PERMA-STRUCTO, INC.

What PERMA-STRUCTO, INC. does

Perma-Structo, Inc. is a family-owned poured concrete foundation contractor founded in August 1965 by Erwin 'Buck' Sweet and headquartered at 9420 Charles Street, Sturtevant, Wisconsin. The company specializes in poured concrete foundations and flatwork for new single-family and multi-family homes, garages, commercial buildings, barns, and home additions, serving home builders, contractors, and developers across Southeastern Wisconsin. Its service stack includes footings, wall forming and pouring, basement and garage flatwork, plus add-on options such as Tuff-N-Dri H8 waterproofing (15-year warranty), rigid foam insulation (R-5/R-7.5/R-10), Form-A-Drain integrated footing/drainage/radon systems, and egress window systems (Boman Kemp, Unlimited, RockWell). The company also offers an industry-leading 2-year foundation guarantee, which it was the first to introduce in Southeast Wisconsin.

The business is built on a B2B sales-led go-to-market targeting builder accounts, with customer acquisition driven by direct relationships (some spanning 5-20 years), trade-association memberships (WBA, LBA, RKBA, NAHB, CFA, ACPA), and 60 years of community reputation. Bidding is quote-based: builders submit prints via email ([email protected]) or office drop-off, with proposals delivered in 3-10 business days. Pricing is not publicly disclosed because each project is custom-scoped by foundation type, size, and complexity. Revenue is project-based and one-time per foundation job.

The company maintains a large fleet of modern equipment including a 110 ft conveyor truck, concrete pump trucks (used for 99% of walls), cranes, dump trucks, and high-tech layout instruments that enable single-day wall pours with stiffer, higher-strength mixes. Second-generation owners Patti (Sweet) Beaudin (President) and Mark Beaudin co-run the business, with third-generation family members Cole Beaudin (Accountant) and Cassie Beaudin now active in operations. The firm carries no external institutional ownership, no public listing, and operates within a single regional geography with no disclosed headcount or financial metrics.

Direct peers

• Tindall Corporation: Tindall is a precast/prestressed concrete manufacturer serving building, infrastructure, and utility markets including foundation systems. They compete with Perma-Structo on residential foundation wall solutions and bring precast scale to the same end customer (home builders, developers).
• Superior Walls of America: Superior Walls manufactures and installs precast concrete foundation systems for residential builders across North America. While their technology (precast vs. poured-in-place) differs from Perma-Structo, they directly compete for the same residential foundation contracts with a different delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Concrete Construction: Baker Concrete is one of the largest concrete contractors in the U.S. with national operations across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. They perform large-scale poured concrete foundations and structural concrete work, providing a broad-incumbent benchmark for Perma-Structo's specialized residential foundation niche.
• Structural Group: Structural Group provides specialty contracting services including foundation repair, waterproofing, and concrete restoration across the U.S. They overlap with Perma-Structo on residential foundation expertise (waterproofing, structural integrity) but operate at national scale across multiple service lines.
• Barton Malow Company: Barton Malow is a large diversified contractor providing concrete, foundations, and general construction across industrial, commercial, and sports segments. Their concrete services arm performs poured foundations comparable to Perma-Structo, but as part of a much broader construction portfolio.
• Lithko Contracting: Lithko is a national concrete contractor specializing in foundations, slabs, and site concrete for commercial and residential customers. Their full-scope poured concrete foundation services across multiple regions make them a broad-incumbent comparable to Perma-Structo's regional poured-wall business.

Others

• Quikrete Companies: Quikrete is a leading North American manufacturer of packaged concrete products and ready-mix concrete. As a key materials supplier to foundation contractors including Perma-Structo, they are an ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor.
• Master Builders Solutions (BASF): BASF's Master Builders Solutions is the manufacturer of the Tuff-N-Dri H8 waterproofing membrane that Perma-Structo is authorized to install. As the supplier of a flagship add-on product, they are a critical ecosystem partner rather than a competitor.
• Vulcan Materials Company: Vulcan Materials is the largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates, including sand and gravel used in ready-mix concrete. They serve as a key materials supplier in the same concrete value chain as Perma-Structo without directly competing for installation work.
• Boman Kemp Window Systems: Boman Kemp manufactures poured-in-place egress window systems that Perma-Structo installs as part of its add-on offerings. They are a product supplier/partner rather than a competitor in the foundation installation market.
