Why FPI Construction

Done Right the First Time

Poured to Code

Footings sized to the load, walls reinforced to plan, and every pour set below the frost line for lasting stability.

Structural Experience

50+ years of combined trade experience across residential and commercial foundations, from single footings to full basements.

Water Stays Out

Proper drainage, damp-proofing, and waterproofing keep basements and crawlspaces dry season after season.

Our Process

How the Job Gets Done

01

Layout & Excavation

We stake the footprint, excavate to depth, and prepare a level, compacted base below the frost line.

02

Footings & Forming

We form and pour footings, then set wall forms and place brick ledges and steps as the plan requires.

03

Reinforce & Pour Walls

We tie rebar, set anchor bolts, and pour foundation, frost, and retaining walls to the specified height and thickness.

04

Strip, Waterproof & Backfill

We strip forms, apply waterproofing and drainage where called for, and prepare the site for backfill.
