Most builders pour the concrete slab before the building goes up. That’s the typical way it’s done in residential construction. But when it comes to shops, barns, and garages, we do things a little differently.

We build the entire structure first, then pour the slab inside the finished building. Why? Because it gives you a way better result.
Your slab is poured in a controlled environment—protected from wind, rain, and extreme temperatures.
If it’s cold outside, the enclosed space helps keep the concrete warm for better curing.
If it’s scorching hot, the building keeps the sun off, reducing the risk of cracking or rapid drying.
No unexpected downpours or weather delays ruining your finish.
Concrete is finicky, and small environmental factors can make a big difference. By pouring after the building is up, we ensure your slab turns out smoother, stronger, and more durable.
Here’s how we pour slab the smart way:
We build your entire structure first.
We pour the slab inside, in a protected environment.
You get a perfect floor with fewer issues.
