Steadfast Foundation Technologies, LLC, measures and analyzes new and existing building foundations for movement over time. Our network of resellers can attach our Slabsure sensors to your foundation along the perimeter and take elevation readings over time. The position of each measurement is repeated every hour which allows our servers to crunch the database and generate a clear report on the condition of the foundation at that moment in time. Historical data is maintained for reference and analysis. We think that our mission statement sums it up: "We exist to ensure the lasting value of every foundation employing our technology. We believe in statistical process control and defining problems early and well. We value quality, integrity, safety and a genuine concern for the customers, communities, employees, suppliers and investors we serve."

We love the great outdoors. And we love those who love the great outdoors. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to two things. First, to build outdoor gear you can rely on. Second, to price that gear for the real world. You shouldn’t need to take out a second mortgage just to keep your drinks cold. We offer a very compelling value proposition on quality rotomolded coolers. We're the brand, the importer, the shop, and the marketing arm, all in one. The company is based in Houston Texas.

Were first money and first work into the ground. We take raw dirt and approvals and build value out of nothing — then hand it to the builders who take it vertical. When a project calls for us to carry it further, we do. Residential and master-planned communities are our focus. The work does not change on commercial, mixed-use, or industrial ground, and we take those on when the site and the market call for it. ORIGIN is where the value starts. PARTNERS is the landowners, builders, lenders, and capital who make each deal possible. Weve never done this alone, and we dont intend to.
