On this page, our groundworks company explores three key considerations for constructing a new basement for your home. They include:
We never sign off on a job without 100% customer satisfaction.
One of the most important things to consider when building a new basement is the position of the local council. New basement conversions are complex and pricey endeavours that should not be initiated before you have a firm grasp of the building regulations in your area.
Failure to adhere to building control stipulations could result in severe consequences, including a hefty fine, prosecution, or even having to fill in your new basement. Our groundwork contractors are happy to offer advice on the planning application process, so get in touch today if you live in Brighton to find out more about our retaining walls and reinforced concrete. We are also happy to advise on our restricted access piling, foundation installations and underpinning services.
Insulation is hugely important when building any new structure, as it allows you to maintain a more comfortable ambient temperature all year round. This saves you money on energy costs and is much better for the environment as it reduces your carbon footprint. The experts at our groundworks company always recommend investing in high-quality, insulating materials when building a new basement.
Do you want your basement to benefit from natural lighting? This must be considered early on to make sure that it is incorporated into the planning process from the beginning. Our basement builders tend to recommend having windows as part of your basement construction plan, if possible, as it creates a less stuffy environment.
