We work closely with homeowners, architects, structural engineers and developers to ensure the foundation design is tailored to the specific requirements of the site and structure being installed.

Design and Planning Support
Ground screw foundations are a great solution for a wide range of projects, particularly where traditional foundations can be challenging, time consuming or impractical.

CHALLENGING GROUND
Ground screws are very well suited to sites where conventional excavation may be difficult, costly or even environmentally sensitive.
This includes:
Sloping or uneven ground
Wetlands and waterlogged areas
Sites with restricted access
Tree Root Protection Areas (RPAs)
Environmentally sensitive locations
Ground screws cause minimal ground disturbance so they can often provide a practical solution where traditional concrete foundations would impact existing landscapes or protected root systems.

GROUND SCREW COMPATIBLE FRAMES AND SYSTEMS
Ground screw foundations can be designed to support a wide variety of superstructures, including:
Bespoke Timber subframes
An ideal foundation solution for timber frame buildings, providing a fast, accurate and sustainable base without the need for extensive excavation. All timber subframes are made by our in-house joinery team bespoke to your project.
Steel Ring Beams & Block-and-Beam Floors
Ground screws can be integrated with steel ring beam systems to create robust foundations for residential, commercial and modular construction projects, including block-and-beam floor installations.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)
Lightweight yet strong GRP structures can be efficiently supported using ground screw foundations, reducing installation time and site disruption.
GreenGrid Root Protection Systems
Ground screws work seamlessly with GreenGrid and similar root protection systems, allowing structures to be installed within tree protection zones while helping to preserve root networks and comply with planning requirements.
GROUND SCREW PLACEMENT AND FRAME DRAWING
Our meticulous team will work with you and the wider project team to create accurate plans for the upcoming ground screw and frame install via SketchUp. All drawings are sent to you for sign off before work begins on site.
