The PSIP certificate documents that residential driveways meet specific construction standards, including 4000 PSI concrete mix composition, half-inch rebar installation on chair rails in two-foot grid patterns, pumped concrete delivery to preserve base compaction, and precision finishing techniques. The certification is issued to builders and transfers to homeowners at closing, creating a quality record that follows the property through subsequent transactions.

PSIP Certificate Specifications

The PSIP certificate verifies adherence to five technical specifications:

• Half-inch rebar installation on chair rails in two-foot grid pattern configuration
• 4000 PSI concrete mix composition with half-inch aggregate rock
• Pumped concrete delivery methodology to preserve base compaction integrity
• Precision joint line finishing and hand-finished surface application
• Structural skeletal system installation documentation

Base compaction preservation represents a key component of the certification protocol. The pumped concrete delivery method maintains base integrity by keeping delivery vehicles off prepared surfaces. When concrete trucks traverse compacted base materials, vehicle weight can create point loads that re-introduce air pockets and disturb aggregate layers. The pumped delivery approach uses pump lines to place concrete while trucks remain off the base, preserving the compaction achieved during site preparation.

Certificate Transfer and Builder Applications

The PSIP certificate is issued directly to builders upon project completion and verification. At closing, the certification transfers to the homeowner as part of the property documentation. When the property is eventually listed for sale, the certificate provides verifiable documentation of concrete infrastructure specifications for prospective buyers and real estate professionals.

The certification program is designed for custom home builders seeking documented quality verification for residential concrete work. Pumas Concrete reports the cost differential for PSIP-certified installation ranges from $3 to $5 per square foot compared to standard installation methods.

Company Background and Availability

Pumas Concrete developed the PSIP certification protocol based on California residential concrete construction methodologies. The company operates with crews trained in West Coast concrete installation techniques and finishing standards.

Carlos Reyes, Operations Director for Pumas Concrete, stated: "The PSIP certificate provides builders with documented verification that concrete work meets specific technical standards. The certification creates a quality record that transfers with the property and provides transparency around construction specifications."

The certification program is available to custom home builders in Middle Tennessee. Pumas Concrete is currently establishing partnerships with builders interested in offering PSIP-certified concrete work as part of their construction specifications.
