The ground works for the site started in January 2015. For the groundworks we employed a local building firm from Ashburton, called Brayshaw Developments Limited. We have contracted them to build the access road to the houses, the site drainage and the 6 foundations for the houses.
Once the access road had been laid to the house plots the construction of the house foundations could begin.
The house foundations started with removing the topsoil.
Next the trenches for the foundations are dug and concrete is poured in.
A block work wall is then laid in the trenches, which will form a base for the timber frame 
Next the concrete beam and block floor is laid, which involved beams being carried by hand into position.
Once the beams have been carried into position and the levels checked the blocks can be slotted into place
A concrete slurry mix is then brushed into the gaps and the basis of your foundation is finally complete
