Heaven help you if they pour you a basement. The more water you add to concrete the weaker it becomes. If the concrete came out of the concrete truck like soup it means that someone added water to it so that they can pour your concrete.

As a license architect I would rather have them "place the concrete" instead of "pour the concrete". You don't want to know how many cement load I rejected because the slump was too low.
