"With the current popularity of basement extensions, it is hard to find a contractor with the experience necessary to undertake what is essentially a structural project. As a structural engineer, I am very acutely aware of site conditions, water tables and the load of existing and adjoining properties. You just cannot take shortcuts when excavating and constructing basements. Only an experienced contractor with specialist knowledge can be trusted to put in place temporary stabilising measures during basement construction whilst undertaking underpinning works and constructing retaining walls for a safe, waterproof, dry and warm basement.
The working partnership with Michael Brady Ltd on a luxury basement extension with pool under an existing four storey building in the Borough of Kensington & Chelsea was one of total professionalism from start to finish. Their understanding of the structural challenges and requirements and their knowledge of technology, materials and the necessary construction methods for basement extensions is as impressive as their ability to work collaboratively."
