New Foundation Construction

From site prep to a fully cured pour: typically 7–14 days, weather dependent. Excavation and forming take 2–4 days; rebar, plumbing rough-in, and inspections add 2–3 days; the pour itself is one day; full cure to load-bearing strength is 7 days, full design strength at 28. We coordinate with your builder so framing can start on schedule.

Yes. We pull foundation permits in every NWA city we work in, schedule and meet inspectors, and provide stamped engineering when the structural design requires it. You stay focused on your project; we handle the city paperwork.

Depends on the lot. Flat lots usually get a monolithic slab — fastest and least expensive. Sloping lots in Bella Vista or hillside Fayetteville often justify a walkout basement that adds usable square footage. Where the water table is high, a pier-and-beam over crawl space sometimes wins. We design to the actual site rather than defaulting to one approach.

We require soil testing on any lot with engineered fill or unknown history. Based on the geotechnical report we either over-excavate and re-compact, design a deeper footing, or specify helical piers from the start so we're transferring load to undisturbed strata. Skipping this step is how you end up with a 3-year-old house that needs underpinning.
