What's involved in pouring concrete footings in Beverly Hills?

Concrete footings are the concrete base that an addition, a wall or a set of steps sits on. On a footing job in Beverly Hills, we dig the trench, set forms where the ground needs them, place the rebar, which is the steel that runs inside the footing, and then pour and finish the concrete.

Most footing calls start with a plan for an addition, a garden wall or new steps, and the footing is the one part nobody sees once the job's done. The price moves with the size of the project, how deep the footings go and what your site is like, and the schedule usually turns on the city's paperwork and the inspection of the steel more than on the pour itself. If it's a whole new house rather than an addition, our foundation installation page covers that work.

Why owners hire us for Beverly Hills footings

You'll deal with me from the first visit, get a plain explanation of what goes under the concrete, and have a crew that cares most about the parts you can't see.

  • I come out myself

    I look at the job and write the estimate, and I run the job on site while our crew does the work.

  • Building here since 2021

    I started this business in Beverly Hills in 2021, after learning the trade as a helper on a small concrete crew.

  • Licensed and insured

    We're licensed and insured, so we can take on footing work that needs a permit and a city inspection.

  • The reason behind each step

    I explain why each step is there, so you can weigh the options on your estimate knowing what each one changes.

  • A guarantee on the work

    Every footing job we pour is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, from the first trench to the cleanup.

How we build concrete footings

The right footing depends on what it holds up and what your drawings call for, so I start from your plans and the lot, not from a standard size.

  • Strip footings for additions and walls

    This is a continuous concrete base under a wall line, and it's what most additions and garden walls sit on. Once concrete covers the steel, nobody gets another look at it, so we don't pour until the steel has been checked against the drawings. If your project has structural drawings, bring them to the first visit and we'll build from them.

  • Footings next to existing concrete

    When a new footing has to run beside an old slab or a driveway, we can open a clean path with concrete cutting instead of breaking out more than the job needs. That keeps the patching small and leaves the concrete you're keeping in one piece.

  • When the old foundation has settled

    If you're seeing cracks or sinking in an existing foundation, new footings beside it may not be the answer. I'll look at it with you, and foundation raising may be the better place to start.

What happens when you call us about footings in Beverly Hills?

We plan footing work around your drawings, your permit and the inspection of the steel, so you know what's waiting on whom before anyone digs.

  1. Call or send a message

    Call us or send the form with what you're building, and we get back to you to set up a time to look at the job.

  2. I look at the job

    I come out, walk the site with you, look over any drawings you have and answer your questions about what goes under the concrete.

  3. Your written estimate

    My written estimate lays out your options and what's included. For a hillside addition, the city's guide lists 7 weeks of plan check, or 4 expedited.

Footing questions we hear most

How much do concrete footings cost per linear foot?

Across the US, residential strip footings usually cost about $5 to $18 per linear foot, and that covers the concrete, the labor and digging the trench. That's a national figure, so your written estimate after the site visit is where you'll see what your own job includes.

Do I need a licensed contractor to pour footings in Beverly Hills?

Yes, Beverly Hills requires a licensed contractor on any project worth $1,000 or more, and the city checks contractors' licenses. Under state rules, even a job under $1,000 needs a license if it needs a permit of any kind, and the state license board's concrete contractor class is the one that covers forming, pouring, placing and finishing concrete.

Can I build my own concrete footings in Beverly Hills?

Beverly Hills allows owner-builder work only on owner-occupied single-family homes and owner-occupied condos, and it marks that work as interior only. If you don't live in the home, plan on hiring the work out.

What gets inspected before concrete footings are poured?

An inspection before the pour compares the rebar's size, grade and spacing, the laps where bars overlap and the supports under them with the structural drawings. We set the pour date around that check.

What is the best way to keep rebar from sinking into the dirt in a footing trench?

Rest it on something solid, like a brick or a precast block, which is what rebar inspection guides call for in a trench with earth sides. That keeps the weight of the wet concrete from pressing the steel down into the soil.

How do I find out which reports my footing job in Beverly Hills will produce?

Ask at the start, because the city accepts deputy inspector reports on rebar, soil compaction reports, soils reports and structural observations of footings, and it helps to know early which ones apply to you. If one of those has to come from you, like a soils report, we tell you early.

Concrete footings in Beverly Hills and the cities nearby

Beverly Hills requires building permits for structural alterations, improvements, general repairs, new construction and demolition, and its list names that work rather than footings, so the city's Building & Safety office is the place to ask what your job needs. We find out what that office asks for at your address and take care of the permit paperwork when it's needed. If your home sits on a hillside, check your lot early on the city's Landslide and Liquefaction Zones Map. State seismic hazard rules exempt single-family frame homes up to two stories that aren't part of a development of four or more units, but local agencies can be stricter than the state, so the city's rules still apply to your home.

Around here we pour a lot of footings for additions, garden walls and steps on older homes, and the work stays the same in the next city over, with a different office checking it. We're based in Beverly Hills and do this work across many of the cities around it, including West Hollywood and Culver City.
