About Us
Why Choose LA Seismic Construction?
Established by Vahe Karabed and Corky Landers, LA Seismic Construction is a foundation contracting firm specializing in all aspects of the foundation field. Originally founded to address the demand for earthquake retrofitting of brick buildings during the 1980s, LA Seismic Construction has continued to stay at the forefront of the foundation industry, ensuring that Los Angeles structures are legally compliant, as well as our top priority, ensuring the safety of everyone who steps into a building we have worked on.
In addition to maintaining our position as experts in the specialty of Los Angeles earthquake retrofitting, LA Seismic Construction has over the years expanded our services, thanks to numerous requests from satisfied customers, so that we can now say that we have on board experts in foundation, drainage, waterproofing, framing, and concrete. As a result of these skilled experts, we are able to deliver many complex projects involving multiple construction disciplines without the need of any subcontractors.
Our philosophy is to run every project with a personalized, hands-on approach. This means we do not farm out projects to sub-contractors and stamp our name on it, hire salesmen that just shoot out the same proposal to every client, or give you the run around if you want to reach a member of our management team. Our team of experienced construction specialists will ensure that your project will be kept to the same high standards we always maintain, whether your project is a minor repair, or a massive commercial project.
The Team
John "Tag" Fanning
VP Sales
Tag is originally from Colorado. A self-described “adventurous soul” and Vietnam veteran of the 173 rd Airborne brigade. He came to us after more than 30 years in historic restoration, and an 8-year stint in the chimney repair industry as a F.I.R.E certified inspector. With his extensive background in the construction industry, we are happy to have Tag as our manager of sales and scheduling. He will be your first point of contact when you call-in, and will continue to be one of your main points of contact throughout the process with updates for you on the progress and scheduling of your project. If you ever have any questions, Tag is just an email or phone call away.
Renato Sebastian

Renato is our hands on overseer of all aspects of your project, from your initial inspection, through the permitting and planning phase, to the overseeing of the delivery of your project. If he isn’t the one personally delivering those aspects, he is in tight coordination with the experienced employee or employees who are.
