San Diego Commercial Concrete Contractor
Structure. Strength. Support.
Cal-Crete Partnership self-performs foundations, slabs, cast-in-place structures and site concrete for owners, general contractors and public agencies across San Diego County.
Who we are
We build what everything else stands on.
Foundations, slabs and site concrete are the first thing built and the last thing anyone should have to think about. Cal-Crete exists to make that true — with disciplined planning, self-performing crews and documentation that stands up to any inspector, resident engineer or auditor.
We partner with public agencies, owners and general contractors on projects where schedule, specification and accountability matter. From a single building pad to a multi-phase public facility, our crews form, reinforce, place and finish concrete to the drawings — and to the standard the public expects.
About Cal-Crete
Capabilities
Self-performed concrete, from footing to finish.
Six core service lines, delivered by one accountable team — so owners and prime contractors get a single point of responsibility for the entire concrete scope.
- 01
Structural Foundations
Spread and continuous footings, grade beams, mat foundations and pile caps — formed, reinforced and placed to the structural drawings.
- 02
Slab-on-Grade & Building Pads
Large-footprint reinforced slabs for warehouses, public facilities and commercial buildings — with dowels, embeds and joints placed right the first time.
- 03
Cast-in-Place Walls & Structures
Retaining walls, site walls, stairs, ramps, vaults and equipment foundations built to structural and civil drawings.
- 04
Site Concrete & Flatwork
Sidewalks, curb and gutter, parking areas, plazas, trash enclosures and accessible routes that pass inspection the first time.
- 05
Public Works & Infrastructure
Right-of-way concrete built to Greenbook, San Diego Regional Standard Drawings and Caltrans standards — with prevailing-wage compliance built in.
- 06
Preconstruction & Estimating
Early involvement on concrete scope — constructability reviews, value engineering, phasing and hard-bid or negotiated pricing.

Public sector
Ready for public work, from bid day to closeout.
Public projects demand more than good concrete. They demand compliance, documentation and a contractor who shows up exactly as the contract says. That is the standard Cal-Crete is built around.
- Prevailing wage & certified payroll reporting
- Greenbook, SDRSD & Caltrans standard specifications
- Bonding and insurance for public contracts
- SWPPP / BMP implementation and traffic control
- Small-business & DBE teaming with prime contractors
How we work
A process built for predictability.
No surprises for the owner, the prime or the inspector. Every Cal-Crete project follows the same disciplined four-phase approach.
- 01
Preconstruction
Document review, constructability input, pour sequencing and a transparent, itemized proposal.
- 02
Planning
Submittals, mix designs, shop drawings, inspection scheduling and site logistics — before mobilization.
- 03
Execution
Self-performed forming, reinforcing and placement with daily reporting and on-site quality control.
- 04
Closeout
Test results, inspection records, certified payroll and as-builts delivered complete and on time.
Safety & quality
Everyone home safe. Every pour to spec.
Safety and quality are planned, not hoped for. Written programs, daily task planning and pre-pour inspections are part of every Cal-Crete job — regardless of size.
