My partner asked the drywall installer how long we should wait before painting the freshly skim-coated walls. He said three days but I think a couple of weeks!! Any advice?

I’m currently living in a bungalow and thinking about tearing it down to build a two-storey house on the same footprint, using the existing foundation. The current foundation is about 24 inches deep with 10 inches of concrete. I’ve heard the modern standard is closer to 36 inches. Can I build on these existing foundations or would they need to be replaced?
