You must have done your research ahead of time. Both of these items are important, the rest is just about good design and qualifications/experience of the contractor. Good prep work. Weather conditions.

Nathan, tks for the reply, appreciate your insight

Make sure the reinforcing steel is center of the concrete, not at the bottom. Good luck!
