A new garage or home addition starts with a concrete foundation, and everything above rests on it. Georgia Premier Contracting Group pours concrete foundations for garages, workshops, home additions and accessory buildings. That covers monolithic slabs and footings with stem walls, poured to fit the building and the lot.
Concrete foundations are one part of our work as a concrete contractor in Monroe. Monroe sits at the center of our service area, which takes in the towns around it. Call or text (770) 743-6706 with the size of the building you have in mind. We look at the job and put a free quote in writing.

A monolithic slab is the floor and the footing poured together as one piece. The slab turns down at the edges into a thick footing, and that edge carries the walls. It is a common choice for a detached garage or a workshop on level ground.
A stem wall foundation starts with footings. Short concrete walls rise from the footings to floor height, and the floor is poured or framed inside them. On a sloped lot, the walls run taller on the low side, so the floor sits level.
The building and the lot decide which type fits. Where there are plans, they set the footing size and the steel. When the plans carry an engineer's stamp, that design sets the foundation, and that is what we pour.
Monroe's zoning ordinance sorts new buildings two ways. A detached garage or workshop counts as an accessory building, whatever its use. A building tied to the house by a shared roof, wall or foundation counts as an addition. An addition has to meet the same rules as the house.
Accessory buildings in Monroe go in the side or rear yard only. They sit at least 5 feet from every lot line and 5 feet from the house. They top out at 25 feet tall and at half the heated floor area of the house. A detached garage also needs a way in, so ask about a driveway extension in the same quote.
Most of Monroe sits on well drained Piedmont red clay, by the USDA soil survey. Lots along a creek follow one more rule. Inside Monroe and in unincorporated Walton County, a 50-foot natural buffer runs along each stream bank. In most cases, a 25-foot setback past that buffer keeps out buildings and concrete.
Inside the city limits, the City of Monroe Code Department takes permit applications. It has separate forms for additions and for accessory buildings. Its inspection list for new homes puts the footing and slab inspection first. Any plumbing in the slab gets checked at that stage, before the pour.
A Monroe mailing address can sit outside the city limits, in unincorporated Walton County. Those lots go to the county's Department of Planning and Development. Its residential packet says in capital letters: do not pour concrete before the slab and footing inspection. It also calls for two runs of #4 rebar in footings, unless an engineer specifies otherwise.
For metal buildings over 500 square feet, the county's accessory permit form asks for engineer-stamped footing plans. Each office has the final word on your lot, and we point you to the right one. Before any footing is dug with a machine, Georgia law requires a locate request through Georgia 811. Georgia 811 asks for it at least 3 business days ahead.
