Overview

What this service covers

Foundations are set out from your drawings, checked against levels and poured with the specified mix and reinforcement. Just as importantly, the work is sequenced so engineers and building control can inspect at the right stage without your programme standing still waiting on them.

What is included

  • Strip and trench fill foundations
  • Pad and pile cap foundations
  • Raft and reinforced slabs
  • Steel reinforcement fixing
  • Substructure blockwork to DPC
  • Beam and block floor support

Why it matters

Substructure built to drawing, first time, ready to sign off. Getting this stage right keeps your programme moving, makes inspections straightforward, and saves you the cost and delay of remedial work once the build is above ground and far harder to reach.
