Concrete Slab & Foundation Work
Your foundation is the most important part of any structure, and we build it right the first time.
Why Foundation Quality Matters
You cannot see your foundation once the building goes up, but it determines everything about how your structure performs. A poorly poured slab leads to cracks, uneven floors, and structural problems that cost thousands to fix later. A properly built foundation stays level, handles the weight of your building, and lasts for generations without issues.
We have been pouring residential and commercial foundations in Aliso Viejo since 2024. We know the local soil conditions, building codes, and exactly what it takes to create a foundation that will support your project for decades. Whether you are building a new home, adding a room addition, or constructing a commercial building, the foundation work needs to be done right from day one.
Foundation work is not something you can cut corners on. The time and money you save upfront with a cheap contractor gets erased when you deal with settlement, cracking, or worse, structural failure. We use proper engineering, quality materials, and proven techniques that meet or exceed building codes. Your investment deserves a solid foundation.
Types of Foundation and Slab Work We Do
Different projects need different foundation solutions. We handle the full range of residential and commercial concrete foundation work, and we help you choose the right type for your specific situation. Here is what we specialize in:
- •Slab-on-grade foundations: The most common foundation type in Southern California, perfect for single-story homes and additions. We excavate, prepare the base, pour a solid concrete slab that serves as both foundation and floor.
- •Post-tension slabs: Ideal for larger buildings or areas with expansive soil. Steel cables are tensioned after the concrete cures, creating incredible strength and crack resistance.
- •Raised foundations: When you need plumbing access or want to elevate the structure, we build raised foundations with proper support and ventilation.
- •Commercial foundation slabs: Heavy-duty foundations for warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial buildings that handle significant weight and equipment loads.
- •Garage and workshop slabs: Thicker slabs designed to support vehicles and heavy equipment without cracking or settling.
Each type of foundation requires specific knowledge and techniques. We work with structural engineers when needed and always follow proper building codes and best practices. You get a foundation designed specifically for your project, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our Foundation Installation Process
Foundation work follows a specific sequence that cannot be rushed. We start with thorough site evaluation and soil testing when needed. Poor soil conditions require additional preparation or engineering solutions. We identify and solve these issues before pouring, not after.
Excavation comes next. We dig to the proper depth and create level forms that match your building plans exactly. The sub-base gets compacted to prevent future settlement. We install proper vapor barriers to keep moisture out of your concrete. Plumbing and electrical conduits go in before the pour, carefully positioned and protected.
Reinforcement is critical. We use rebar or wire mesh placed at the correct height and spacing. This steel reinforcement gives your slab incredible strength and helps control cracking. We do not skip this step or use less steel to save money. Your foundation gets the reinforcement it needs based on engineering requirements.
The concrete pour itself requires coordination and experience. We order the correct mix design for your application. Our crew places and finishes the concrete to achieve proper thickness, slope, and surface finish. We pay special attention to curing because concrete that dries too fast loses strength. Your foundation is protected and allowed to cure properly before construction continues. If you need foundation work for your home or business, we handle every detail correctly.
Working With Your Builder or Architect
Foundation contractors need to coordinate closely with your general contractor, architect, and other trades. We have years of experience working as part of larger construction teams. We show up on schedule, communicate clearly, and complete our work so the next phase can begin without delays.
We review building plans carefully and raise any concerns before starting work. If something looks off or does not match site conditions, we speak up. Catching problems in the planning phase saves everyone time and money. We also provide detailed documentation of our work for building inspectors and your records.
Whether you are a homeowner managing your own project or a builder who needs a reliable concrete subcontractor, we deliver professional results on time and on budget. Our reputation in Aliso Viejo comes from doing quality concrete work that passes inspection the first time and performs perfectly for years.
