FAQ
Do you handle engineering and permits?
We work from your engineered plans. We coordinate inspections and can pull our scope when contracted to do so.
How do you connect the stem wall to the slab or block?
We install dowels and vertical bars per schedule and set anchor bolts or straps as specified for the next phase.
What mixes do you use?
We follow plan requirements. Typical footings and walls use 3,000–4,000 psi mixes, with additives as needed for weather or schedule.
How do you manage water in trenches?
We schedule digs close to pour, pump if needed, and stabilize the base. We do not pour into standing water.
Can you raise floor elevation to meet flood maps?
Yes. We build stem walls to the required height and can coordinate fill and compaction for the house pad.
