From residential slabs to complex hillside builds, we deliver top-quality foundation work using a variety of systems and materials to suit your site.

We are experienced in:

  • Ribraft and other floating slab systems
  • Hill site and sloped terrain foundations
  • Type 2A and 2B pile systems, including decking piles and subframes
  • Slab preparation, placement and finishing

We collaborate with engineers, builders and homeowners to ensure each foundation is strong, level, and ready for the next phase.

With just your architectural drawings and geotechnical report, Base Construction can handle the rest. We work closely with certified engineers to organise soil testing, structural drawings (PS1), and ongoing compliance support throughout construction (PS4).

Our experience includes a wide range of soil classifications, including TC1, TC2 and TC3. The result: tailored, structurally sound slab designs that are not only fit-for-purpose but cost-effective too.

“With some recent Investment projects and my lack of experience in the building industry using the Base Construction team made life easy and a great introduction into the development world, very organised and quality was nothing less than exceptional!
I look forward to working with Base again in the near future”
