Purpose-built foundations for residential developments.
From extensions to self-build schemes, our engineered screw pile foundations can be designed to your engineer specifications
Where we deliver for this sector
We regularly install ground screw foundations for self build homes, rear and side extensions, multi-unit housing and modular dwellings.
- Self build homes: Timber and SIPs frames on engineered pile schedules.
- Rear and side extensions: Zero-dig alternative to strip footings on tight plots.
- Multi-unit housing: Phased pile installs to match your build programme.
- Modular dwellings: Precision level bases for factory-built modules.
Challenges we solve
- Restricted site access on infill and back-garden plots
- Poor ground, made ground or high water tables
- Neighbour sensitivity to noise, dust and heavy plant
- Tight programmes that cannot absorb concrete cure time
