How Kairos scopes and coordinates deep foundation work
Kairos holds the client relationship, reviews the geotechnical data, and defines the scope. Execution is carried out by specialty contractors within the vetted network — matched to the method the site actually calls for, in the order we see most often.
Helical pile installation
Steel shafts with helical bearing plates, turned into the ground with a hydraulic drive head and verified by installation torque. Our lead method, for new construction and underpinning alike.
Drilled piers and caissons
Straight-shaft and belled piers carrying loads past reactive surface soils into stable bearing strata, where the load or ground conditions call for them.
Foundation underpinning and retrofit stabilization
Stabilizing and arresting movement in existing foundations affected by settlement or expansive clay, tying new deep foundation elements back into the original structure.
Slope and retaining wall stabilization
Scoping structural support for cut-and-fill lots, retaining structures, and slopes at risk of movement, coordinated with the site’s grading plan.
Ongoing foundation monitoring and maintenance
Periodic inspection and movement monitoring after installation, so a stabilized foundation stays stabilized through seasonal soil movement.
Residential and commercial, one point of contact.
Kairos coordinates both sides of Central Texas construction — custom hillside and waterfront homes, and large-scale commercial development — through the same network and the same single point of contact.
Custom hillside, waterfront, and Lake Austin estates
Site evaluation and structural stabilization for custom homes on hillside, waterfront, and limestone lots, including Lake Austin estates.
Multifamily, industrial, and municipal
Subcontractor coordination and project management through completion for multifamily, industrial, and municipal foundation systems.
Backed by 400+ vetted specialty contractors.
20+ years of combined foundation and construction industry experience sits behind every scope Kairos writes. One team, one point of contact, start to finish — with the right specialty contractor performing each phase of the work.
