Residential contractor matching
Find a Concrete Foundation Contractor
Find a concrete foundation contractor for a new home, addition, or garage by describing your plans and requesting a local match through Contractors for Concrete.
For new foundations and additions. Existing foundation damage needs a repair assessment.
Why use Contractors for Concrete?
Contractors for Concrete helps you describe the foundation work and identify questions about excavation, design, and approvals before requesting a local match. The proposal questions below help you distinguish included work from exclusions and estimated amounts for work that is not yet defined.
What will my project brief include?
Your concrete foundation brief includes your project details, undecided items and questions to ask each contractor.
Download a free text copy to share with any contractor you choose. No contact details are needed.
Example brief
Foundation for a home addition

Questions to take to a contractor
- Who supplies the foundation design and resolves missing details?
- Does the price include excavation, hauling, preparation of the ground and base, and filling around the completed foundation?
- Who handles utilities, drainage, waterproofing, and connections to the existing building?
Illustrative request, not a completed project or quote. Your answers replace this example; a contractor confirms the work and price.
What concrete foundation projects can you request?
You can request a concrete contractor for a new home foundation, an addition, a garage foundation, or the supporting concrete shown in your building plans.
This page focuses on new foundation construction. Existing foundation movement or structural damage needs a repair assessment, not a quote for a new pour. Tell us which type of work you need when submitting a request.
What should you include in your concrete foundation request?
Include the building or addition, available plans, site information, and responsibility for design and approvals in your foundation request.
- Identify the building or addition and whether plans are available.
- Describe the intended foundation type, or state that it has not been selected.
- Note access, excavation, demolition, and any site or soil reports.
- Identify who is coordinating design, permits, and inspections.
Use the scope builder to prepare a written brief you can also share with contractors you contact yourself.
What should you ask before choosing a contractor?
Before choosing a concrete foundation contractor, ask what work the price includes, how the project will be handled and what remains your responsibility. Use the same questions for each proposal, and confirm experience, licensing where required, insurance and references.

How does contractor matching work?
Contractors for Concrete checks your project type and ZIP code against the specialties and service areas contractors have submitted. Requests are assigned to one contractor at a time, subject to availability. We help with matching; we do not perform the concrete work.
- 01
Describe your project
Provide the work, location, timing, and contact details in the request form.
- 02
Check matching availability
Your submission result shows whether a potential match was found or the request needs further attention. An unmatched request is not a confirmed appointment.
- 03
Discuss and decide
Confirm that the contractor handles your specific work, review their proposal, and decide whether to hire.
Can I start without final foundation plans?
You can start a foundation contractor request without final plans. State what is undecided so an initial discussion is not mistaken for a firm construction quote.
Will you design or build my foundation?
Contractors for Concrete helps you prepare and request a contractor match. Your designer and chosen contractor are responsible for the project design and construction within their agreed roles.
What can help you prepare before hiring?
The foundation cost guide and scope builder can help you prepare a budget and a written description of the work.
