Foundation installation work we take on
Reinforced slab on ground
A concrete slab poured on a dug-out, packed base, with steel rebar tied through it to hold the concrete together. It suits most homes and additions.
Post-tensioned slab
A slab with steel cables run through it and pulled tight once the concrete hardens, which squeezes the slab together. It's worth asking about on soil that swells and shrinks.
Addition and ADU foundations
A new foundation that ties into the house you already live in, poured so the new floor meets the old one, with the yard around it treated carefully.
What does a new foundation in Anaheim involve?
Foundation installation in Anaheim means forming, pouring, placing and finishing the concrete that a new home, addition or ADU stands on, so the floors and walls above it have a level, solid base for the life of the house.
Most people who call us are adding a room or an ADU, or they own a lot and have a new home in mind, and many already have a set of plans. The price moves with the foundation's size and shape, the slab type your plans call for, the work your soil needs underneath and how much steel and plumbing goes in, and the schedule mostly turns on finished plans and the city's review. If the budget gets tight, I'd suggest trimming something other than the base, because it's hidden on day one and it's what you live with for years. Once I've measured your lot, the estimate puts a number to your own job, and if your project is a smaller building, our slab foundation building page covers that work.
Foundation installation, from plans to the final pour
We build from your designer's plans and keep in touch with the city during its review, so what we pour matches what the city has seen.
Planning the plumbing first
Pipes poured into a slab are there for good, so we plan them with your plumber and leave out any you'll need to reach later.
Base and footings
We dig out and pack the subgrade, the soil the slab rests on, and form the concrete footings your plans show.
Steel set as drawn
We set the steel where your engineer drew it, around the pipes your plumber placed, so nothing gets cut out after the pour.
Pouring and curing
We pour early, finish it flat for the floor and keep it damp while it cures, so the surface doesn't turn weak and dusty.
Cleanup and the rest of the lot
We pull the forms and leave your yard clean, and on bigger properties we can pour the drives and concrete parking lots too.

Foundation questions we hear in Anaheim
How much does a new slab foundation cost in Anaheim?
A basic concrete slab foundation usually costs about $4,000 to $14,000 per job across the US, so treat that as a national starting point and not an Anaheim price. Your lot's soil and what your plans call for decide where you land, and the estimate after I measure puts a number on your own job.
Who draws foundation plans for a house in Anaheim?
In Anaheim, plans come from a qualified person, and for most projects that means a California licensed architect or engineer. The city's building staff doesn't prepare plans, so put your designer's fee in the budget from the start.
What is the best way to build a foundation on shrink-swell soil?
Ask your designer and every bidder about a post-tensioned slab, which the industry group for that kind of slab calls a cost-efficient, high-performance choice for homes on soil that swells and shrinks. Your designer picks the slab type from your lot's soil, and we pour the one the plans call for.
Does my Anaheim lot need a geotechnical study before a foundation?
If your lot sits in one of California's seismic hazard zones, state law requires a geotechnical study, a look at the soil and the site, before most buildings people live in can be permitted. The state advises checking with your local agency when you're unsure, so ask the city early, because a study can call for extra measures in the foundation design.
How do I choose a concrete contractor for a new foundation in California?
Choose one with a California license for concrete work and a written contract you understand. The state licensing board's concrete classification covers forming, pouring, placing and finishing concrete, and California sets special requirements for home improvement contracts, so it's fair to ask each bidder how their contract meets them.
How do I keep rainwater away from a new foundation?
Plan the yard so rain runs off the lot as fast as possible after a storm, because guidance on expansive soil names drainage after a rain as the most important single factor. When I visit, I look at where water runs now, so the ground around the new foundation can be graded to carry it away from the house.

Concrete footings
When you're adding a block wall, a porch or a post that carries real weight, a footing gives it a firm base of its own in the ground.

For owners of a commercial lot, a church or an apartment building, we pour parking areas built for daily traffic and graded so rainwater runs off.

A detached garage, workshop or backyard studio often needs only a single slab, poured on a packed base with steel throughout, instead of a full house foundation.

What foundation installation in Anaheim has to account for
In Anaheim, the city's Building Division reviews the plans for a new foundation, and when the job needs a permit, we handle the application with the city. If we're unsure what the city wants, we ask before we start, so there are no surprises once the forms are up.
Most Orange County cities share the same seismic design rating, which your engineer designs for, and expansive soil, clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries, turns up in some areas, so your lot's own soil shapes the slab your designer chooses. We see that same mix of ground on jobs in Fullerton and Orange, and we check where the water runs on every lot before we dig. We're based in Anaheim and work in the cities around it across Orange County and nearby, so please call even if your city isn't listed here.
