Case study

What made this one interesting

The challenge

Three builds shared one site: a new house, a new bungalow and a two-storey extension to the existing house. The ground was medium shrinkable clay, and water had to be pumped out of the trenches before concrete went in. The work ran in phases from 2023 into 2026.

How it was handled

We made nine inspection visits, covering foundations, block and beam floors, roofs and first fix across the phases. Alongside them we coordinated SAP calculations, air tightness and ventilation testing, Energy Performance Certificates and water efficiency calculations.

The result

The first phase finished in November 2023 with all internal and external works complete and the driveway laid. The later phase is still running, and by September 2026 its roof tiling was complete with a mechanically fixed ventilated ridge.
