Challenge
Remodelling required the removal of the main ground floor load-bearing walls and adding a first-floor steel ring beam.
Solution
Specialist propping was employed to take the weight of the upper floors.
Challenge
During work, it was discovered that the new rear extension was flooding internally.
Solution
To resolve, a french drain was installed to remove any surface rainwater into a grey water harvesting tank that pumped to the main drainage system.
