Foundation Services
Whether it’s a new foundation for a ground-up build, a foundation repair, or a structural upgrade tied to renovation, KOM Construction approaches foundations the way a design-build firm should: engineer-coordinated, inspection-ready, and sequenced for the scopes that follow.
Why Choose Us
Here at KOM Construction, we approach foundation work as the structural baseline of the entire project, planned for what comes next, not just what gets poured today.
Inspection-ready, detail-driven work
Layout accuracy, rebar placement, embeds, anchors, and tolerances are handled with discipline so inspections move forward without rework or delays.
Site and soil realities accounted for early
Our crew are all dedicated members of our team and have the expertise and experience to efficiently complete your project with tight deadlines.
Residential Foundations
Typical residential foundation scopes include:
Structural upgrades tied to remodels and additions where existing foundations need reinforcement or modification
Commercial Foundations
Common commercial foundation scopes include:
Foundation repair planning when settlement, slab movement, or cracking impacts operations
What We Do
Foundation Services We Provide
KOM Construction provides professional foundation services for residential and commercial projects across multiple U.S. markets. This includes permitting, engineering coordination, safety planning, excavation, concrete work, and final inspection, delivering stable, code compliant foundations ready for vertical construction.
1. Residential & Commercial New Foundations
Complete foundation construction based on approved plans, including excavation coordination, formwork, rebar placement, embed and anchor alignment, concrete placement, and inspection readiness.
2. Slabs, Flatwork, and Structural Pads
Slab-on-grade work for homes, garages, ADUs, and commercial spaces – plus structural pads where equipment loads or use cases demand it.
3. Structural Foundation Modifications for Renovations and Additions
When layouts change, loads change. We handle foundation tie-ins, reinforcement coordination, and structural adjustments so additions and remodels don’t create future settlement or cracking issues.
4. Waterproofing and Drainage Interfaces
Foundations don’t fail only from load – water is a major driver. We coordinate grading and drainage interfaces and waterproofing scope per project requirements so water doesn’t undermine performance long-term.
5. Commercial Repair Planning and Execution Support
For commercial assets, repairs must be planned around operations, access, safety, and documentation. We help structure repair scopes so downtime and surprises stay controlled.
Our Process
KOM Inspection-Ready Foundation Process
Built for compliance. Executed with control. Handed off trade-ready.
1. Plan Review and Scope Confirmation
We review drawings, structural notes, and site constraints. If engineering or soils information is required, we align it early because the foundation phase is where risk is either controlled or compounded.
2. Site Prep and Layout Control
We verify layout benchmarks and sequencing so excavation, forms, and rebar don’t drift. Small errors here create expensive framing and finish problems later.
3. Reinforcement and Embed Coordination
Anchor bolts, hold-downs, embeds, and sleeves are coordinated and verified before placement. This is where projects often fail inspections when details are not managed proactively.
4. Pour Execution and Quality Control
Concrete placement is planned around access, schedule, and finish requirements. We keep staging clean and controlled because it affects both quality and inspector experience.
5. Inspection Readiness and Documentation
We keep foundation scope aligned to the inspection sequence and required documentation. Commercial projects may include more formal inspection and testing requirements depending on project scope and jurisdiction.
6. Trade-Ready Handover
You get a foundation that is ready for framing or steel, MEP rough-ins, and downstream scopes without rework-driven delays.
Yes. We build new foundations for residential and commercial projects, and we also support foundation repair scopes when movement, cracking, or settlement issues are present. The first step is confirming the correct scope, then sequencing it cleanly with inspections and downstream trades.
Common warning signs include widening cracks, stair-step cracking in masonry, sticking doors or windows, uneven floors, and visible separation around finishes. Drainage issues around the perimeter can also contribute to long-term movement.
Approved plans, a clear scope boundary, and a sequencing plan. Depending on the project and location, you may also need engineering coordination and inspection and testing alignment for structural elements.
Yes. KOM operates across California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Washington, with requirements handled depending on project location.
By treating the foundation phase as a coordination phase: layout control, embed and anchor accuracy, inspection readiness, and a clean handover that doesn’t block framing or steel and MEP.
