Foundations
No Problem?
Cleaner, Leaner
Solutions Reduced
Costs More
Benefits
Benfield ATT can provide engineered dry foundations
to help reduce foundation costs, avoid bad weather delays
and minimise site clearance.
No Problem?
The Government estimates that 3.8 million more new homes are needed
in the next 15 years. That means building over 100,000 more homes
than the 150,000 a year we build today. But they are also telling
us that we have to accept more legislation, more environmental
requirements, a shortage of good land, more difficult planning
issues, and increased pressure to build on infill land and brown-field
sites.

Your 'cleaner,
leaner' solution
When you choose Benfield ATT to design, manufacture, or erect
your timber frames and trusses, you also gain access to a comprehensive
set of building solutions. An important element in these is the
foundations.
Designed and engineered specifically
as an integral part of your project, when reduction of soil
removal, tipping costs, and time savings are taken into account we
may be able to save you up to 15% -
20% as compared with the overall costs of conventional foundations.
This gets even
better if
you have a very sloping, or brown-field site. Then, we may
be able to make otherwise unbuildable land developable - and
potentially save much more..
Better still, we can reduce or eliminate site levelling
and excavation, minimise or avoid the need to cart soil away,
often overcome the need for soil remediation, and handle local
authority, Zurich, NHBC and similar approvals.

Reduced Overheads
... and more!
Not only do you save time and money on your site works, but our
professional services enable you to make similar savings on your
overheads while at the same time reducing your risks, increasing
programme certainty, and improving your cash flow.
