55 Most Pioneering Construction Foundation Systems Provider 2023 - USA Wafflemat is the leading foundation system for single and multi-family residential and light commercial structures, and since being introduced in 1993, has been used in over 30,000,000 sq. ft in foundations across the US. We speak to VP of Operations, Danny Ohman, who tells us more. For 30 years now, Wafflemat has delivered superior performance compared to other foundation systems, while also saving significant cost through the reduction of soils prep, concrete, reinforcing steel, and building cycle time. Danny says, “If you’re looking for a concrete foundation that’s easy to form, structurally stronger and stiffer than a conventional shallow foundation design, with faster recovery time due to inclement weather delays, Wafflemat is your solution.” What makes Wafflemat different is its unique offerings when compared to a traditional foundation design. Danny points out four of the key advantages that help separate Wafflemat from the competition: The first is faster installation time, with Wafflemat being quick and easy to install, a significant amount of time can be saved, with labor costs reduced – this is especially true of large projects. Second is the greater stability which Wafflemat provides, through the offering of a stiffer cross-section and the unique waffle-like design, the configuration allows for a more rigid design with an efficient placement of concrete and lower concrete yields. Third, Waffleboxes are arranged into a customised grid system, sustaining interior load demands based on the framing of the building. Finally, the faster installation and reduction in materials compared to other foundation systems makes it a great choice for using your budget wisely. When approaching a project, the Wafflemat team always ensure the customer is as educated as possible beforehand,. A lot of Texas soil is variable in quality due to many of the good soil sites already being taken, and the soil that is left often requires common, yet expensive, fixes. In such a competitive marketplace, Wafflemat stands out for its fast, durable, and affordable alternative to traditional concrete foundations. This is applicable in an array of situations, such as in areas where rain is constant and there is an urgency to get the slab poured. This makes the Wafflemat system extremely useful for a variety of projects, from single-family homes to commercial buildings, and is a valuable option to consider for your next building project. The sector is changing fast, with home building growing exponentially, the time saved by Wafflemat can prove invaluable to builders. Looking ahead to the rest of 2023 and beyond, Danny predicts rapid growth for the company, whose innovation will continue to provide fast, reliable and cheaper alternatives to traditional foundations for years to come.
