Telfair's mostly newer construction sits on modern post-tension slabs, but Fort Bend County's expansive clay doesn't make an exception for newer engineering — we know the community's layout and gate access.
Telfair spans over 2,000 acres of newer construction, mostly built on post-tension slab foundations designed to resist some cracking. But post-tension engineering manages internal slab stress, not the external clay soil movement underneath it — homes here still see foundation issues, particularly on larger lakefront lots where moisture levels vary more across a bigger footprint.
