Cornerstone Foundations' jobs are 75% residential
and 25% commercial. We welcome the simple to the most
complicated jobs. When a customer contacts our office,
we begin with the estimating process. After a contract
is signed, we schedule the project. Before we start,
the customer must have building permits, excavation
and surveys complete.

Footer Crew

Form-a-Drain Footer
|
The foundation work begins with our layout man meeting the builder or homeowner on the site. Together they discuss the plans and orient the house. Then our footer crew arrives. They form the footing using Form-A-Drain as well as digging any frost footings. The footer is inspected and then poured.
Before the wall crew arrives, the points are located again and under-slab stone placed by Valley Stone Slinger Services.

Typically the crane truck arrives the
following day, delivering the wall forms in steel
baskets. The operator places them in the foundation
hole. Then the crew arrives and begins unloading the
forms and setting the wall.
When the wall is set and ready for pouring,
we place the concrete using concrete pumps. Concrete
trucks empty the concrete into the pump hopper, and
it is pumped out through the hose, into the forms.
Concrete pump trucks save time and money!

The following day, the crew arrives back at the job
to strip the forms off of the wall. They load the
baskets, and before leaving they check the wall for
accuracy, assuring a quality product is delivered
to the customer.

The concrete has cured and the wall is stripped.

Once the crane truck removes the
baskets, and stone placement is completed, Cornerstone
Foundations work is finished, and the job is ready
for the next phase of construction.
