The roof is normally the part of a house that people think is most important. While it is a key component, the entire house cannot be built without a solid foundation. From the foundations, footings, excavations and groundworks to the main build and final finishes, the team at L.M.E Construction Ltd manages all stages of construction. Our building contractors are skilled at completing all building services to create a stable base that will support the rest of the build.
You can view the gallery of the first-rate constructions our building company has completed in Bromsgrove, Redditch and all of the surrounding areas. Here, our experts discuss the vital role the foundations play in construction.
The primary, and most important, purpose of the foundations is to keep your house up. Without a solid base, houses would unevenly sink into the ground, causing:
Our properly built foundations ensure the weight of structures is evenly distributed, and builds are fully supported. As local builders, we tailor each foundation to the specific site to ensure optimal results. We take into account all of the ground conditions, set the correct base, compact the area and use the best materials to ensure the structure will be completely supported.
With frequent fluctuations in the environment, it is only natural that the conditions around your home will change. Soil moisture levels will alter, weather conditions will vary, and the earth will move. All of these factors can cause homes to shift over time. If the foundations have been improperly built, houses can break apart, crack or even be demolished. A solid foundation will anchor your home in place and prevent it from succumbing to natural forces. The building contractors at L.M.E Construction Ltd pay great attention to detail during all building work to ensure homes in and around Bromsgrove and Redditch are safely set in place and won’t move.
A strong and well-sealed foundation will help keep bugs and insects that live in the soil out of your home. Foundations will also create a barrier between timber construction elements and termite infestations that can cause serious damage.
Homes can be damaged by a variety of factors, one of the most disruptive being moisture. Moisture can weaken the structure of properties and permeate your building. Wet soil can shift and expand, which then puts pressure on the foundations. With sturdy foundations and good drainage, homes will be properly protected from rising damp, mould and other moisture-related issues. The building contractors at L.M.E Construction Ltd expertly manage every aspect of the building work to ensure strong, stable and safe bases and builds.
