New construction
Foundations for new homes, ADUs and SB 9 projects
Building on your lot? We pour the footings, stem walls and slabs that everything else sits on, working from your architect's and engineer's plans and through each city inspection.
New home foundations
Footings, stem walls and slab-on-grade for new houses and rebuilds, with rebar placed and ready for the city's pre-pour inspection.

Slab or raised foundations for detached ADUs, garage conversions and additions. When a conversion needs it, we strengthen the existing structure too.
SB 9 lot splits and two-unit builds
SB 9 is a California law, in effect since 2022, that lets owners of most single-family lots split the lot in two or build a second home. Some lots are excluded, such as historic districts and very high fire hazard zones, so check your lot with LADBS or your city first. Once you have plans, we build the foundations for the new units, plus the new driveway approach from the street.
How we work with your team
- Send us your approved plans or the structural sheets, and we'll price the foundation.
- Still in design? We can walk the lot with you and your engineer.
- We excavate, set forms, tie rebar and place anchor bolts and hold-downs to the plans.
- The city inspects before the pour; then we pour and the framing can start.
Questions
Can you pour the foundation for my ADU or new house?
Yes. Send us your approved plans or the structural sheets and we'll price the footings, stem walls and slab.
What is SB 9, and does it apply to my lot?
SB 9 is a California law, in effect since 2022, that lets owners of most single-family lots split the lot into two or build two homes on it. Some lots are excluded, such as historic districts and very high fire hazard zones. Check your lot with LADBS or your city first.
Do you build the driveway approach too?
Yes. Public works is on our license, so we can build the new driveway approach from the street.
