Concrete Foundations & Slabs in Los Angeles
Structural concrete is where accuracy pays off. Elevations, setbacks, embeds and rebar placement all have to match the approved drawings, and inspections happen before the pour — not after. We work to the plans and the engineer's details, and we schedule around inspection windows rather than hoping to catch up later.
Scope
What this work includes
- Spread footings and continuous footings
- Stem walls and grade beams
- Slab-on-grade for additions, garages and ADUs
- Equipment pads, shed pads and generator pads
- Rebar placement, dowelling and embeds per plan
- Vapor barrier and base rock installation
Plans, permits and inspections
Structural work in Los Angeles is permitted and inspected. Bring us your approved plans, or your designer's drawings in progress, and we'll build to those details and coordinate our pour schedule with the inspection sign-off.
Soil and site conditions
Hillside lots, expansive clay and old fill all change what the footing has to be. When a soils report or engineering detail exists, we follow it. When the site says something different than the plan, we stop and flag it.
Access on tight LA lots
Many jobs here have no truck access to the back of the property. Pumping, conveyor or wheelbarrow placement changes the labor and the schedule, so we sort out access before we quote the work.
How the work goes
Our process, start to finish
- 01
Phone conversation
You call, we ask what the slab is doing, how the space is used and what access looks like. Photos help. No form to fill out.
- 02
On-site look
We walk the area, check drainage, subgrade and existing concrete, and confirm measurements and elevations.
- 03
Written scope
You get the scope in writing: dimensions, thickness, reinforcement, finish, joint layout and what's excluded.
- 04
Prep and forming
Demolition and haul-off, grading and compaction, base rock, forms, reinforcement — the part that determines the outcome.
- 05
Pour and finish
Placement, screeding, floating, the finish you chose, and joints cut or tooled where they belong.
- 06
Cure and walkthrough
We tell you when to stay off it, when vehicles can return, and we walk the finished work with you.

Where we work
Foundations & Slabs across Los Angeles
Conditions change block to block in this city. Hillside access, older subgrade, street tree roots and permit requirements at the sidewalk all shift how the same job gets built.
Downtown Los Angeles
Tight sites, shared alleys and loading constraints — work is usually phased and often pumped rather than truck-chuted.
Silver Lake & Echo Park
Hillside lots with stairs and steep driveways, where access and elevation planning matter as much as the pour itself.
Highland Park & Eagle Rock
Older bungalow lots with original walkways and porches that are frequently past repair and better replaced.
Hollywood & East Hollywood
Dense street parking and permit-heavy curb work; we plan truck staging before the day of the pour.
Mid-City & Koreatown
Mixed residential and small commercial flatwork, including path-of-travel and trash-enclosure pads.
West Los Angeles & Palms
Driveway replacements and garage-to-ADU pads on narrow lots with limited side-yard access.
