Concrete Foundations in Albuquerque, NM

At M&M Concrete, we bring more than 45 years of experience as concrete and excavation contractors, and we know that when you’re building a structure meant to last for decades, everything starts beneath the surface. Concrete foundations are the critical base that support a building’s weight, resist movement, and protect it from New Mexico’s shifting soils and harsh climate.

Proper planning, the right reinforcement, and selecting the correct foundation type help prevent settling, cracking, and expensive structural issues — and that’s why we take the groundwork phase so seriously before the concrete is poured.

New Mexico’s soil types—from dense caliche to sandy loam—create unique challenges for structural stability. Without the right preparation and engineering, foundations can shift, settle, or crack long before their expected lifespan.
A professionally installed foundation:

• Supports structural loads
• Protects against soil movement
• Prevents moisture intrusion
• Enhances long-term stability
• Reduces costly repairs down the road
• Every successful building, addition, or slab starts with what happens below it.
• Enhances long-term stability and supports better energy efficiency inside the structure.

Custom Home Foundations
A custom home requires a foundation engineered specifically for the design, soil type, and long-term load. We work closely with homeowners, builders, and engineers to ensure proper soil prep, compaction, reinforcement, and layout. From multi-room footprints to complex elevations, we build custom foundations that support your home for generations.

Additions & Casita Foundations
Room additions, casitas, and expansions need foundations that integrate perfectly with the existing structure. We match elevations, tie into existing footings where required, ensure load continuity, and build the foundation so the addition settles and performs like it was always part of the home.

Garage Foundations
Garages and workshops require foundations that support heavier loads—vehicles, equipment, tools, and storage. We pour reinforced slabs designed for weight distribution, durability, and crack resistance. Whether attached or detached, we build garage foundations that stand up to daily use.

Metal Building Pads
Metal buildings need perfectly leveled, compacted, reinforced concrete pads to prevent shifting and maintain structural alignment. We prepare the site, handle excavation, and pour the slab to meet the building manufacturer’s specifications. Ideal for shops, barns, storage buildings, agricultural use, and commercial facilities.

Stem Wall Foundations
Stem wall foundations consist of a concrete footing and vertical masonry or formed walls rising above grade. These are ideal for sloped lots, elevated floors, crawlspaces, and areas requiring additional support. They offer excellent load distribution and moisture protection.

Monolithic Concrete Slabs
Monolithic slabs pour the footing and slab all at once, creating a stronger single-piece structure with fewer joints. This is one of the most common choices in Albuquerque, offering efficiency, speed, and durability. Perfect for homes, garages, shops, and additions.

A durable foundation doesn’t happen by accident — it comes from a systematic process refined over 45+ years.

Site Evaluation & Soil Assessment
We inspect soil conditions, slope, drainage, and underground utilities to determine the right foundation design.

Precision Excavation & Grading
Because we handle our own excavation, we ensure the base is stable, level, and compacted correctly from the start.

Rebar Reinforcement
We install steel reinforcement to strengthen the concrete against cracking and shifting.

Form Setting & Engineering Prep
Forms are set with exacting precision to maintain proper measurements and elevation grades.

High-Quality Concrete Placement
We use the correct concrete mix for Albuquerque’s climate and structural requirements.

Finishing & Curing
Proper curing ensures long-term strength and reduces the risks of early cracking.
This full-service approach ensures the foundation you get today will still be solid decades from now.

Common Foundation Projects We Complete

• New home or casita foundations
• Additions and room expansions
• Detached garage slabs
• Shop and barn foundations
• ADU pads
• Commercial slab-on-grade structures

If it requires concrete and stability, we can build it.

How Much Do Concrete Foundations Cost?

Foundation pricing depends on:

• Thickness and type of foundation
• Soil conditions
• Excavation depth
• Reinforcement requirements
• Engineering needs
• Total square footage
• Access to the job site

Most Albuquerque foundations range from $6,000 to $40,000+, depending on size and complexity. M&M Concrete provides clear, professional estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
