Foundations — General contractor — Professionals
Foundation leads need design information and a ground-risk assessment. Providers should not select a standard solution solely from a domestic project label; qualify service locations, excavation access and the process for unexpected conditions.
Service scope
Construction of the designed foundation package transferring building loads to suitable ground. Scope depends on the site investigation, structural design, levels and service interfaces; the catalogue entry does not prescribe a foundation type, depth or excavation method.
What is normally included
- Groundwork for a specified foundation design
- Coordination of required inspections
- Agreed foundation construction and records
What is not included
- Choosing foundation dimensions from floor area alone
- Ignoring buried services or uncertain ground
Qualification checks
- Review the foundation design
- Check available ground evidence
- Identify buried service interfaces
- Confirm inspection responsibilities
- Agree spoil and unexpected-ground treatment
Quote guidance
Itemise the specified groundwork, materials and disposal with measured assumptions. Keep investigation or redesign outside the construction allowance unless included, and set out how unforeseen obstructions will be recorded and priced.
Lead risks
- Ground conditions may differ across the footprint
- Spoil classification and haulage can change the allowance
