Footings and walls
Concrete Foundations in Willow Springs
Is your builder waiting on the foundation? We pour it to the plans and on the date we commit to.
Who Is Waiting on Your Foundation?
Usually, everybody. The framer, the roofer, the window supplier and you. When the foundation runs late, the whole project slides. That is why we treat foundation dates as fixed. Before we commit to one, we look at your drawings, the site and our own schedule, and we only give you a date we can meet. Then we build it right. Footings are dug below frost depth to firm, undisturbed soil, which on hilly Willow Springs lots sometimes means stepping the footing down the slope as the plans require. Boards go up, get kicked and braced, and the transit confirms they are true. Bar goes in exactly where the engineer drew it. Walls go up on the footings with anchor bolts where the framer needs them. For detached garages and some smaller structures, the plans may call for a thickened-edge slab instead, and we pour those too. Inspections happen at the stages your permit requires, and we schedule pours around them so nothing sits idle. Strip day leaves the carpenters a clean, square start, and your calendar intact.

Excavation
Trenches to frost depth, stepped on slopes where the plans call for it.
Footings
Boxed, barred and filled to the width the drawings call for.
Walls
Braced, leveled and poured, with anchor bolts set for framing.
