Concrete Foundations in Hollywood, FL
Building Structures That Last from the Ground Up
At King Concrete Hollywood, we install concrete foundations that provide the stable base every structure needs. Whether you’re building a home, adding a room, or constructing a commercial building, your foundation determines how well the structure performs for decades to come.
We’ve poured foundations across Hollywood and Broward County for residential and commercial projects. Each one engineered for South Florida’s unique challenges—sandy soil, high water tables, and hurricane-force winds. We know what works here because we’ve built hundreds of foundations that prove it.
A foundation isn’t visible once construction is complete, but it’s the most critical element of any structure. We get it right the first time because there’s no second chance once the building goes up.

What is a Concrete Foundation?
A concrete foundation is the structural base that transfers a building’s weight to the ground. It provides a level platform for construction and anchors the structure against settling, shifting, and environmental forces.
In South Florida, foundations must handle specific challenges: sandy soils that can shift, high water tables that create hydrostatic pressure, and wind loads from hurricanes. We design and install foundations that address all of these factors.
The foundation is engineering, not guesswork. We calculate loads, assess soil conditions, and build according to Florida building codes. Your structure’s stability depends on it.
Concrete Foundation Design: Engineered Solutions
Every foundation gets designed based on specific project requirements:
Soil Analysis: We evaluate soil bearing capacity and adjust foundation design accordingly. Sandy soils common in Hollywood require specific approaches.
Load Calculations: We determine the weight the foundation must support—structure, contents, live loads, and environmental forces.
Reinforcement Design: We specify rebar size, spacing, and placement to handle loads and prevent cracking.
Drainage Planning: We design proper grading and drainage to move water away from the foundation.
Code Compliance: We ensure designs meet Florida Building Code requirements for our region.
Foundation design isn’t optional—it’s required for permit approval and structural safety. We work with engineers when projects require stamped plans.
Concrete Foundation Installation Process
Here’s how we install your foundation:
- Site Preparation: We clear vegetation, level the area, and establish proper grades for drainage.
- Excavation: We dig to required depth, accounting for soil conditions and foundation design.
- Soil Compaction: We compact the subgrade to prevent settling and create a stable base.
- Base Installation: We place and compact crushed stone or gravel as specified.
- Moisture Barrier: We install plastic sheeting to prevent ground moisture from wicking into concrete.
- Forming: We build forms to contain the concrete and create the specified foundation shape.
- Utility Integration: We coordinate with plumbers and electricians to install systems before the pour.
- Reinforcement Placement: We install rebar according to engineered specifications—proper spacing, overlap, and support.
- Inspection: We schedule required inspections before concrete placement.
- Concrete Pour: We place high-quality concrete, vibrate to eliminate air pockets, and work efficiently for proper consolidation.
- Finishing: We level and finish the surface according to project requirements.
Concrete Footings: Foundation Essentials
Footings are enlarged base sections that distribute concentrated loads to the soil. We install concrete footings for:
Column Footings: Square or rectangular pads under posts and columns, sized for the load each supports.
Continuous Footings: Long strip footings under load-bearing walls, providing continuous support.
Grade Beams: Reinforced beams that span between footings, tying the foundation together.
Proper footing design prevents differential settling—when one part of a structure settles more than another. We size footings based on soil bearing capacity and structural loads.
