Related Services
Commercial concrete foundations across McKinney serve retail pads, office buildings, and light industrial facilities requiring cost-effective foundation systems. These conventional foundations provide reliable support for structures without the complexity of post-tension systems or specialized engineering.
Retail pad development and smaller commercial buildings often utilize conventional reinforced foundations offering straightforward construction and predictable performance. Our crews execute these foundations with the same quality control and scheduling discipline applied to larger industrial projects.
Foundation construction coordinates with civil engineering, utility installations, and building timelines affecting project delivery. We manage these elements directly with property owners, ensuring foundations complete on schedule for vertical construction.

From excavation depth to rebar placement and concrete mix design, every phase is executed to structural drawings with tight tolerances and third-party testing.
Schedule Coordination
Foundation pours are sequenced with site work, utilities, and framing trades to keep your project on schedule without delays or rework.
Spread footings, continuous footings, and grade beam systems
Post-tension slab-on-grade for expansive clay soils
Pier and beam foundations with proper soil stabilization
Structural slabs with embedded utilities and penetrations
Complete coordination with geotech, structural engineers, and inspectors

Process
How We Execute
Pre-Construction Review
Review structural drawings, soils reports, and site logistics. Coordinate with engineers, geotechs, and inspectors to confirm foundation design, schedule, and material requirements.
Excavation & Grading
Excavate to design depth, stabilize subgrade, and verify compaction. Set forms, install vapor barriers, and prepare for rebar installation per structural specs.
Rebar & Embeds
Install reinforcing steel, post-tension cables, anchor bolts, embedded utilities, and all penetrations. Third-party inspection verifies placement before concrete is ordered.
Concrete Placement
Pour concrete using laser-guided screeds for flatness. Sample cylinders, verify slump, and complete finishing operations. Document pour with photos and inspector sign-offs.
Testing & Closeout
Complete post-tension stressing, cylinder break testing, FF/FL surveys, and final inspections. Deliver closeout package with all test reports, warranties, and documentation.
FAQ
Common Questions
What's the difference between commercial and industrial foundations?
Commercial foundations typically support lighter structural loads than industrial facilities, often using conventional reinforcement rather than post-tension systems. Design depends on building use and structural requirements.
How quickly can commercial foundations be constructed?
Retail pad and small commercial foundations typically require 1-3 weeks from excavation through completion depending on size and soil conditions.
Do commercial foundations require engineering?
Yes. Structural engineers design foundations based on building loads, soil conditions, and code requirements. We coordinate with engineers throughout construction.
Can foundations be poured year-round?
Concrete placement can occur during most weather conditions. Cold weather requires heating provisions and hot weather demands moisture control, but work proceeds year-round with proper precautions.
What testing is required for commercial foundations?
Testing typically includes concrete strength verification, reinforcement inspection, and elevation surveys. We coordinate all testing with third-party inspectors.
