Footings and foundations

Everything above it depends on this.

A building is only as straight as its footing. We dig, form and pour to the plans, set the steel where the engineer drew it, and keep the job moving around inspections.

What we build

Below grade and above it.

Continuous footings

Footings for houses, additions, garages and commercial buildings, dug and formed to the plans.

Pier footings

Footings for posts, columns and porches, set at the right size and depth.

Block foundations

Footing and block from one crew, laid level and square.

Monolithic slabs

Footing and slab poured in one placement for garages, shops and smaller buildings.

Elevated slabs

Formed, shored and reinforced slabs above grade.

Building pads

Slab and pad work for new buildings, coordinated with the grading crew.

How we do it

Built to the plan, not to a guess.

Foundation work is where mistakes get buried. Ours get checked before the concrete covers them.

  • Lay out from the plans and confirm with the builder
  • Dig to the width and depth the plans and code require
  • Set and tie steel where the plans call for it
  • Plan the pour around the footing inspection
  • Pour, level and check for square
  • Lay block or form walls on a true footing
Above grade
Elevated slabs and pads
  • Elevated slabs, formed, shored and reinforced
  • Building pads, coordinated with the grading crew
  • Pours planned around the footing inspection
Questions

What people ask us.

Do footings need an inspection before the pour?

In North Carolina most footings are inspected before concrete is placed. We dig to the size and depth on your plans and the local code, and plan the pour around the inspection.

How deep do footings go?

As deep and as wide as your plans and the local building code call for, which depends on the structure, the load and the soil. We build to the plan, not to a guess.

What is an elevated slab?

A concrete slab that sits above the ground on supports instead of on dirt, like a deck, a porch over a basement, or an upper floor. It needs formwork, shoring and steel designed for the span.

Do you pour monolithic slabs?

Yes. A monolithic slab pours the footing and the slab in one placement. It suits garages, shops and many smaller buildings.

Can you build the block foundation too?

Yes. We set the footings and lay the block, so the foundation comes from one crew.
