Self-Perform Structural Concrete: One accountable crew, start to finish
Our own crews build the forms and place the concrete on every structural pour — footings, foundation walls, slabs, and structural elements. One accountable team, from layout to finish.
Serving Binghamton, Syracuse, Ithaca, Elmira, Corning, Scranton, and surrounding markets.
Structural Concrete Scope
From footings to elevated slabs, our crews form and reinforce the structural elements that carry your building's loads. Staying on-site to manage the work through every stage.
Footings & Foundation Walls
Load-bearing footings and foundation walls set below frost depth for upstate NY conditions.
Slab on Grade
Engineered slabs built for the loads they'll carry — office traffic, retail, or industrial equipment.
Elevated Structural Slabs & Decks
Formed and reinforced elevated decks for multi-story commercial and institutional buildings.
Retaining Walls & Below-Grade Structures
Site retaining walls and below-grade concrete for sites with grade change or soil pressure.
Structural Columns, Piers & Grade Beams
Formed structural elements built to spec, coordinated tightly with steel and framing trades.
Cold-Weather Concrete Placement
Winter pour protocols (curing, insulation, and timing) built for upstate NY's pour windows.
What "Self-Perform" Means Here
Our crews handle the forming and reinforement, directly. This scope isn't handed off to a low-bid sub and coordinated from a distance — it's built by the same team you're already talking to, on the same schedule as the rest of your project.
Quality Through Every Stage
We stay on-site managing the work from layout through finish, coordinating closely with concrete suppliers and placement partners so mix design and timing stay tightly controlled on your schedule.
Who We Work For
- Commercial developers and property owners
- Healthcare and institutional facility owners
- Educational institutions and campus facilities
- Municipalities and public entities
- Industrial and warehouse operators
- General Contractors/Construction Managers needing a structural concrete subcontractor
Why Fahs for Structural Concrete
One Team, No Handoffs
Forming and reinforcement stay in-house, so there's no gap between a GC and a sub over tolerances or schedule.
Built for Upstate NY Conditions
Frost depth, variable soils, and winter pour windows are conditions our crews plan for, not discover mid-pour.
40+ Years Self-Performing Structural Concrete
Fahs has self-performed structural concrete across the Southern Tier and Central NY for over 40 years — experience that carries into every crew we field.

FAQs
Who forms and reinforces the structural concrete on my project?
Our own crews handle forming and reinforcement placement directly, from layout through finish, staying on-site to manage the work through every stage.
Can you pour through the winter?
Yes. Cold-weather concrete practices (insulation, curing protocols, and timing) are standard for our crews working upstate NY's pour windows.
How do you handle difficult soil or bearing conditions?
Our field teams work directly from geotechnical findings and adjust footing depth and design in the field when conditions differ from the plans.
Do you work as a subcontractor to other GCs?
Yes. We take on structural concrete scope as a subcontractor to other general contractors and construction managers, in addition to our own CM/GC projects.
What should I have ready for an estimate?
Structural drawings or plans if available, project address, timeline, and any known soil or site conditions.
