What Are Sub Structure Works?
Sub structure works refer to any construction activity that takes place below ground level. This area is often considered a great unknown within the construction industry, where unforeseen challenges can lead to increased costs and extended timelines. At Brockham Builders, we recognize the importance of addressing these issues upfront to ensure project success.
The Importance of Pre-Construction Surveys
To mitigate complications associated with sub structure works, we strongly recommend conducting thorough soil surveys, drainage CCTV surveys, and trial digs. Ideally, these should be completed prior to planning or immediately after planning permission is granted. By having these assessments in place, clients can benefit from our discounted rates off the overall build costs.
Our Expertise in Superstructure Construction
Once the sub structure is prepared, the focus shifts to the superstructure of the building, which comprises the walls, floors, windows, and roofs. We embrace modern construction technologies, such as timber frame construction and structural insulated panels (SIPs), to enhance building efficiency. Our services include stick builds, ideal for smaller or logistically challenging sites, and timber panels that arrive pre-fabricated and ready for assembly, allowing an entire house to be constructed in just a week!
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, our lead project manager, Reece Long MCIoB, ensures that every project is expertly managed from start to finish. For a seamless building process, consider our fully project-managed service for both sub and superstructure works.
