Garage and Shop Foundations
A shop or garage slab has to take weight, tools and the occasional heavy vehicle. We build foundations with thickened edges, steel and a flat, hard finish, and we plan anchor bolts, drains and floor slope for the building and how you plan to use it.

Common questions
How thick should a shop slab be?
It depends on the loads. Many shop slabs are four to six inches thick with steel. We size it to your use.
Can the floor be sloped to a drain?
Yes. We build in the slope and the drain location with you before the pour.
