Herbert Construction

Concrete Foundation Contractor

Elevated Slabs & Podium Decks

As land prices rise, density becomes increasingly important. A growing trend in Atlanta is the creation of Loft-type projects – Atlanta structural concrete.  These are two to four story wood frame multi-family buildings on an elevated concrete slab, with parking directly below the elevated slab.

Once the elevated concrete slab structure is constructed, the wood frame structure above is very much like typical townhome construction.

This is a great way for developers and homebuilders that are accustomed to building townhomes to move into the higher density areas and markets. In some locations, this type of product with parking below the units can achieve two or more times the density of a traditional townhome with adjacent parking.

Herbert Construction Co., certified foundation contractors can perform all of the concrete work associated with these elevated concrete slab projects. This includes the concrete footings, perimeter walls, parking area columns and pads, parking area slab-on-grade, and elevated structural or post-tensioned slab.

We can also refer Architectural and Engineering firms that have experience with these types of projects.

    Herbert Construction is extremely professional. I’ve worked with a lot of foundation companies and you guys are different. I wasn’t expecting your level of expertise from a subcontractor and was surprised.

    I was impressed with Herbert because in my experience with a lot of subcontractors, you have to stay on top of them to get things done. This experience was the opposite of that, and in the end I came in slightly under budget. I will definitely be referring Herbert Construction to other builders.

    Herbert Construction’s unique systems – like their robotic total stations – were critical on the steep slope of my lot. When dealing with this sort of topography, they are the only company I would use.

    The best thing about Herbert Construction Company is how they layout and check the walls multiple times to make sure my framers aren’t going to have a problem.

    Herbert Construction creates value for us with their talent, knowledge, capabilities, and timely performance. They are in the critical path of the job start. That phase is perhaps the most important phase in home building; because, once the foundation is in, we have overcome a lot of the more difficult issues in the building cycle.

    When you put a foundation in, and your company’s name is on that house you are building, you need to know the foundation is put in correctly. We get that peace of mind with Herbert Construction Company.
