HOME EXTENSIONS
Fast Foundations offers the perfect ground screw foundation solution for companies specialising in home extensions, particularly those utilising steel frame construction. Our ground screw installation service provides a robust, efficient, and eco-friendly foundation option that aligns with modern building practices and regulations.
One of the main advantages of using ground screws for home extensions is the strength and stability they offer. Our ground screw foundations are engineered to support the weight and demands of steel frame structures (circa 150kN per screw), ensuring a solid and durable base for any extension. Additionally, our installation process includes ground pull test reports, which conform to building regulations, giving construction companies and homeowners peace of mind that their extension is both safe and compliant with all necessary standards.
Speed is another key benefit of our ground screw foundation system. Unlike traditional concrete foundations, which can be delayed by weather conditions or require significant time to set, our ground screws can be installed quickly and efficiently, regardless of the weather. This means that project start dates are not hindered by inclement weather, allowing for a more predictable and streamlined construction timeline.
Our ground screw foundations also minimise site disruption. The installation process does not require extensive digging or the use of heavy machinery, and there’s no need for concrete mixing on site. This results in a cleaner, less intrusive build, which is particularly beneficial in residential areas where minimizing noise, dust, and debris is a priority.
In an industry increasingly focused on sustainability, our ground screw foundations offer an eco-friendly alternative to concrete. By eliminating the need for concrete, we reduce the environmental impact of the build, aligning with the growing demand for greener construction solutions.
Choosing Fast Foundations for your home extension projects ensures a strong, fast, and environmentally conscious foundation solution that meets modern building standards while enhancing the overall quality and efficiency of the build.
