QualityPouredWalls - CAD design & layout

While using up to date technology such as Robotic Total stations and CAD, we are able to exceed expectations of either Builders or Homeowners with custom poured walls and foundations. Using the Total station to ensure accuracy into the plans along side CAD to provide a reliable free estimate as well as an easy to use tool for the field crew to use .

Layout and total station

Once the prints are handed to our total station operator, he then inputs each outside corner of the foundation into the data collector. Each corner will represent a point on plotting graph. Each point gets connected with a line to insure that the foundation plan has closed out and is accurate to the print. Our total station operator will then head to the jobsite and locate to points/hubs that either the surveyor left or that we will need to create ourselves. After setting up the total station and making sure it is completely level, the operator will then go to each reference hubs to locate the total station on our data collectors plot graph. After we make sure the hubs are with in tolerance with what we have inputted into the data collector it is then time to start staking out each point/corner. By staking out each corner our footer crew can form the footer exactly to spec/topo to ensure your foundation is in the correct location and can minimize the need for extra concrete/wider footing. Not only do we use this for the footer but also after the footer is poured. Our operator will go back out and reshoot each corner and drill a flushed mount nail to each corner. This makes it easier wall crew to then snap lines and place each aluminum form on that chalk line. This allows wall crew to build the entire foundation while also keeping it squared to the footer.

CAD

Our in house CAD engineer takes your foundation plan and turns it into a color coded easy to follow panelized print to work with our Western Forms aluminum form system. Not only is it a great tool for our field crews but also a great tool to get precise quantity take offs for each build. Our CAD engineer uses this program to give you a fast and accurate quote/Bid and also insures that we NEVER bring less than what's needed. It doesn't just stop at 2d print drawing and take off information either. Our CAD engineer can also draw excavation blow ups and combine it with our total station to be able to stake out a dig for any excavator. We can draw out plot plans as well for those who are building your home yourself. Our program also allows us to show you a 3d model of how your basement/foundation will look before we start.
