A solid foundation is critical to the strength, safety, and energy performance of any structure. We provide professional contractors and property owners with dependable, code-compliant foundation solutions designed for both durability and efficiency. Whether you’re planning a new home, garage, shop, or shed, our foundation building materials make the construction process smoother and more reliable from start to finish.
Common Foundation Types
When planning a construction project, selecting the right type of foundation is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Slab-on-grade foundations are one of the most common options, particularly in residential and light commercial projects. This method involves pouring a single layer of concrete directly at ground level and is ideal for areas where the ground does not freeze deeply.
Crawl space foundations, on the other hand, raise the structure above ground level, creating a small space beneath the floor. This style can help with moisture control and access to utilities, making it a practical option in certain climates. For projects needing additional living or storage space, full basement foundations offer the deepest footprint, though they require more excavation and materials.
Post-frame foundations, commonly used for pole barns and storage buildings, involve vertical posts anchored directly into the ground or set in concrete piers. These foundations are often selected for their speed of construction and affordability, particularly in agricultural or utility-focused builds.
