Footings are a key element in providing your structure with the support it needs to begin being built. Placed underneath walls, footings are where the strength of a structure starts.
A structure needs to be built on something strong. A concrete pad is the perfect way to support a shed, garage, hot tub, or anything that requires a long term solution for strength.
Backfilling, compacting and insulating are key components to a successful project. Here you can see the walls have been poured and insulated, while the inside future pad is being compacted in lifts to the appropriate grade.
After your footers are poured and your walls are in, insulation, etc you can pour your floating slab. This slab sits between the walls and is the future foundation for the floor of your house.
