Case study

 A more practical and economic alternative to putting a basement under an existing building is to dig up the garden, build a basement and put the garden back on top of the new basement with a connection back to the existing house. This course of action was adopted in Eckington, Sheffield.

Rather than being fully underground this project was partly earth sheltered, providing garaging for four cars, utility, bath and garden rooms with a glazed link block to the main building. Beco WALLFORM was chosen as the preferred building specification because it offered speed of construction, maximum usable space and high levels of energy efficiency in the completed accommodation. The project was able to be completed from excavation to topping out the roof slab in just three weeks, including waterproofing of the new building.
