Home extensions St Albans Single Storey Rear extension

Project description

Foundation St Albans Home extension: we had a small delay in digging the foundation. 3^rd party wall agreement hasn't been signed since we set up the Site. We had 1-day delay but the client and the neighbor sorted the problem. 1-day delay for us, was not a good start, but we knew that we will recover the time lost. And yes. We were able to dig and pour the foundation the same day and we were back in Schedule – after the building inspector gave us the green ligh.

St. Albans Back extensions foundation – 3 days (including site set up).

Walls to DPC – after 1 day of drying out the concrete we were able to start walls to DPC. We have used Concrete blocks (inner leaf) and Engineering Bricks (outer skin). The Wall Starter kit was installed and we had a second visit from the Building inspector and we were ready to go for Brickwork.
