Videos of the stages of the Foundations.

I have put together a short slide-show of the foundations being piled, excavated, constructed and concreted, it gives you an idea of the amount of work involved.
Prices quoted for the whole job were in the region of £28-30,000, unimpressed by this we had piling undertaken by a local contractor and took on the ground beam ourselves. Not a job to be under estimated!
But after concreting all the dimensions were spot on (apparently an uncommon occurrence) and local Building Control and NHBC seemed quite impressed.
