Concrete Foundation Contractor

Safe Room in Basement

Most people don’t realize that a safe room can be constructed within a new basement foundation for a very reasonable cost.  This is a four-sided concrete room integrated into a basement wall and with a concrete top, or ceiling.  It becomes a fireproof and disaster-proof room.  Safe rooms can protect your family and valuables against tornadoes, wild fires, house fires and burglars.  Architects and Homebuilders can easily design and build safe rooms into their homes to protect their clients.  Homebuilders can offer safe rooms as options on their homes with basement foundations.

Tornado Shelter    Panic Room    Storm Shelter

Safe Rooms are multipurpose rooms that can be used for many things.  A few examples include:

  • Wine Cellar and Wine Tasting Room
  • Food Storage Room
  • Gun Display Room
  • Cigar Room (humidor)
  • Panic Room (a place to go during a home invasion)

 

Safe Rooms can store your family’s valuables, such as:

  • Important Paper Documents
  • Antiques
  • Guns and ammunition
  • Jewelry
  • Photographs
  • Electronic Storage Devices (computer backups)

    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.
