Foundation refurbishment or replacement

How long does a typical foundation replacement project take?

The typical duration of a complete foundation replacement project ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the site, soil conditions, weather, and the specific characteristics of the house. Every project is unique, but careful planning ensures efficiency, safety, and quality.

Key phases that impact the project timeline include:

  • Site preparation: setting up equipment and securing the home (1–3 days).
  • House lifting and support: installing jacks and beams (2–5 days).
  • Excavation and old foundation removal: based on depth and access (1–2 weeks).
  • New foundation construction: forming, reinforcing, pouring, and curing concrete (2–3 weeks).
  • Lowering the house and finishing: adjustments, backfilling, and cleanup (around 1 week).

For a precise estimate tailored to your property, consult the experts at Heneault Gosselin.
