The concrete under a new room
A room addition starts at the ground. Before walls go up, the addition needs footings around its edge and a slab for the new floor. That concrete is what everything else is built on, so it has to be the right size, in the right spot and ready for the framing.
Because the addition connects to the existing house, the new concrete has to line up with what is already there. The plans for the addition set the size and shape, and the concrete follows those plans.
Working with your project
If you are adding a bedroom, a family room or another space to your home in North Jacksonville, the concrete is usually one of the first steps once plans and any permits are in place. If a builder or contractor is running the project, the concrete needs to fit their schedule.
When you call, it helps to have the plans or at least the size of the addition, the address and an idea of when the rest of the work is set to start. Call or send a message and we'll talk through the concrete for your addition.
Common questions
Do I need plans before calling? Plans help, since they set the size and shape of the slab and footings. If you are still early in the project, call anyway and talk through what the concrete will need.
What does it cost? Every job is different. Price depends on the size of the area, the location, how the site needs to be prepared and whether old concrete has to be removed first, so the best way to get a number is to call and describe the job.
How soon can the work start? That depends on the time of year, the weather and the schedule when you call. Ask about timing for your job when you reach out.
