FAQs About Our Foundations & Formwork Services

How can I tell if my foundation can be repaired or needs to be replaced entirely? 

The best place to start is with a consultation. An initial assessment can show the condition of your foundation and highlight areas for concern. For example, efflorescence might indicate water infiltration through micro fractures in the material. In some cases, remedial treatment--such as proper soil drainage--can avoid costly repairs. For complex projects we are happy to work with engineers on the appropriate solution for your situation. 

Can you pour sloped driveways? 

Yes, our formwork division has extensive experience with the Bay Area's unique geological conditions, such as steep slopes and shifting soils. Our projects include a groundworks assessment to understand any problematic factors. 

What types of concrete do you use for foundations?

We typically use high-strength concrete mixes with a compressive strength of 3000–5000 psi, depending on the project requirements. Additives like fly ash or silica fume may be included for enhanced durability.

Can you handle complex formwork designs?

Yes. Our expertise includes curved formwork, architectural details, and custom inlays using advanced systems.

How long does the concrete curing process take?

Concrete curing typically requires 28 days to reach full strength, but projects are often ready for light use within 7–10 days, depending on weather conditions and mix design.
