What this work involves
Coordinate ground investigation with foundation design, equipment access and potential effects on neighbouring structures.
- Ground investigation and pile layout
- Equipment and working space
- Neighbouring-condition records and monitoring
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate larger openings with the useful wall sections that remain.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw fixed furniture, sightlines and opening windows together. Allow room for screening so it does not later obstruct cupboards, heaters or passages.
Decide this before construction
Choose layout and storage needs before fixing window divisions. Then coordinate lighting and connection points with the remaining usable walls.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on pile system, quantity, depth and mobilisation. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for piling & piled foundations. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging piling & piled foundations?
The choice follows ground data and structural calculations. A method used next door is not automatically suitable for your project.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
