Foundation works

A construction worker uses a plate compactor to level gravel within wooden formwork for a concrete foundation.

Raft foundations

A large concrete slab that extends to the perimeter or shape of the building you propose to build. This method helps distribute the weight evenly across the ground. Steel mesh is often used.

Pile foundations

Used to reach deeper, more stable ground, with concrete-filled piles connected by ground beams to form a strong base.

Ground beams

Reinforced concrete beams used alongside pile foundations to distribute loads and connect structural elements across the site.

Groundworks play a critical role in the success of any build. Accuracy, planning and attention to detail are essential to ensure the long-term performance of the structure.

The right solution depends on ground conditions, site constraints and the building design. JMC Demolition delivers a range of foundation types to suit different project requirements.

A widely used and cost-effective solution, using a continuous strip of concrete beneath load-bearing walls. Suited to stable ground conditions.
