AcuStruct is a general contracting firm that strives to keep Bay Area residential and commercial structures level and stable in naturally shifting environments. The company’s services include foundation underpinning, rebar fabrication, limited access drilling, structural redundancy repairs, and other work necessary to establish and maintain strong foundations.

President Dan Yust has been in the construction industry for more than a decade and has extensive background in foundation repair and replacement. Prior to establishing AcuStruct, he acquired valuable design/build experience at his former post with Siemens. Today, he says he applies that experience to providing superior workmanship and service for clients throughout Northern California. “We make sure every job benefits from our expertise, experience and proficiency.”

AcuStruct owns and operates all its own equipment, which eliminates the need for subcontractors, and it employs a complete crew of knowledgeable foremen and engineers who can analyze and diagnose situations and design and implement repair plans. “We also use independent engineering consultants and inspectors to avoid any potential conflict of interest,” says Mr. Yust. “Keeping inspection and construction responsibilities separate can be critical for defining the scope of work and employing best practices toward reaching our goals.”

Company Philosophy

“We’re a detail-oriented company, and we communicate with our clients every day. Our owners personally oversee daily operations on each job, which ensures quality control and makes the foundation repair process go as smoothly as possible. We make sure our clients understand every part of the job, and we’re always available to answer any questions they might have.”

Serving all of Contra Costa County including Walnut Creek, Pittsburg, Concord, Richmond, Antioch, Pleasant Hill, San Pablo, Oakley, Pinole and Orinda.

"Not only did they do an excellent job, which was the number one thing, but it was the manner in which they did it, they were very professional and understanding. They tried to stay on schedule, even though we had rain and other issues. They worked really well with us. They told us what things would cost. When a couple of other things came up, we didn't have to pay for them, because we had signed a contract."
