Engineered Composite Footing Pads
Skip the concrete. Start building sooner.
Engineered Composite Footing Pads are an alternative to traditional concrete footings for many post-frame building applications, designed and tested to support structural building loads.
Why choose composite footing pads
These advanced composite footings eliminate many of the challenges associated with concrete. There is no mixing, pouring, forming, or waiting for concrete to cure. Simply prepare the footing location, install the footing pad, and continue building.
Manufactured from high-strength, fiber-reinforced composite materials, these footings are engineered to provide exceptional durability while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. Their proven performance and code-compliant design make them an increasingly popular choice for post-frame construction projects.
Engineered, tested, and code-recognized
Composite Footing Pads are ICC-ES evaluated, meaning they have been independently reviewed for structural compliance and performance. Evaluation reports (ICC-ES Report ESR-2147) are available for engineers and building officials as needed to support permitting and approval processes.
This third-party evaluation provides added confidence that the product meets recognized standards for use in structural applications and can be properly documented for code compliance during construction.
Built for faster installation
Traditional concrete footings can add significant labor, equipment, and waiting time to a project. Composite Footing Pads offer a modern alternative that allows builders to move from excavation to construction more quickly, helping simplify the overall building process without sacrificing structural performance.

Common questions
Will my building official accept composite footings?
The pads are ICC-ES evaluated (Report ESR-2147), and that evaluation report is available to engineers and building officials to support permitting. Your specialist can help confirm what your locality requires.
