    To my understanding it doesn't matter at all . The ringbeam just connects the piles , so effectively is the pile cap. Load sits on the piles.

    Jeepers! makes our build seem like a cake walk. Good to see you making so much progress. Getting all that concrete onto site is going to be a challenge. Looks like the rebar caging is in good shape.

    All Pat and I can say is "hats off" well done.
