Residential Projects We Handle
House Extensions
Most Cardiff homeowners add value and space through extensions.

Proper foundation design and installation is essential for extension success, ensuring structures are safe and building control approved. Our understanding of Cardiff building control requirements ensures smooth approvals throughout your extension project.
We coordinate with architects and structural engineers, managing excavation, foundation installation, drainage connections, and site restoration. This comprehensive service takes complexity out of extension projects, allowing you to focus on other aspects while we handle professional groundworks delivery.

We handle complete site development from clearance through to final external works, installing all foundation systems, drainage infrastructure, service connections, and access roads. Our project management approach ensures groundworks progress smoothly, supporting construction commencement on schedule.
We coordinate building control inspections at each critical stage, provide detailed documentation, and maintain regular communication with your architect and builders. This professional coordination ensures new build groundworks foundation subsequent construction phases successfully.
