Case study

What made this one interesting

The challenge

Foundation depths varied across the site, from around 1.0m on some plots to 2.1m below finished floor level on others, all to the structural engineer's design. January 2023 brought waterlogged ground that limited access and slowed the block and beam floors. The site also mixed three home types, with bungalows and houses going up together.

How it was handled

We coordinated Building Control, the warranty and the full set of testing and energy work, with 22 inspection visits through the build. Foundations, floors, brickwork, roofs and first fix were each looked at on site. When the ground was too wet to walk, progress was still recorded with photos from a distance.

The result

By September 2024 all internal and external works were complete, with drain tests witnessed. Fire doors and smoke detectors were fitted and working, and roof tiling was finished with a mechanically fixed ventilated ridge.
