Foundations and Excavation
Excavation, footings, raft and pile foundations designed to suit the soil and the structure above.
About Foundations and Excavation
The foundation carries the entire building, so it must match the ground. We excavate, assess the founding level and build strip, pad or raft foundations, with advice on when a deeper or piled solution is needed.
What we do
- Setting out and trench or pit excavation
- Assessment of soil at founding level
- Blinding, reinforcement and formwork
- Concrete placement and curing
- Damp-proof membranes and hardcore
- Backfilling and compaction
What we need from you to quote
- Plot location and a soil investigation report if you have one
- Structural drawings or building type and number of floors
- Slope of the plot and any nearby watercourses
- Known issues such as black cotton soil, swamp or rock
- Site access for excavators
- Planned start date
