Foundations:
Whether you’ve found your ideal plot, designed your dream house and got the planning permission or, maybe you are just starting to consider your options, the process of design and build is a challenge - but don’t be daunted by the technicalities, there are hundreds of professionals and experts who will be available to advise you, or undertake the work, at every stage of your build project. It can be a frustrating time when you are sinking money into a hole with no visible rewards but, planning and foresight should help everything to run smoothly.
It is important to investigate the ground quality of a plot before you purchase. Check records and ask around locally to make sure that it doesn’t have an unsavoury history. For example, an infill site may be an expensive option because it is like that it will require piles. A proper survey with test bores holes - to assess the type and quality of the ground - is sensible precaution and should ensure that there are no surprises when the digging starts.
Don’t forget to plan access for your services - water, waste (foul and surface) gas, electric and telephone ducts - before you start work..
Roads:
Maintenance work may include repairing potholes and cracks, widening roads, digging access trenches for supplies such as gas, telephone or water, and re-surfacing roads so that they are safe for motorists and pedestrians.
Road workers use hand tools such as picks and shovels to clear and dig out the area they are working on. Heavy jobs need a whole range of specialized machinery, such as diggers and rollers. They also mix and spread materials such as crushed stone, tarmac and concrete. The surface is then compacted with rollers or vibrators to make it even and smooth.
