Building in Austin? Start With a Solid Foundation
Before your first wall goes up, your foundation needs to be right. That starts with a design that matches the unique conditions of your property—especially here in Austin, Texas.
Unlike generic foundation plans used in other parts of the country, Austin foundation design must account for soil movement. That’s where a licensed structural engineer in Austin makes all the difference.We design every foundation based on:
- A professional geotechnical (soils) report
- The owner’s performance expectations
- The builder’s construction budget
Our Process: Smarter, Site-Specific Design for Homes, Additions, and Patios
Soil Testing – We coordinate with a licensed geotechnical engineer to perform a soil investigation at your exact building site.
Collaborative Design – Using the soil report, we work with your team to develop the best foundation design for your site and budget.
Balanced Performance & Cost – Our goal is to design a foundation that performs well over time without being overbuilt or overpriced.
