My buildings all have the concrete poured right up against the posts and skirt boards. After curing it pulls away a little bit.My posts are 8 feet on center and my concrete guy just sawed it to the center of the posts could only come to about 2" from post saw won't go all the way just have a little crack from the end of the saw cut to the post. Another important thing is to keep a uniform thickness on your slab.This makes it stronger as it usually breaks easy at a place where it gets thicker,plus you can save money by not wasteing concrete. One thing I like to do is to form up and pour a seperate footer about 3 feet deep and 1 foot wide right under my overhead doors the whole lengh. It takes more time and costs a little more but the frost isn't lifting up the pad under my doors cracking it and keeping the doors from sealing up.
