When given complex or custom plans, it is very difficult to lay out the foundation with accuracy using typical tape measures and string lines. If your foundation is not laid out correctly, you will have problems at the framing stage and throughout the rest of the home’s construction.
Many of you might know that Herbert Construction is the only poured wall contractor in Georgia to use a Robotic Total Station when laying out foundations. The use of this equipment guarantees that our foundations are square and level every time. We were the first residential concrete contractor in the nation to own a Robotic Total Station, and have used them for many years with excellent success.
We recently invested in a newer, more efficient Robotic Total Station. Plans can now be sent directly from the office to the robot on the jobsite. Also, revisions can be made in the field. This makes laying out our footings a lot faster and more accurate than ever before.
This upgrade in equipment keeps us on the cutting edge of what poured wall contractors are capable of doing. With our new system, a really complicated project can be laid out in two to three hours, instead of two days with tape measures and batter boards.
“Herbert Construction’s unique systems – like their robotic total stations – were critical on the steep slope of my lot. When dealing with this sort of topography, they are the only company I would use.”— Greg Spencer, Building Knowledge
