Most people driving by a construction site never think twice about the foundation work. They see the finished barn or shop and figure someone just cleared some space and started building. But here's the truth - what happens before that first wall goes up determines whether your project succeeds or becomes a headache.

Not every barn pad needs to be built like it's supporting a fleet of concrete trucks. That's the reality we're working with today out in Mount Perry, where we're cutting in a 60 by 50 foundation for a livestock barn. And because we know exactly how this barn will be used, we can build it the right way without over-engi

Out in Columbus this morning, we're tackling what might look like minor issues to most homeowners. A sunken spot where an AC unit used to sit. Some concrete that's tilted the wrong way. The kind of things you walk past every day without thinking twice about them.

Take our recent project in New Albany - the customer wanted a nice yard but didn't need the Taj Mahal of final grades. And you know what? That's perfectly fine.

When you're looking at 40,000 square feet of construction-packed soil, you know you've got your work cut out for you.
