Building  your post-frame shop, barn, or commercial structure, the concrete pad your building sits on is one of the most critical parts of the project.

With the upcoming stretch of warmer weather, now is an ideal time to pour a winter concrete slab and keep your construction project moving forward. Getting the slab completed before spring allows builders to avoid seasonal delays and start framing and construction earlier in the year.

From solid foundations to precision-finished surfaces, Rocky View Concrete delivers quality you can stand on. Whether it’s commercial floors, driveways, patios, or custom concrete work, we build it right, on time and on budget.

Many people assume concrete work must stop in winter, but that’s not true when the job is done correctly.

Big shout out to Darrel Berlando of Drumheller, AB! We had the pleasure of prepping and pouring his 30×50 shop floor. From gravel compaction and vapor barrier installation to rebar placement and finishing touches, every step was handled with care to ensure a durable, long-lasting concrete surface.

Almost a year to the day after we poured the interior slab for his stunning barndominium, Trevor reached out again, this time to add the finishing touch: a clean, well-crafted concrete patio.

Well, I finally managed to sneak in some time to pour a little concrete for myself! We just finished over 2,000 sq. ft. of stamped and exposed concrete at my own home, a seamless slate patio with a barn board border and charcoal accents.

Post frame construction, sometimes called pole building, uses large vertical posts anchored into the foundation to support the roof and walls.

If you’re investing in a post-frame building, whether it’s a shop, garage, or hobby space, the concrete slab floor is far more than just the “slab.”

We’re excited to share one of our latest projects, a 40x60 ft concrete floor we poured for Titan Water Systems in Dewinton, Alberta. This wasn’t just any floor; it was designed to meet the unique needs of their operations, featuring twin precast concrete sumps and a high-efficiency in-floor heating system.

Exciting news from Rocky View Concrete! We’ve just completed a fantastic project for Scott Craig in West Foothills, Alberta, and we couldn’t be more proud of the results! This project involved installing a spacious 40x60 post frame shop floor, designed to handle heavy use while providing optimal comfort. We incorporated in-floor heating, making the space comfortable and functional year-round, regardless of the weather.

A solid concrete pad is essential for any post-frame building, providing both a foundation and a durable surface that supports the structure for years to come. When properly installed, the concrete floor enhances the overall strength and stability of the building, ensuring that the posts remain level and preventing issues like settling or shifting. This is critical for maintaining the structural alignment and ensuring the longevity of the building.
