Commercial building foundation construction provides the structural base upon which all building loads ultimately rest. The work encompasses spread footings, continuous footings, grade beams, pier systems, and reinforced slab-on-grade construction, each system selected based on structural loads, soil conditions, and building type. Foundation construction requires precise coordination between geotechnical recommendations, structural engineering, and field construction practices.
North Texas soil conditions significantly impact foundation design and construction. Expansive clay soils in many areas expand when wet and shrink when dry, creating heave and settlement forces that can damage improperly designed foundations. Geotechnical investigations identify soil characteristics and recommend foundation systems appropriate for site conditions. We work with geotechnical and structural engineers to implement foundation designs that accommodate local soil behavior.
Commercial foundation construction requires careful attention to reinforcement placement, concrete placement procedures, and curing practices. Reinforcing steel must be placed at correct elevations and spacing per structural drawings. Concrete must be properly consolidated to eliminate voids and honeycomb around reinforcement and embed items. Curing practices must maintain proper moisture and temperature conditions for concrete strength development.
Foundation construction scheduling impacts overall project timelines. Foundation work must be complete before structural steel or tilt-up panel erection can proceed. Embedment locations for structural connections must be precisely placed to allow field connections without costly corrections. We coordinate foundation schedules with structural contractors and overall project milestones to keep development timelines on track.
As a general contractor, we manage foundation construction as part of complete building delivery or as a standalone scope for developers who contract building components separately. Either approach provides direct accountability for foundation quality and schedule performance.

What foundation types do you construct?
We construct spread footings, continuous footings, grade beams, drilled pier foundations, and reinforced slab-on-grade systems. Foundation type selection depends on structural loads, soil conditions, and building design. We work with structural engineers to implement appropriate foundation systems.
How do you handle North Texas expansive clay soils?
We work with geotechnical and structural engineers to implement foundation designs that accommodate expansive soil conditions. This may include pier and beam systems, void forms under slabs, or other measures specified by the design team based on site-specific soil conditions.
What is the typical timeline for commercial foundation construction?
Commercial foundation timelines typically range from 3-8 weeks depending on foundation type, size, and complexity. Pier foundations may require additional time for drilling and concrete placement. We coordinate foundation schedules with overall project milestones.
