How Lee Contracting Engineers Commercial Foundation Plans

When constructing a new facility, choosing the right industrial or commercial foundation contractor is one of the most important decisions you can make. Your building, equipment and team rely on a strong and precisely built foundation to achieve your production and safety goals. In this article, we’ll discuss how the approach Lee Contracting takes to industrial and commercial foundations stands out among the rest to ensure your project is executed on time, on budget and worry-free.

Built-in Value Engineering

Every project starts with a comprehensive review of the project’s parameters and requirements, consulting closely with your teams and ours. After we have a thorough understanding of your needs and restrictions, we then take a deeper dive through the lens of value engineering to identify opportunities for cost savings without sacrificing quality. This process helps us eliminate unnecessary expenses so every dollar in your budget contributes to the success of your project.

This is not something that is performed on request – it’s how Lee Contracting approaches every project. We understand budget constraints are a constant concern, and we work with you to find economical solutions. With 35+ years of experience as industrial and commercial foundation contractors, our team is well-versed in the numerous options available to ensure a foundation that’s not only structurally sound, but also cost-effective.

Customized Solutions for Every Project

While foundations may seem straightforward, no two industrial or commercial foundation projects are the same. Variables such as soil conditions, load capacity and climate help determine the foundation type and plan that’s right for your project. Lee Contracting helps you navigate the options and offers customized solutions designed to meet your specific needs.

Our extensive experience in specialized foundation work – including stamping press pits, injection mold machine foundations and floor slab replacements – means we have the skills and expertise to design custom plans for a diverse array of industrial or commercial requirements.

The Power of 3D Modeling

Our 3D modeling tools give us – and you – an edge when planning and designing industrial and commercial foundation projects. Using a CAD-based program, our engineers create detailed digital 3D models, allowing us to visualize the entire project before breaking ground.

Not all industrial and commercial foundation contractors offer 3D modeling, but it offers several advantages, including:

  • Early Issue Detection: With 3D visualizations of the project, we can catch potential issues before the work begins. This enables us to address challenges proactively and avoid costly errors.
  • Accurate Quoting: Our 3D modeling programs deliver astonishing precision with a low probability of error, so you receive accurate quotes and outlines of the exact materials and work required for the job.
  • Transparency: The 3D model can be easily exported to a PDF, giving you a 360-degree view of the project. This transparency helps you understand and approve the plan with confidence.

Ensuring Compliance and Precision

Here at Lee Contracting, we don’t just build foundations – we engineer them meticulously to meet or exceed industry standards. Our team is trained on the latest regulations so every aspect of your foundation project complies with the appropriate codes and standards.

Our in-house team of skilled tradespeople, vast stock of materials and company-owned equipment means we are always in control of every phase of the project. This 360-degree oversight simplifies execution and enables us to stay on budget and within the timeline.

By combining value engineering, customized approaches, and advanced technologies, the experts at Lee Contracting optimize your industrial or commercial foundation project from start to finish.
