TPOs and How Screw Piles Can Help
Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) can be a nightmare when you want to extend your home or build in a specific area.

Building Timber Framed Houses on Screw Piles
Timber framed houses are enduringly popular. Construction is faster. The build isn’t weather reliant. And there is no need for a drying out period. But the ultimate success of the build depends on the foundation type. In areas where there is high moisture retention, timber frames have a tendency to rot, if not properly treated […]

But there are some scenarios that call for a combined approach. Where a […]
Can You Use Grade Beams with Screw Piles?
One of the most useful applications of screw piles is when you need to build on unstable soil. Without them, creating strong footings can be almost impossible.

Can you Use Screw Piles with Concrete Rafts?
When you think of building with screw pile foundations, they’re usually as an alternative to concrete. But what if you’re working with a reinforced concrete raft, in an area with very little space?
