Quality is a word that gets used a lot. But you know for sure when you see someone practicing it to the extreme—and then literally building on that.

That’s the feeling you get when you work with Rodrigo Duenas and his team at FCS Foundation

& Concrete Services … a partner you can trust to lift you and your clients up in the best way possible.

“The biggest compliment I get is when customers say that they have been in a situation that could have been very stressful, and they could have been taken advantage of … but that we made it a smooth, comfortable process,” Rodrigo says.

“We get them involved so they can understand and feel good about the decision that they made with the work we do on their behalf.”

Finding a Solid Footing

It’s no secret that the soil around the North Texas area can vary — bringing with it a wide range of hurdles for builders and the house foundations they put in place.

Out of those challenges comes a wide range of solutions, methods, prices, and timelines that can be dizzying to most homeowners. In the process, Rodrigo explains, there are some myths that have popped up when it comes to stabilizing a home’s foundation.

“Pier systems have developed a bad reputation. But the issue is not with the pier system itself. For example, when we look at the work we do, we use all types of pier methods,” Rodrigo points out.

“Each method has been meticulously designed, studied, and developed by engineers who have tested these methods extensively. So it’s not about the pier methods themselves … it’s about the installation, including who does it and how well the staff is trained.”

Applied Knowledge

The solution begins with a careful and knowledgeable analysis.

“When you are dealing with a structural analyst, they are trained to know how to diagnose the issue and knowing the soil types … all of that drives which type of pier should be used on your home,” Rodrigo says.

“It’s about what works best and having that peace of mind knowing that the person looking at your house is equipped to give you an adequate recommendation. That’s what we do.”

Higher Calling

While one of the underlying, hoped-for outcomes of building a business is also building a rewarding living. Rodrigo emphasizes a higher calling for his team members.

“I always tell my team, ‘Don’t focus on sales. Focus on the solution. If you do that, the company will continue to grow and flourish.’ We are there to figure out what caused the issue, what can we do to correct it, and what can we do to maintain the home so there aren’t issues in the future.”

Growing Teamwork

That kind of growth has definitely followed the diligent efforts of Rodrigo and his team. In fact, they have added two new groups to the team that today stands at 55 employees.

As part of that, Rodrigo and his team have continued to evolve and grow their own processes with strong department and project managers, as well as outstanding foremen and crews building what Rodrigo calls good synergy.

“In the past, our structural analysts went to properties, diagnosed issues, came up with repair plans, and then also managed those jobs, as well. Today, we have added project managers to the process who oversee the actual job management,” he says.

“We provided good service before. Now, that has been improved. Customers get the best quality service possible. Another advancement we’ve made is now we are working with multiple engineering firms and getting them involved in big projects to ensure that what we’re doing provides the most efficient and permanent solutions possible.”

Family Life

Away from work, Rodrigo’s world is made rewarding by his family, including his wife, Giresse, and their two children — their 10-year-old son, Alexander; and their 5-year-old daughter, Nicole. They also adore time with their two labradoodles — Rex and Rosie.

In their free time, Rodrigo and his family are looking forward to moving into their new home in Prosper. On the weekends, they enjoy chances to travel and experience new sights and cultures. They also enjoy supporting their children’s activities, including soccer, gymnastics, and cheerleading.

Looking to the future, Rodrigo is in the process of transitioning into the role of CEO of FCS Foundation & Concrete Services, a role currently held by Founder and CEO, Joaquin Vasquez.

As time goes on and as you work with your clients in the area, the lots, the houses, and the people may change, but it’s good to know that you can count on FCS Foundation & Concrete Services to be your partner to lift them up with genuine quality.
