Overview

First Foundations Program

The foundations supporting structures in most Indigenous Communities aren't performing. Shifted houses, doors that don't close, cracks in walls, mold infestation - all because poor foundations are being used.

As a contractor, you know that a healthy home starts with a stable foundation. What you might not know is that you can become a certified screw pile installer. You can begin installing a foundation solution that, in many Indigenous communities, makes a lot more sense.

Becoming a certified installer can provide you with a reliable income stream. Industry is moving north, and the mining, gas, and logging companies need foundations. Indigenous communities are in desperate need for more and improved housing and infrastructure.

There is no choice - Indigenous communities will have ongoing building projects. VersaPile foundations can be stored outside, don't corrode in harsh weather, and are lighter than bags of concrete. Plus, they can be installed with the equipment you or your community likely already own.

Joining the First Foundations program gives your community a better building foundation, and it gives you more opportunities to make money.

How First Foundations creates income?

Indigenous Communities have lived on the land for generations. That means that, as First Nations, you have influence in your traditional territory.

Companies must consult with, and involve you, in a meaningful way if they want to operate in your territory.

When you become a certified foundation installer, you can work with these companies to be hired as their foundation contractors.

Here are some of the places and industries you could install foundations for:
