New Foundation Construction in Los Angeles

A building is only as good as what it stands on. GTKN builds new foundations for homes, room additions and ADUs throughout Los Angeles, from layout and excavation to rebar, forms and the concrete pour.

From layout to pour

We start by laying out the foundation from the plans and survey, then excavate footings to the depth and width the engineer specifies. Forms are set level and square, rebar is placed and tied to the drawings, and anchor bolts and hold-downs are positioned exactly where the framing will need them. After inspection, we pour, finish and cure the concrete properly.

Slab on grade or raised foundation

Slab foundations are common for ADUs, garages and many new homes, while raised perimeter foundations with a crawlspace suit sloped lots and match many older Los Angeles houses. We build both and can explain the tradeoffs for your lot, budget and design.

Foundation and framing under one roof

Because we also frame, we know exactly what the framing crew needs from the foundation. Bolts, hold-downs and dimensions are right the first time, which keeps the project moving from concrete to walls without costly fixes in between.
