We’re in the initial phases of construction for a new custom high-performance home in Leawood, Kansas. While these early steps in the construction process may not seem as glamorous as others, starting off on the right foot, with a strong foundation, is arguably one of the most important steps to get right. 

ABI Corporation, a concrete foundation company based in Lee’s Summit, handled the execution of the footings and foundation for this project.



Crafted from concrete and reinforced with rebar, poured into an excavated trench, footings are an essential piece of the foundation system. The footings ensure durability and stability as they distribute the weight of the structure evenly, preventing settling. 

Next steps: capillary break! Follow along to see this home continue to take shape.
