Hi Guys ive been getting quotations in for me basement build... one contractor has suggest top down basement construction ie constructing the basement using the traditional route...constructing a segmented concrete wall carried out in 1.2m strips hence providing a shell for the basement whilst the rest are going down the piling route due to the proximity of the neighboring property
His price for the works has far beaten any other, does his spec look about right for basement retaining walls and rc slab have i missed something has he under specd his steels etc or is it about right.
I haven't had a engineer design anything yet as im toying with the method of build ie piles or as above.
Plan of basement as in my albums ...left side is a existing property that requires underpinning about 12m....towards the right is the neighboring which is at a constant 2m gap, ive had soil report carried out showing no water and good ground.
Thanks again
