Remember, the construction process may vary based on local rules, soil conditions, and design needs.
Projects with Extensions
29 Beaucroft Lane, Wimborne
The Wimborne residential project, featuring a garage extension, concluded remarkably ahead of time in just 2 days instead of the planned week, resulting in a 56m² double garage. Utilising an 8-ton Kubota x60 Excavator and 17 screwpiles with a 5m average depth, this efficient completion was achieved in collaboration with MPS Building LTD.
22 Crichel Mount, Sandbanks
In our recent residential extension project, 22 screwpiles were installed to strategically enhance the existing garage and terrace area. Executed by the dedicated team at Screwpiling UK for MPS Building Contractors, the renovation achieved an average depth of 6 meters for each 76mm diameter screwpile within a remarkable 1-week timeframe, surpassing expectations. The project utilized our 8-ton Kubota excavator, demonstrating efficiency and excellence in execution.
Rosebank Way, Acton
Nestled in North Acton, West London, within the London Borough of Ealing, Rosebank Way is at the heart of a dynamic revitalization, fuelled by the upcoming Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) from Acton Main Line. Serving as a catalyst for ongoing investment, the transit project is set to boost connectivity and has the potential to elevate property values and spur economic activity.
4 St James’ Villas, Winchester
Our recent residential extension project highlights our dedication to quality and efficiency. Despite challenges posed by restricted access, our specialized equipment, including the 65kg 700H Handheld Torque, enabled us to install 22 screwpiles at an impressive average depth of 6 meters.
