Foundations and footings

Solid foundations that start with termite treatment, a moisture barrier and blinding concrete, then footings and ground beams.

We build foundations and footings with engineering precision; they are the first stone of quality that lasts. Work starts with approved termite treatment, then a carefully laid polyethylene sheet against rising damp, then blinding concrete, protecting the foundations and extending the life of the building.

What’s included

  • Approved anti-termite soil treatment
  • Polyethylene sheet against rising damp
  • Blinding (plain) concrete
  • Isolated and combined footings and rafts
  • Ground beams and column necks with bitumen coating
  • Backfill compacted in layers

Frequently asked questions

Foundations & Footings

Why treat for termites before foundations?

Termites are hard to treat once the building stands, so the soil is treated before the moisture barrier and blinding concrete are laid.

What is blinding concrete for?

It is a thin layer of plain concrete that gives a clean, level base for fixing footing steel and keeps soil out of the structural concrete.

Who decides the foundation type?

The structural engineer, based on the soil report and building loads. We build exactly what the approved drawing specifies.
