Basements

When it comes to basements, we generally come across three types.
Each type will have similar construction methods, which must be handled correctly to ensure success.
However, this does not mean each project is the same.
Every project we come across will have its own set of challenges, meaning we treat each project individually and will asses all aspects of the project and its foundations to create a game plan specific for each project to guarantee a successful basement conversion.

Existing House/New Basement

Type one is an existing building where the customer/owner wants to create a basement; this requires the whole building to have its foundations to be lowered to an appropriate depth.
To do this, we would slowly and strategically start excavating the ground beneath the building to gain access to the existing foundations; once exposed, we can then undertake the underpinning of the foundation.
This method of underpinning allows us to safely lower the level of the foundations while ensuring the existing structure is always stable with no risk of damage or collapse.
This process would be done for the entire footprint of the building until it is all lowered to the desired depth set by the architect.

Existing Building/Existing Basement/Cellar

In type two, there is already a sub-surface space, either made due to a large subfloor, created due to ground level, or there is already a basement/cellar in place.
In this situation, the reason for needing a conversion is that the existing basement/cellar/subfloor void is not deep enough to make a comfortable/ spacious or liveable space.
For these reasons, the basement floor needs to be lowered; this requires a similar type of underpinning as in type one but would not need to be as deep due to a void already being placed.

Newbuild

In type three, the basement is included in the construction of a newbuild house.
This construction type is relatively the most simple as there is no existing structure to work around.
During the construction of the newbuild, the basement area would be excavated first, creating the space for the foundations to be installed.
Once the basement foundations, floor and walls are formed, the rest of the above-ground construction can be undertaken and completed.
