Outdoor Building Bases

Professional Installation Services for Concrete Bases and Sub-floor Systems

Since 2006 we've constructed dozens of bases for outdoor buildings supplied by a wide range of upmarket garden building manufacturers and suppliers.
These include Dunster House, Warwick Buildings, Heart of England, Browns Garden Buildings as well as many other smaller independent outdoor building companies.
There are many popular types of garden rooms, garden pods, home offices, gyms, saunas, storage sheds and outbuildings, for example. Many companies offer modular design and installation of prefabricated structural modules. But do they carry out the foundational base work?
Ensuring suitable foundations provide a flat and level base for your outbuilding is essential. Manufacturers require flat ground, a solid and suitable base is in place, and clear access to and around the final install position.
If a solid and level base is not in place and insufficient access space prevents installers carrying out works, the likely outcomes are installation delays that most likely incur additional costs!
We ensure the ground is suitably prepared for the right type of base, in place, flat and level ready for installation.  For sloping ground take a look at our ‘dry base’ and ‘eco-friendly’ solution below.

Concrete Bases for Prefabricated Outdoor Buildings

Concrete bases have been the standard for larger sized outbuildings such as summer houses, conservatory's, garden offices, games rooms, or outdoor workspaces.
(For smaller storage or garden sheds and workshops, a lighter concrete base or simple pad, can often be suitable foundation bases.)

As concrete is a major CO2 emissions polluter, we have brought to market a far better, eco-friendly base installation option. It is precision engineered and made to measure to your specific building requirements.

'Dry base' for Prefabricated Outdoor Buildings - ​The 'Eco-friendly' Solution

All our customers now have the option to install an eco-friendly dry base foundation for their outdoor buildings (i.e. not concrete - a major contributor to CO2 emissions). The sub frame modules are pre-fabricated to precise dimensions, brought to site and easily and quickly fitted.

Elevated foundations can be quickly created for large or small outbuildings, and where problems with uneven ground and accessibility would halt plans, the ‘Eco-friendly’ solution is now light weight, precise and overcomes nearly all differing ground conditions.

​Sub frame installation typically involves far less work such as digging out and backfilling with a sub base of hardcore.  It saves the costs and time of hauling away the diggings and then hauling back the hardcore!  It avoids the need to create shuttering and pour tons of concrete!

The Perfect Foundation System for Garden Buildings & Load Bearing Structures

​The lightweight steel subframe is precise and dimensionally accurate giving superior foundations suitable for modular design prefabricated outbuildings.
​For structural strength and stability, lightweight steel has greater load bearing capabilities compared to alternative subframe systems.

A Modular System to Extend Your Creativity Outdoors

 It also gives the creative option for a seamless outdoor space to be extended for seating, barbecues areas, lounges or other enjoyable outdoor living spaces. 
The choice of internal flooring can be very simple or be matched to the outdoor surrounding patio areas with ease.
​It helps 'bring the indoors out and the outdoors in' and gives that lovely finish to your investment.
 
It can often be laid on top of existing surfaces with far less preparatory work and always less than for a concrete base!   
  • Our bases also have the capability to be moved if circumstances change
  • They are fireproof and also recyclable!  So they are a far 'greener' option in all respects
  • Precision engineering for installers that can be certain the base they need is dimensionally sound
  • Structural capabilities for endless design and installation cababilities
