Concrete Contractor in Wildomar, CA
Wildomar is where our yard is
Precision Set-Up Concrete — PSU Concrete works out of Wildomar, CA. Not a mailbox, not a satellite office. When we pour a concrete foundation in Wildomar, the crew, the forms and the equipment start the day here and end the day here.
That matters more than it sounds. On a foundation job the expensive problems are the ones that show up between the grading and the pour — a pad that came in off the plan, a form change the framer needs to know about before the truck rolls, a stem wall that has to be re-shot after the soils engineer walks the site. Being in town is how those get handled the same morning instead of the next week.
We have been building foundations in Southern California for over 30 years, under California Contractor License #963015, C-8 (concrete). Our management team brings 100+ years of combined experience. Wildomar sits in Riverside County along the I-15 corridor between Lake Elsinore and Murrieta, and the building stock reflects that: newer subdivision lots on graded pads, older homes on larger parcels, and rural acreage on the sloped ground away from the freeway. We build on all of it.
Concrete foundations in Wildomar
Foundations are the core of the business, not a sideline we added to a flatwork company. Concrete foundations is where our estimating, our layout and our crew depth actually live.
Custom home foundations. If you are an owner-builder or a general contractor putting up a one-off house in Wildomar, this is our home ground. We take the structural plans and the soils report and build exactly what they call for — footing depths, rebar schedule, anchor and holdown placement, plumbing and conduit penetrations set before the pour rather than cored after it. See custom home foundations for the full scope and how we sequence it against your framer’s start date.
Slab on grade. The most common foundation type on Wildomar’s graded pads. A slab on grade is simple in concept and unforgiving in execution: subgrade prep and compaction, vapor barrier, reinforcement per plan, accurate elevations, then a flat, correctly jointed finish. Get the elevations wrong and every trade behind you pays for it. We set our grade off the engineer’s benchmark and we shoot it again before the pour.
Raised and stepped foundations. On Wildomar’s sloped parcels a flat slab is not always what the plan calls for. We build raised foundations and stepped footings where the grade requires them, working to the engineered detail rather than improvising in the field.
ADU foundations. Wildomar homeowners adding a detached accessory dwelling unit usually need more than the pour: a pad at the grade the plans show, drainage around the new structure, and a foundation that ties into utilities that were never planned for a second structure. We handle the full foundation scope so the ADU contractor inherits a pad that is square, flat and to plan.
Flatwork: driveways, patios, walkways
Driveways, patios, walkways, garage slabs, equipment and utility pads. Our flatwork work in Wildomar runs from a standard broom-finish driveway on a subdivision lot to long approaches and heavy pads on the larger parcels where the property owner is parking a trailer or a piece of equipment on it.
The specification questions we ask on every flatwork bid are the same ones that decide whether the slab is still good in fifteen years: what is going on top of it, how thick does that make it, where do the control joints go, and where does the water leave. We answer those in the bid, in writing, before anyone forms anything.
V-ditches and brow ditches for Wildomar’s sloped lots
Where a Wildomar property has grade above it, water has to be given somewhere to go before it finds the garage or the foundation perimeter on its own. Concrete V-ditches and brow ditches are the engineered answer, and they are a genuine specialty here rather than an add-on — the project gallery includes V-ditch runs measured in thousands of linear feet.
We build to the civil drawing and the grading plan: correct invert elevations, consistent section, positive flow the whole length, and outlets that discharge where the plan says they discharge. A V-ditch that ponds is worse than no V-ditch, because it convinces the owner the problem is solved.
Permits and inspections in Wildomar
Wildomar is an incorporated city, so plan check and inspection for work inside the city limits run through the City of Wildomar rather than through Riverside County directly. The owner or general contractor always 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 our schedule around the pre-pour inspection of forms, steel and setbacks.
Bid from your plans, and what a change order actually means
We bid from your plans. The bid covers the scope on those drawings — we do not take a thin takeoff and then rebuild the margin with extras once the forms are up.
There are exactly two things that change the bid. One, you change the work: you add a garage bay, you move a wall, you upsize a footing. Two, the grade does not match the plan — the pad as we find it is not the pad the plan drew, and getting it to plan is work nobody bid. In either case you get the change in writing before we build it, with the reason attached. That is the whole change-order policy.
See the work
Every project we complete is documented by drone. The project gallery shows custom home foundations from roughly 1,200 to 6,000+ square feet, ADU foundations, garage foundations, raised foundations, V-ditch installations and flatwork across Riverside County and San Diego County. It is the fastest way to judge whether our finish quality matches what you are building.

Frequently asked questions
Where is PSU Concrete actually located?
Precision Set-Up Concrete is at Wildomar, CA. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can reach us at (800) 294-2207 or info@psuconcrete.com.
Do you build foundations for owner-builders in Wildomar, or only for general contractors?
Both. A good share of our custom home foundation work is for owner-builders who are managing their own project, and a good share is for general contractors who need the foundation subcontracted to a crew that only does concrete. Send the structural plans and soils report — we bid from the drawings and will tell you plainly whether the job is a fit. No hard owner-builder restrictions are published on this page.
What is a slab on grade, and is that what my Wildomar house needs?
A slab on grade is a foundation poured directly on prepared subgrade, with the floor slab and the footings forming one structural system. It is the most common residential foundation type on graded pads. Whether it is right for your lot is decided by your structural engineer and your soils report, not by us but we will build whatever they specify, including raised or stepped foundations where the grade calls for it.
Are you licensed for concrete work specifically?
Yes. California Contractor License #963015, classification C-8, which is the concrete specialty classification. You can verify it yourself on the CSLB website.
What do you need from me to put together a bid?
The structural plans, the foundation plan, the soils report if you have one, and the site address. If you have a grading plan or a civil drawing for drainage, send that too. Submit them through Request a Bid or email info@psuconcrete.com.
Who pulls the building permit on a Wildomar job?
The owner or the general contractor. Precision Set-Up Concrete never pulls building permits and is never listed on the permit. We build to the permitted plans and schedule the pour after the pre-pour inspection clears.
