Following the demolition of the existing house, the land was clear to build a new family home. A new 5 bedroom house with 4 bedrooms and a garage was constructed
The house has a "Pudlow" waterproof concrete basement slab and retaining walls. Added to this was the limited working space we had to construct the basement between the 2 neighbouring houses. So,, part of the temporary works design to install 64 contiguous piles in order to ensure that there can be no risk of settlement to these properties.
