Our Specialty

Foundations for Homes, Sheds and Decks

Every building, whether it is commercial, industrial or residential will need the right foundations that can support the structure that is being put up.  This assessment must be carried out by experienced and qualified structural engineers and geologists or other technicians, who will always have safety as a paramount consideration.

Assess the Load

Before any foundation work is undertaken you need to assess the loads that will be placed on the foundations.

Load Bearing Capacity of Soil

We also assess the load-bearing capacity of the soil on which the foundations will rest. 

Structural Engineering

These assessments must be carried out by experienced and qualified structural engineers and geologists or other technicians, who will always have safety as a paramount consideration.

A Wide Range Of

Considerations

Before hiring a concrete contractor in Jacksonville to help with your foundation, make sure that they have the expertise to address the following factors.  It can mean the difference between a slab that will last for decades vs one that needs costly repairs.

Need Professional Advice?

It makes sense to take the help of one of the best concrete companies in Jacksonville FL who can undertake such foundation work after carrying out all the necessary calculations and investigations.  

.

Need Concrete Pilings?

Concrete foundations vary, and the foundation that your Jacksonville concrete company will suggest depends on the structure, its loads, and other things. Some concrete companies may even recommend the use of piling or other means to reach the proper supporting ground.

Foundation Depth?

Concrete is a resilient material that is wet and liquid when first poured, but then sets and gains strength over time. Most concrete foundations are poured into excavated pits, which go down to the required level. Deeper foundations may need to be constantly dewatered if the water tables are high.

High Strength Concrete

Concrete foundations must have the necessary strength, and it is important that the concrete is tested by independent laboratories to ensure this.

Damp-Proof & Vapor Guarded Concrete Foundations

 It can also make sense to protect the concrete with damp proofing in case of continuous groundwater.

Mesh Reinforced Concrete

Concrete foundations also require being reinforced in cases where walls impose heavy loads on the foundation. This may not be necessary for a small single-storeyed house, where the mass of the concrete is strong enough to take the imposed load..

Proper Concrete Process

Laying a Proper Foundation

Foundations are under the ground and will have to be able to deal with water, freezing conditions, pests and other problems. A good foundation company will take all the necessary measures to ensure that the foundations they pour will effectively deal with all of these difficulties.

Foundation Crack Repairs

Settling and shifting of the soil underneath a house due to erosion can create foundation cracks.  We use the latest technology and methods to diagnose the cracks and to repair them properly.

Maintenance Free

A good contracting company will ensure that any concrete foundations that they provide will be maintenance free because repairs to foundations are often difficult and expensive.

Small and Large Projects

We are a large enough company who can undertake work for foundations and have our batching plant provide quality concrete.  Some smaller ones may prefer to buy ready mixed concrete from companies that supply it.

Concrete Joints

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur Laying a concrete foundation has to be a continuous process and where such quantities are large, joints have to be left at designated positions and in a manner that allows the foundation to work as one when it is completed.

Concrete Forming and Framing

 The concrete will also require formwork to ensure that it retains the required shape while it is hardening and setting..

Concrete Tamping and Vibrating

The concrete also needs to be vibrated, so that there are no honeycombs formed, and it is important to see that any concrete received at the pouring site has not gained initial set.

Concrete Curing

Concrete also needs to be properly cured till it gains the required strength as concrete releases a lot of heat while it is setting, and excess heat can lead to the concrete cracking.

Concrete Finishing

We finish the concrete based on the end use for the surface.
