Urban Foundation/engineering

What Urban Foundation/engineering does

Urban Foundation/Engineering, LLC is a privately held specialty construction services firm headquartered in East Elmhurst, New York, operating since 1963. The firm provides concrete foundations, drilling systems, shoring, underpinning, and building moving services — a tightly clustered set of capabilities associated with structural support, ground engineering, and the relocation or stabilization of existing structures. Its service mix targets the heavy-civil and building-construction segments typical of the New York metropolitan market, where demand is driven by new development, transit and infrastructure work, and the renovation or repositioning of aging building stock.

The company is organized as a partnership, with Heymi Kuriel serving as CFO & Partner and Tony Mazzo serving as President & Partner. It maintains a workforce in the 51–100 employee range, a scale consistent with a sub-regional specialty contractor capable of staffing multiple concurrent field crews. No information on equipment fleet, licensing, bonding capacity, project backlog, or customer mix is available in the input data, and the firm's website was inaccessible during data collection due to an anti-bot verification page.

The business model is project-based service delivery in a specialty trade: revenue is generated by contracted scopes of foundation, shoring, underpinning, and structural-moving work, with pricing tied to project specifications, site conditions, equipment requirements, and labor intensity. No pricing model, customer segmentation, distribution channel, or marketing motion details are disclosed in the available source material.

Direct peers

• Berkel & Company Contractors, Inc. Specialty foundation contractor performing underpinning, drilled shafts, micropiles, and ground improvement for buildings and infrastructure — closely comparable service stack and customer base to Urban Foundation/Engineering.
• Case Foundation Company: Specialty foundation contractor offering drilled shafts, caissons, underpinning, and earth retention — a direct comparator on poured concrete foundation and shoring work in dense urban environments.
• Bencor Corporation of America: Foundation specialty contractor performing drilled shafts, caissons, underpinning, and earth retention for heavy civil and building projects — directly comparable in service mix and project type.
• Moretrench American Corporation: Long-established NYC-area specialty contractor focused on shoring, underpinning, dewatering, and ground improvement — directly overlapping Urban Foundation/Engineering's core services of shoring, underpinning, and drilling.

Broad incumbents

• Hayward Baker (Keller Group): One of the largest U.S. geotechnical specialty contractors (part of Keller Group), offering underpinning, micropiles, ground improvement, and shoring. Competes with Urban Foundation/Engineering on complex urban foundation jobs but at much greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Underpinning & Foundation (Skanska USA): Skanska's civil business in NYC includes underpinning and foundation work as part of broader heavy civil and building projects, competing for the same underpinning and shoring scopes that Urban Foundation/Engineering services.

Emerging players

• Foundation Support of New York: Specialty contractor focused on foundation repair, helical piers, and underpinning for residential and light commercial structures — overlaps with Urban Foundation/Engineering's underpinning offering but skewed toward smaller-scale repair work.
• TDI Construction / Structural Preservation Systems: Specialty contractor performing structural restoration, underpinning, and foundation stabilization on existing buildings — overlapping with Urban Foundation/Engineering's underpinning and shoring work in urban retrofit settings.
• Urkkada Tech (structural moving / lifting): Specialty firm in the structural lifting and building-moving space, overlapping with Urban Foundation/Engineering's building moving and underpinning services on a national basis.

Regional players

• Goettle Construction Company: Geotechnical and foundation specialty contractor performing drilled shafts, micropiles, underpinning, and earth retention; comparable service mix but primarily serving the Midwest rather than the NYC market.
