Why Choose SB for Foundations

Why Homeowners Choose SB for Foundation Work

Ground Checks

Ground conditions and soil testing help decide the right footing type.

Depth Set Out

Foundation depths are set using load, ground and engineer details.

Concrete Placement

Foundation concrete, starter bars reinforcement are planned in sequence.

Below Ground Prep

Drainage, damp proof course and substructure works are built in early.

Foundation Options

Choose the right footing for the site

Every site is different. The correct foundation depends on soil conditions, structural engineer drawings, access, drainage and the build above.

Strip Foundations

A common option where soil and structural load requirements allow.

Raft Bases

Designed to spread loads across weaker or less stable ground.

New Build Base

Planned around full layout, drainage and structural design.

Trench Fill

Designed for sites where deeper support is needed below poor ground.

Piled Support

Suited to sites where deeper structural support is required.

Extension Bases

Built to work safely with existing property access.

Foundations Planning

Get the details right before digging

Clear planning helps avoid delays once excavation starts. We look at ground conditions, engineer specifications, drainage, regulations, cost and timing before the concrete pour.

Ground Conditions

Start with the soil

Ground conditions and soil testing help decide whether strip, trench fill, raft or piled foundations are safest for your project.

Engineer Details

Build from drawings

Structural engineer specifications, foundation depth calculations, starter bars and reinforcement should be agreed.

Drainage & DPC

Plan below ground

Drainage, damp proof course and substructure work need planning before the build rises above ground.

Rules & Checks

Know what gets inspected

Building Regulations for foundations may involve checks on depth, drainage, damp proofing, concrete and structural setup before the next stage starts.

Cost & Timeline

Price and timing

Cost of foundations depends on access, ground, depth, footing type, drainage and inspections. The timeline can also change with weather and readiness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first consultation to the final result Sam and his team carried out exemplary work on our large house extension. We were especially impressed with the standard of brickwork in the build. Simon and Sam were happy to adapt and correct as different situations arose, without any hassle. The whole team were a pleasure to have in our home.

As Mum said, it was like having family building it for us, and exactly what she wanted, 100% honest, reliable, friendly team. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you all

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his team recently completed a loft conversion for us, and we can’t recommend them enough. Where we had been let down by other professionals previously, SB construction went above and beyond to ensure that the build was able to go ahead. And wow what a transformation we couldn’t be happier. Not only the build itself is fantastic, but the family run feel and that personal touch made the whole build experience enjoyable.

Suzi & Graham Ireland.
