Foundation Design in Carrollton

The most important element of your home is the foundation. Unfortunately, it is often the one element that receives the least attention; because it is the least visible portion of the home. As one client said “Money that is taken out of the foundation can be put into doorknobs”. Proper foundation design requires an assessment of the lot, the foundation soils, and the architecture of the house. Foundations need to be strong and either supported on a stable geological formation or isolated from the effects of expansive soil. After the inspection is complete and the lot and geology have been defined, the proper foundation type can be chosen to fit the client’s objectives. The types of foundation are:

Pier and beam
Suspended slab
Slab on grade (with piers and void boxes)
Slab on grade

The slab on grade foundations can be either reinforced concrete with rebar or post-tensioned reinforcement. Crosstown Engineers are top-rated professionals helping homeowners with foundation design in Carrollton.
