Residential Construction in Taunton SW — Foundations for New Homes

Residential construction substructures are needed for new homes, extensions, and any residential project where the below-ground works must be engineered and coordinated. They suit homeowners, developers, and builders who want a single point of contact for the substructure.

Typical residential construction projects include new homes, extensions, basement conversions, and residential retaining walls.

Residential construction covers the below-ground works that support a home: foundations, basements, retaining walls, drainage and groundworks. We deliver these packages from initial design through to DPC, with the engineering handled in-house. Because we design and build the substructure as one package, the residential project moves without waiting on a third party, and the responsibility sits with one contractor.

We assess the ground and the structural requirements, then design the substructure package. Our team constructs the foundations, basements, retaining walls and drainage, carrying the work through to DPC. We coordinate with building control throughout.

Residential construction substructure cost depends on the foundation type, the ground conditions, the size of the structure, and the below-ground complexity. Access and the programme also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.
