Foundations
Whether it’s crafting new driveways, providing and laying attractive garden paving and fencing, or handling drainage systems, large-scale excavation, and building robust foundations, we ensure top-notch quality in every project.
A solid foundation starts with the groundwork
Foundations are one of the most important parts of any building project. They may end up underneath everything else, but getting them right at the beginning is essential. Bluebells Groundworks carries out foundation and footing work for extensions, new structures and other building projects across Kent and East Sussex. With over 20 years of construction experience, we understand the importance of accurate setting out, excavation, ground preparation and concrete work.
Foundation work for extensions
If you’re extending your home, the foundations are usually one of the first major stages of the project. We can carry out the excavation and groundwork required before the construction above ground can begin, working to the specifications provided for the project. Once the foundations are in and the groundwork is complete, the next stage of construction can get underway.
What’s involved?
Foundation work can involve much more than simply digging a trench. Depending on the project, groundwork may include:
- Setting out
- Excavating foundation trenches
- Removing spoil
- Preparing the ground
- Concrete foundations
- Drainage associated with the project
- Ground beams and related concrete work
- Block and beam flooring
- Backfilling and preparation for the next stage
The exact requirements will depend on the building, site conditions and structural design.
Working from your plans
For building projects, foundations are normally designed according to the requirements of the building and structural engineer. We work from the relevant drawings and specifications to carry out the groundwork accurately and prepare the site for the construction stages that follow.
