Start with a properly defined groundworks package. Hunter Construction undertakes excavation, foundations and concrete works for homeowners, self-builders and contractors in Clitheroe, Whalley and the wider Ribble Valley, with enquiries welcome across Lancashire.
Discuss site clearance, reduced-level excavation and preparation for a new extension, home or commercial slab. Tell us about access width, existing surfaces and where excavated material can be handled, so the quotation reflects the site.
Footings and raft foundations
We can price foundation construction against your current structural drawings and specification. Include foundation dimensions, levels and any ground investigation information. The required foundation solution and engineering design should be established for the project before construction.
Concrete slabs and ground floors
Send the proposed floor build-up, slab thickness, reinforcement and finished levels. We will agree which preparation, sub-base, insulation, membranes and concrete works belong in our package and which are by others.
Drainage within the package
New foundations often involve foul and surface water drainage work. Include the drainage layout and any known existing services. We can discuss the interfaces between the foundations, drainage, external levels and the next stage of the build.
Access and occupied properties
For work beside an existing home, tell us whether the property will remain occupied and which routes must remain usable. For main contractors, include programme dates, site rules and package boundaries.
What to send for pricing
Send the site postcode, architectural and structural drawings, specification and target dates. Photographs of the access and work area help us identify what needs a site visit before a firm quotation.
BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
YOUR QUESTIONS
Can you price groundworks only?
Yes. Send the scope you need, such as excavation and foundations, groundworks to slab level, or a combined drainage and external works package.
Do you work on smaller extensions?
Yes. We welcome enquiries for smaller domestic extensions as well as new homes and commercial work. The access, drawings and site conditions determine the package.
LET’S DISCUSS YOUR WORK
Send your site postcode, photographs or drawings, a short description and your preferred timescale. We will discuss the scope and what is needed to prepare a quotation.
