1. A method, comprising:
providing a ground site having a surface;
preparing the ground site for construction of a portland cement concrete slab-on-ground (PCC SoG) of a building;
monitoring, using a computerized weather application operable on an electronic device, weather conditions for a geographic locale that includes the ground site to identify a window-of-time during which the weather application indicates there is a less than 50% chance of precipitation at the geographic locale;
proof rolling the surface of the ground site during the window-of-time wherein the ground site is assigned a passing grade or a failing grade, wherein the step of preparing the ground site includes identifying locations of columns for the building at the surface of the ground site wherein bays of the building are identified between sets of the locations, and wherein the step of proof rolling is carried out for each of the bays;
emplacing, using concrete emplacement equipment during the window-of-time and only after the passing grade is assigned, wet concrete on the surface of the ground site to a nominal thickness that does not exceed 7 inches and that is at least one inch less than a PCC SoG design for the ground site having a design thickness based on design guidelines set forth by the American Concrete Institute; and
completing the step of emplacing with at least 4 hours remaining in the window-of-time.
