Structured Building Projects From The Ground Up
Broken down into 7 key areas
1) Ground
The benefits of foundations only started to become apparent in the Victorian age. You can build on as well as over water! Soft ground must be measured for strength. Puddles, reeds and water plants will give you a good idea of what is down there. Always start with a test to see what the ground is like then check out the environment.
2) Foundations
These simply fall into 5 groups:-
Block
Piled
Rafted
Rock
Strip
Block and strip are probably the cheapest with rock, rafted and piled following up.
3) Above Groundworks
Anything that you can see from the slab (floor) upwards, canopies, portal frame buildings or factory prepared structures.
4) Access and Natural Light
Windows, doors and rooflights.
5) Servicing
Supply of power and water. Removal of waste (and ‘run off’ water)
6) Insulation
All materials to prevent heat loss through the walls, roof or floor.
7) Fitting out
The installation of:-
Services
Communications Systems
Welfare Systems
Administration System
Access Systems (Lifts)
Door Schedules
Lighting
Furniture
Heating
Office and Process Equipment
Alarms and Security
For every key area we have specialists.
This includes engineers, trades, designers, professionals, manufacturers and installers.
