Our expertise when it comes to foundations
Our expertise spans a wide range of foundation types. Our experienced and award-winning team is adept at tailoring solutions to suit various soil conditions and structural requirements, ensuring that each project is built on a solid and reliable foundation. With a commitment to quality and precision, we deliver foundation systems that meet the highest standards of stability and durability.
Common foundation options we can help you with
Slab Foundations
Ideal for flat, stable soil conditions, these consist of a single concrete slab poured directly on the ground.
Strip Foundations
Continuous concrete footings used for load-bearing walls, perfect for basements and some single-story structures.
Basement foundations and Walls
Constructed from poured concrete, concrete blocks, or precast concrete panels, these walls create a waterproof underground space.
Raft Foundations
Ideal for large structures or soft soil conditions, distributing loads evenly over a wide area.
Pile Foundations
Deep foundations used for unstable soil or heavy structures, employing driven piles (e.g., concrete, steel) that transfer weight to deeper load-bearing soil layers.
Trench Fill Foundations
Excavated trench filled with concrete, providing a solid base for structures.
Underpinning Foundations
Concrete foundations built in small 1m sections to stabilise existing structures.
Drilled Shafts or Caissons
Deep, watertight concrete-filled shafts for strong support in challenging soils.
