How much do pre-construction piers cost, and is it worth the investment?

Cost varies by project size, soil depth, and load requirements—but it’s a smart investment compared to future repair costs. We’ll give you a clear, no-surprises estimate.

Will adding piers delay my construction timeline?

Not at all—installation is quick, clean, and done before the concrete pour. That means zero wait time for curing and no schedule disruptions.

What's the difference between helical piers and push piers for new construction?

Helical piers are screw-in anchors with immediate load capacity, ideal for a wide range of soils. Push piers rely on driven load and soil resistance—both work, but CHANCE® helical systems offer faster installs, less noise, and torque-monitored predictability.

Do pre-construction piers work in all soil types found in Southern Oregon?

Yes. From clay-rich Medford ground to the variable soils of Grants Pass, we select pier styles and depths based on real soil data—ensuring performance no matter what’s beneath.

What kind of warranty do you provide on pre-construction pier work?

Our CHANCE® helical pier systems come with a 30-year, transferrable product warranty. Elite Foundation Repair also backs its workmanship—so you’re covered now and later.

Pre-Construction Piers in Southern Oregon

Build Right From the Start with Pre-Construction Piers in Southern Oregon

Here's the straight truth: it's a whole lot easier to build a foundation right the first time than to fix it later. Pre-construction piers are like insurance for your new home or building project—they provide the deep, stable support your structure needs from day one. When you choose Elite Foundation Repair for your pre-construction pier installation, you're getting peace of mind that your investment will stay solid for decades to come. We install these pier systems before your foundation is poured, creating a rock-solid base that won't settle, shift, or cause problems down the road. Think of it as doing the job right the first time, so you never have to worry about foundation repairs later.

Advanced Pier Systems Designed for Rogue Valley Soil

Successful foundations begin with proper soil investigation. Before any drilling or driving starts, we commission a geotechnical or structural engineer (or a simple, locally‑tailored test pit) to pinpoint your site’s soil and drainage characteristics .

With that data in hand, we install CHANCE® helical piers—steel shafts with spiral flights that twist deep into stable soil layers—often 20–30 feet or more below the surface. Torque-monitoring during installation confirms each pier’s exact load-bearing capacity, so your foundation is built on predictability and precision .

We tailor the arrangement and spacing to your home’s weight and layout so uplift, settlement, and uneven loads are solved before they start.

The Smart Investment That Pays for Itself

Look, we get it—adding pre-construction piers to your building project feels like an extra expense. But here's what we've learned after years in this business: foundation problems don't get cheaper with time. A small investment in piers now can save you tens of thousands in foundation repairs later. We've helped countless homeowners who wished they'd installed piers during construction instead of dealing with settlement issues years down the road.

How the Process Works

We keep things simple. First, we review your building plans and conduct a soil analysis to determine the best pier system for your site. Then we calculate the load requirements and create a custom pier layout. Installation happens before your foundation is poured—we drive the piers to stable soil or bedrock, test the load capacity, and provide you with complete documentation. Your concrete contractor then pours the foundation directly onto our pier caps, creating a unified support system that's stronger than either component alone.
