Fewer gaps between ground and building work
One joined-up sequence
We connect clearance, excavation, drainage, concrete and brickwork stages.
Existing property considered
Levels, walls and service routes are checked where old and new meet.
Access planned early
We review plant routes and working space before the site is opened.
Connect the foundations to the existing home
An extension has to meet the existing property above ground while its foundations and drainage work below it. We carry out site clearance, excavation, concrete preparation, drainage and associated brickwork for suitable domestic projects. Before opening the ground, we review drawings, proposed levels, access and known service routes. The relationship with existing walls, thresholds and drains is especially important. By considering the below-ground and building stages together, we can plan a clearer progression from excavation to the point where the new structure begins to take shape.
Keep each construction stage in the right order
The sequence starts with confirming the footprint and clearing the working area. Excavation and drainage follow the drawings and levels, then concrete preparation supports the structural stages above. Brickwork and related building tasks can be included where agreed. Machinery access, spoil removal and storage space all need settling before the garden becomes a building site. We ask for plans, photographs and details of existing services so interfaces can be considered early rather than discovered when a trench is already open.
Frequently asked questions
Which extension stages can you carry out?
We can cover site clearance, excavation, drainage, concrete preparation, brickwork and related building work where agreed. The exact scope depends on the drawings, approvals, site conditions and the stages assigned to other contractors.
Why do you need drawings before excavation?
Drawings establish the footprint, levels and structural intent. They also help us review drainage, services and connections with the existing property. Without clear information, excavation can conflict with later construction.
Can you coordinate drainage with the extension foundations?
Yes. We consider drainage routes alongside the foundation layout and proposed floor levels. Known connections and services need identifying early so pipes, trenches and concrete stages can follow a workable sequence.
