Foundations

Structural work focuses on the most important part of your property: the structure or backbone of your building. If this fails or has problems, your entire building is put in jeopardy and this can come with a big bill. If you get structural work done correctly on your home, you can avoid costly repairs in the future. A building's structure is one of the first parts built, so it is also one of the first things that is subject to decay and damage.

Ability Property utalise several methods of building foundations;

Strip Foundation:

This is when the foundation is poured into strips covering the base for all external and internal walls, chimneys or any other load bearing structure.

Raft Foundation:

Concrete is poured over the whole area of the house making it look like a big slab and strong enough to carry the total weight of the structure.

Piles Foundation:

This not used as much as strip or raft foundations in Ireland but it involves the construction of the house on top of concrete piles situated on different locations to carry the weight.
