Foundations in Taunton SW — Designed and Built From the Ground Up

Foundation construction is needed for every new build, extension, and structural alteration. We suit residential extensions, commercial new builds, and any project where the foundation type must be matched to the ground rather than assumed.

Typical foundation projects include new-build housing, residential extensions, commercial structures, and foundation packages where the ground requires a specific engineered solution.

Foundations are the structural base that transfers a building's load to the ground. We handle the full range — strip, raft, piled and pad foundations — selecting the right type based on the ground conditions, the structural loads and the site constraints. Because we design and build in-house, the foundation is specified for the actual ground, not a generic assumption.

We assess the ground and the structural loads, then design the foundation type and specification. Our team constructs the foundation — whether strip, raft, piled or pad — and carries the work through to DPC. We coordinate with building control at every stage.

Foundation cost depends on the type required, the ground conditions, the size of the structure, and the depth to a competent stratum. Access and site constraints also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

How do you choose the right foundation type for my site?

We assess the ground conditions and the structural loads, then specify the foundation type that suits both. On weak or variable ground we may recommend piles; on good ground a strip or raft may suffice. The choice is always based on the actual site, not a generic assumption.
