Foundations |
|
|
Once
you have assessed the site for the quality of ground conditions,
you will need to think about the type of foundations you are
going to have. The traditional method is the trench fill system.
It is well worth consulting a structural engineer who will advise
on site-specific solutions.
If
you are engaging a local builder then chances are that you will
be building in a traditional form of construction, with blockwork. |
|
|
|
|
|
There
is range of different options available- offering larger
formats and faster build times as well as more unconventional
systems like stabilized building blocks or aerocon blocks.
Take
a look at the local area to decide which is most acceptable
and then talk to a range of suppliers to see what's available
and at what cost.
