Concrete Foundations and Footings in Brant County
Footings and poured walls for new homes, additions and shops, formed to the drawings and pumped in where a truck cannot reach.

The details
The foundation is the one part of a building you never get to redo. We form and pour footings and foundation walls for new homes, additions, garages and shop buildings across Brant County.
Footings first
Footings spread the weight of the building into the ground. We form them to the width and depth on your drawings, place the rebar and wait for the building inspector to sign off before any concrete arrives. A footing in the wrong place or at the wrong height causes trouble all the way up, so we check the layout and elevations before the inspector comes.
Poured walls
Once the footings have set, we stand the wall forms, place the steel and pour. Openings for windows, beams and pipes are set in the forms ahead of time, not cut in later. We keep the pour moving so each wall goes in as one piece. After the walls cure, the forms come off, and once the walls are braced or the floor framing is on, the foundation is ready for backfill.
Tight lots and over-the-house pours
Not every site lets a concrete truck back up to the hole. In 2025 we poured a foundation on a tight lot by pumping the concrete right over the existing house. The pump’s boom carried each load over the roof to the forms out back. Infill lots and rear additions often need this, and we plan for it from the first site visit.
Foundations behind existing homes
The photo on our February 2025 launch post shows foundation walls poured behind an older brick house. Pouring next to a house that is already standing means working close to its foundation, keeping the trucks and pump clear of it, and protecting the yard while we work.
Dig and pour from one team
Our sister company digs and backfills, so the excavation, footings and walls run on one schedule. We also pour retaining walls and other structural concrete when the site calls for it.
Common questions
Do footings need an inspection before you pour?
Yes. In the County of Brant and the City of Brantford, the building inspector checks the footing forms and steel before concrete goes in. We book the pour around that inspection so nothing goes in early.
What if the concrete truck cannot reach the back of my lot?
We bring in a concrete pump. Its boom reaches over a house or garage and places concrete right where the forms are. We did exactly that on a tight lot in 2025.
How long does it take from the dig to backfill?
It depends on the size of the building and the weather. The order is always the same, with the dig, footing forms, inspection, footings, wall forms, walls, curing and then backfill. Having both our companies on the job keeps the gaps between steps short.
