Foundation installation in Anaheim CA - built to your plans and ready for framing
Planning a new home, addition or back unit and need the concrete under it done right? We pour it to your plans and your soil.
What does it take to put in a new foundation in Anaheim?
Foundation installation in Anaheim means forming, pouring and finishing the concrete your building sits on, built to your architect's or engineer's plans so the walls above start on flat, solid ground.
Most foundation calls I get are for something new, a house, an addition or a unit out back, and the plans are either done or close. The price moves with the size of the slab, the slab type on your plans, how much dirt has to come out and get packed back as a base, and how much steel and plumbing goes in before the pour. The schedule turns mostly on getting plans drawn and through the city, not on the pour itself, so I measure on site and give you a clear price for your lot. If all you need is support for a wall or a post, that's a concrete footings job instead.
Why owners pick us for foundation installation
I'd rather give you a straight answer up front than a vague one that costs you later, and I put most of my attention on the ground and forms nobody sees once the concrete's down.
I come out myself
I'm the one who looks at your lot and prices it, and I work beside our crew on the build and the pour.
Our own business since 2023
I left a desk job, learned concrete on a local crew, then started this business in 2023.
Licensed and insured in California
We're licensed and insured. The state board has a concrete class for forming and pouring work, so ask every bidder which license they hold.
Built to your designer's plans
We work from your architect's or engineer's drawings and help you line them up early, before anything gets priced or poured.
Your satisfaction, guaranteed
That's our promise on every job, and I hold the hidden work, the base and the forms, to it as much as the top.
Foundation installation options we'll talk through
Your engineer's plans and your lot's soil usually decide the foundation, so I go over the choices with you and your designer before we price anything.

Why owners trust AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors for foundation installation
The part I care about most is the part you won't see once we pour. We dig down to firm subgrade, the ground the slab rests on, pack the base so it won't settle with loose dirt, and set forms to the lines on your plans. If the budget's tight, I'll tell you to cut somewhere else, because a base can't be redone later.
We set the rebar and pour in the cooler part of the day, so the top doesn't come out weak and dusty. Then the slab cures, a wait while it gains strength, before the framing goes up. If you also need a lot poured on the same property, ask about concrete parking lot building.
Foundation questions we hear
How much does a slab foundation cost in Anaheim?
A basic concrete slab foundation usually runs about $4,000 to $14,000 per job across the US, and that's a national figure for a simple slab, not our price. In Anaheim, the size, the slab type on your plans, the digging and base work, and the steel and plumbing set the real number, so I measure on site and give you a clear price.
Who draws the plans for a new foundation in Anaheim?
A qualified person draws them, and in Anaheim that means a California licensed architect or engineer for most kinds of projects. City staff doesn't prepare plans, so put your designer in the budget from the start, and we'll build to what they draw.
What is the best foundation for soil that swells and shrinks?
A post-tensioned slab is worth asking about, since the post-tensioning industry's own group calls it a cost-efficient, high-performance choice for house foundations on that kind of soil. Ask your engineer how your lot's own soil shapes the design, and compare bids on the same slab type so the prices line up.
How do I know if my Anaheim lot needs a geotechnical study?
If your lot sits in a state seismic hazard zone, state law calls for a geotechnical study, a report on the ground, before most homes and other buildings people live in can get a permit. If you're not sure, the state advises checking with the local agency, so ask the city's Building Division early, because a study can call for fixes that change the foundation design.
How do I plan plumbing under a slab foundation?
Plan every run before the pour, because plumbing set in a slab stays there for the life of the building. Keep anything you might need to reach later out of the slab, and we'll go over the runs with you against the plans before any concrete goes in.
How do I keep water from damaging a new foundation?
Get rainwater off the lot fast. Expansive-soil guidance from one Southern California building department ranks good drainage after a rain as the single most important factor, so we check where the water runs and make sure the finished ground sends it away from the slab.
What happens when you call about a foundation in Anaheim?
Foundations run on plans and permits, so I fit the work around where your drawings stand and tell you what we need from you at each step.
Call or send the form
Call (657) 347-3028 or send the form with your address and what you're building, and we'll set a time for me to come out.
I walk the lot
I look at the ground and where the water drains, measure, and go over your plans and where the plumbing will run.

You get a clear price for the work. If the city wants a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork with the city's office before we start.
