This is an example of making something out of nothing in the La Jolla Hills. These clients have an awesome view, and no back yard. By utilizing caisson and grade beam construction along with structural steel beams and lightweight concrete, we were able to create a magnificent entertainment platform.  The series of concrete walls that we built on top of the grade beams, allowed them to gain 900 sq ft of living space below the deck. They now have the game room they only dreamed of.

In the beginning of this project, the slope seemed almost non-accessible. We excavated an access road, moved on with a drill rig, and bore caissons that not only stabilized the existing slope, but were also the cornerstones for the grade beams that followed.  You can see from the finished product pictures, that these clients now have not only their awesome view, but a place to entertain and enjoy friends and family.

In 1976, Tom Nevares got his start in the concrete business, working first as a laborer and eventually getting involved with  many phases of both residential and commercial concrete work throughout the San Diego area. In the late ’70’s he went to work for R.E. Hazard Contracting and L.R. Hubbard Construction, and was exposed to many aspects of highway, bridge and prison work. Super-structure concrete has been his forte since the beginning of his career in the San Diego concrete industry.  Later in Tom’s career, he ran concrete jobs for several different San Diego contractors in foreman and superintendent capacities. During this time, he took preparation courses for the California State surveyors license, as well as educating himself in drafting and blueprint reading.

Tom got his first sole proprietorship license in 1992 to establish his own San Diego concrete business, and incorporated in 1999. Today, Nevares Concrete specializes in all phases of the concrete business, including concrete and masonry, as well as decorative concrete.
