Services
Foundation & Structural
We construct all foundation types from basic slabs to complete cast-in-place structures. Our expertise includes caissons, post-tension systems, and suspended podium slabs. We handle challenging site conditions including limited access and below-water-table locations while maintaining structural integrity and architectural specifications.
Architectural Concrete
Our architectural concrete services create custom finishes including board form, HDO, bush hammer, and patterned form ties. We specialize in fireplace facades, water features, and outdoor kitchens that match historic aesthetics while meeting modern structural requirements through precise formwork and finishing techniques.
Hardscape
We implement landscape architects' designs using exposed aggregate, etched finishes, and patterned jointing. Our hardscape solutions combine functional drainage with aesthetic appeal through hand-tooled and saw-cut techniques that complement surrounding environments while maintaining durability.
Pervious Concrete
Our certified pervious concrete technicians install drainage systems meeting modern retention requirements. We use both standard strength and pervious concrete mixtures to create sustainable solutions that manage stormwater while maintaining structural performance and aesthetic specifications.
Expert Witness
We provide court-certified expert witness services including forensic investigation and cost analysis. Our president conducts structural plan reviews to ensure constructability, offering technical clarifications that prevent costly redesigns during construction while maintaining architectural intent.
