CASE STUDY 1
On this 1920’s property in Putney, our Client wanted a design and build service to construct a basement below the entire footprint of their property. The house had an existing small cellar measuring approx. 15M² (161 sq.ft.) with a low ceiling height. The finished basement floor area is 95M² (-1021 sq.ft.) with a ceiling height of 2.6M. The property had a part timber suspended, part solid floor.
The works were started externally, excavating in the front garden of the property, below the front bay window, breaking through and installing the necessary supports before starting the sequential underpinning to the foundations of the property, strictly in accordance with the Structural Engineer’s specification and calculations.
The entire process was carried out by hand to minimise vibration to the property.
