Concrete Contractor in Temecula, CA
Our Temecula work is documented, not described
Most concrete contractors tell you they work in Temecula. We can show you which jobs.
Every project we finish is documented by drone, and the project gallery credits Temecula for an 18,000 square foot slab at Wilson Creek Winery, a 25,000 square foot horse arena, a 4,700 square foot custom home foundation, another custom home foundation listed simply as “massive,” and multiple V-ditch installations. That is the actual body of work behind this page.
Precision Set-Up Concrete works out of Wildomar, in the same Riverside County valley, and has been building foundations in Southern California for over 30 years under California Contractor License #963015, C-8. Our management team brings 100+ years of combined experience. Placement capacity is up to 20,000 square feet per day.
Large-format slab on grade
An 18,000 square foot pour — or any pour that uses the up-to-20,000-square-foot-per-day placement capacity is not a residential driveway scaled up. It is a different job with different failure modes: you have to keep the placement moving so you never get a cold joint, you have to hold flatness across a distance where small errors accumulate, you have to plan the joint layout before anyone forms anything, and you have to finish the far end while the near end is still workable. That takes crew depth and a placement plan, not just a bigger truck order.
This is what makes Temecula distinctive for us. Between the wineries, the equestrian facilities, the barns and arenas, and the commercial pads, this valley generates large-format slab on grade work that most residential concrete companies will not bid — and we already have it in the gallery.
Arena and barn slabs in particular have requirements a house slab does not: slope for washdown and drainage, surface texture appropriate to the use, and thickness and reinforcement sized to the loads that will actually cross it.
Custom home foundations in Temecula
The residential side is custom home foundations one-off houses for owner-builders and general contractors, not tract production.
We build from the structural plans and the soils report and nothing else: footing geometry, rebar schedule, anchor bolts and holdowns tied to the drawing, penetrations set before the pour rather than cored afterward, elevations shot and re-shot. On sloped Temecula parcels that means stepped footings or a raised foundation where the engineer calls for one. Whatever the plan draws, we build. Full scope on the concrete foundations page.
V-ditches and drainage
Temecula shows up repeatedly in our V-ditch portfolio, and there is a reason: the valley has a lot of ground with slope above it, and once a property has grade above it, storm water is a design problem rather than a weather problem.
A concrete V-ditch or brow ditch intercepts that water uphill of the structure and carries it to a controlled discharge point. It only works if it is built to the civil drawing — correct invert elevations, consistent section, continuous positive flow, and an outlet where the plan puts it. A ditch that ponds or discharges into the neighbor’s slope is worse than nothing, because everyone stops worrying about the water.
Flatwork and driveways
Driveways, patios, walkways, garage slabs, equipment pads and pool decks. Our flatwork in Temecula runs from standard residential approaches to the long driveways and heavy pads that come with larger parcels out toward the wine country. There is a dedicated page for concrete driveways in Temecula.
City of Temecula vs. unincorporated wine country
Worth knowing before you plan a schedule: a project inside the Temecula city limits is permitted and inspected by the City of Temecula. Much of the wine country east and northeast of the city is unincorporated Riverside County, which means the County handles plan check and inspection instead — even where the mailing address reads Temecula. Different submittal, different inspector, different scheduling. Either way, the owner or general contractor pulls the building permit. Precision Set-Up Concrete never pulls permits and is never listed on the permit. We build to the permitted plans and coordinate around the pre-pour inspection.
We build in both. Tell us the parcel rather than just the address and we will bid the right process with it. If your project is out in the wine country proper, see our Temecula Wine Country page.
Bid from your plans, and the only two things that change it
We bid from your plans. The bid covers the scope on those drawings. We do not take a thin takeoff and make it back in extras.
Two things move the bid. You change the work — added square footage, a moved wall, an upsized footing. Or the grade does not match the plan: the pad we show up to is not the pad the plan drew, and getting it to plan is work that was never bid. Either way you get it in writing with the reason before we build it.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle pours large enough for a winery slab or a horse arena?
Yes. Our project gallery includes an 18,000 square foot slab at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula and a 25,000 square foot horse arena, both drone-documented. Placement capacity is up to 20,000 square feet per day. Pours at that scale need a placement plan, joint layout worked out in advance, and enough crew to keep the placement continuous — that is the capability, not the truck count.
My property has a Temecula address but I was told it is in the county, not the city. Does that change anything?
It changes who reviews and inspects the job. Inside the city limits, that is the City of Temecula. Much of the surrounding wine country is unincorporated Riverside County, where the County handles it. The concrete work is the same; the approvals path is not. Tell us the parcel when you request a bid.
Why do so many Temecula and wine-country sites need a V-ditch or brow ditch?
Because a lot of this valley has grade above the structure. A brow ditch intercepts runoff at the top of a slope; a V-ditch carries that water to a controlled discharge. Which one a Temecula parcel needs, and where it goes, comes off the grading and civil plans — not off a catalog.
Do you do tract and production work in Temecula?
Our published Temecula work is custom home foundations, large-format commercial and equestrian slabs, V-ditches and flatwork. Send us the plans for whatever you are building and we will tell you plainly whether it is a fit.
Who pulls the building permit on a Temecula job?
The owner or the general contractor — the City of Temecula inside the city limits, or the County on unincorporated wine-country parcels. Precision Set-Up Concrete never pulls building permits and is never listed on the permit. We build to the permitted plans and coordinate around the pre-pour inspection.
