New Foundation Construction Winnipeg

Winnipeg’s New Foundation Construction Specialists

We understand the complexities of Manitoba’s soil, climate, and building codes. Our team works with homebuilders, general contractors, and property owners to design and construct strong, reliable foundations from the ground up.

We build new foundations for:

• Custom homes and infill properties

• Duplexes and townhomes

• Detached and attached garages

• Home additions and sunrooms

• Secondary suites (legal basement units)

• Light commercial buildings

From blueprint to backfill, we handle every step with professionalism, safety, and long-term performance in mind.

Foundation Types We Build

No two construction projects are the same. That’s why we offer a range of foundation systems, all built to current standards and engineered for Winnipeg’s freeze-thaw conditions.

1. Poured Concrete Foundations

Our most requested service. Poured concrete foundations offer excellent structural integrity, moisture resistance, and durability. We handle:

• Excavation and site preparation

• Formwork and rebar installation

• Concrete pour, finish, and cure

• Damp-proofing and drainage

• Backfill and final grade

Ideal for basements, crawl spaces, and full builds where long-term strength matters.

2. ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Foundations

Looking for energy efficiency and thermal insulation built right into the walls? ICF foundations offer:

• Excellent R-value for energy savings

• Fast installation

• Superior moisture and fire resistance

• Long-lasting structural performance

We work with both homeowners and builders to integrate ICF into the full build plan.

3. Slab-on-Grade Foundations

For garages, workshops, additions, and some homes, slab-on-grade is a cost-effective, quick-to-install option. These foundations are:

• Poured directly on a prepped gravel bed

• Reinforced with rebar or mesh

• Finished flat and smooth for flooring or framing

We ensure proper frost protection using rigid insulation and perimeter detailing.

Why Your Foundation Must Be Done Right

A poorly built foundation can cause major structural issues years—or even months—after construction. We’ve seen the consequences of rushed or underbuilt foundations: cracked walls, water ingress, sloped flooring, and sinking structures.

That’s why all of our new foundation work includes:

• Engineered design (where required)

• Proper excavation and soil compaction

• Frost protection and rebar placement

• Accurate leveling and laser grading

• Inspections at critical stages

We follow or exceed Manitoba Building Code requirements and work closely with engineers, architects, and municipal inspectors to ensure compliance and long-term safety.

Our Process: From Planning to Pour

Here’s what you can expect when working with Assured Foundations on a new build:

Step 1: Site Visit & Planning

We meet on-site to assess soil conditions, access, elevation, and review your construction plans.

Step 2: Estimate & Timeline

You’ll receive a detailed quote outlining the scope of work, materials, timeline, and cost.

Step 3: Excavation & Forming

Our team excavates to proper depth and installs forms to the exact measurements required.

Step 4: Rebar & Inspection

Reinforcement is laid and inspected. If an engineer is required, we coordinate their inspection.

Step 5: Concrete Pour

We pour and finish the concrete, ensuring smooth edges, correct height, and a perfect level.

Step 6: Curing & Backfill

The concrete is allowed to cure to full strength, followed by backfill and site cleanup.

We also offer optional services such as sump pit installation, weeping tile systems, rigid insulation, and foundation walls for legal basement suites.

Residential & Commercial Foundation Work

Our team has completed hundreds of foundation construction projects throughout Winnipeg, including:

• Custom home builds in River Heights and St. Vital

• Garage foundations in North Kildonan and Transcona

• Duplex foundation construction in West End

• Light commercial pads in St. James and downtown Winnipeg

We work directly with clients or subcontract through general contractors depending on the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep do you dig for foundations in Winnipeg?
We follow the Manitoba Building Code, which typically requires foundations to be at least 4 feet below grade to protect against frost heave. For basements, excavation is deeper depending on height requirements.

Can you work directly with my home builder?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with general contractors, engineers, and architects to make sure your foundation work fits seamlessly into the construction schedule.

Do you do garage pads and legal suite foundations too?
Absolutely. We build foundations for standalone garages, attached additions, secondary suites, and more.

Can you include rebar and sump pits in the quote?
Yes. All our quotes are customized, and we include any structural elements, drainage systems, or insulation that may be required.

Do you handle permits?
We help guide you through the process and provide any documentation needed, but the property owner or GC typically pulls the permit. We’ll make it easy for you to get what’s required.
