footing for the garage wall so you get what you ordered. And yes he or the concrete sub (all for him to deal w) should eat the cost of doing such along w the cost of cutting any excess concrete away that would be where it wasn?t ordered. It may not look the prettiest in the end but they can rent a concrete resurfacer n install a proper expansion joint to remedy their mistake. the good thing is that this whole biznass will be right along the wall n likely covered up by whatever you end up storing there. Hope I?m Makin sense to you. Good luck.
