We build solid concrete foundations and slabs for new construction and additions.
Your foundation is the most important part of any building project. If the foundation is not done right, everything else will have problems. We specialize in concrete slab foundations that provide a stable base for homes, additions, garages, and other structures.
In Southern California, slab foundations are the most common choice for new construction. They are cost-effective, durable, and work well with our climate and soil conditions. A properly built slab foundation can last the entire life of your building without major issues.
We have been pouring foundations in Culver City and surrounding areas for years. We work with homeowners, contractors, and builders who need foundation work done right. Whether you are adding a room to your house or building a new structure from scratch, we provide the foundation expertise you need.
We handle all types of concrete slab and foundation work. Each project is different, but our process ensures quality results every time.
Slab-on-grade foundations are poured directly on prepared soil. This is the most economical option for level lots with good soil conditions. We excavate the area, compact the soil, add a gravel base, and install vapor barriers before pouring the concrete.
For homes on slopes or poor soil, we may recommend a stem wall foundation. This raises the slab above ground level and provides better drainage and stability. Post-tension slabs use steel cables to strengthen the concrete and prevent cracking in expansive clay soils.
Building a foundation requires precision and attention to detail. We follow strict procedures to ensure your foundation meets all building codes and engineering specifications.
First, we review the plans with you and verify all property lines and setbacks. We coordinate with your architect or engineer to make sure we understand all the requirements. If your project needs permits, we help with the inspection process.
Next, we excavate the site and prepare the subgrade. This is critical work that many contractors rush through. We remove unstable soil, compact the ground properly, and create the correct drainage slope. We install a gravel base and vapor barrier to protect against moisture.
Then we build the forms and install the reinforcement. Rebar placement must be precise to meet engineering specifications. We tie the rebar grid according to the plans and make sure it is properly elevated within the slab. We also install any plumbing or electrical sleeves that need to run through the foundation.
When everything is ready, we pour the concrete. Foundation pours typically use large amounts of concrete, so we coordinate delivery carefully to ensure continuous placement. We finish the surface level and smooth for the framing crew. After pouring, we monitor the curing process and protect the concrete from temperature extremes. If you need other concrete work like driveways or walkways, we can schedule it to match your construction timeline.
