Grading, Site Prep & Concrete Foundations Engineered for Steel.

A steel building can last 50+ years — but only if it sits on properly prepared ground and a precision-engineered foundation. At CalVet Construction, we self-perform grading, site preparation, and concrete work as a single coordinated service. No handoffs, no finger-pointing, no schedule gaps between trades.

Our site work crews handle clearing, demolition, cut and fill, rough and finish grading, compaction, drainage, and pad preparation to engineered specs. Then our concrete crews step in with the right foundation system: monolithic slabs for standard applications, grade beams for expansive soils, pier-and-beam for challenging terrain, and post-tension systems for large commercial buildings.

We've graded sites and poured thousands of yards of concrete across California. We understand the unique challenges of this region — from the expansive clays of the Central Valley to the sandy soils of the coast and the seismic-prone foothills. This local expertise means your pad and your foundation are designed for where you live, not just what you're building.

Every CalVet project includes proper site preparation, compaction testing, rebar reinforcement, vapor barriers, and anchor bolt placement that aligns precisely with your steel building's engineering plans. Site work, foundation, and superstructure are coordinated as one integrated system — because they should never be designed in isolation.
