Foundation Solutions for Every Type of Build
Reliable Foundation Design
At Midland Structural Design, we provide robust, cost-effective foundation design solutions for residential and small-scale commercial projects across the Midlands and beyond. Whether you’re constructing a new property, adding an extension, or dealing with complex ground conditions, our tailored foundation designs form the critical base for a safe and successful build.
Bespoke Foundation Solutions
Foundations are one of the most important elements of any structure. Our experienced structural engineers assess every site on its individual merits, taking into account soil conditions, load requirements, site constraints, and nearby structures.
We design a wide range of foundation types, including:
- Traditional strip and trench-fill foundations
- Raft foundations for poor ground or variable loads
- Piled foundations for deep or unstable ground
- Ground beams and ring beams
- Retaining structures and reinforced concrete bases
All designs are fully compliant with the latest Eurocodes and Building Regulations, and are presented clearly to support your contractor or builder during construction.
Supporting Extensions & New Builds
For residential extensions and new builds, we provide foundation designs that are compatible with the superstructure and tailored to suit both budget and ground conditions. We also offer guidance on foundation depth, suitable materials, and reinforcement where required, ensuring your project progresses smoothly from the ground up.
Working with Challenging Ground Conditions
We have extensive experience working with clay soils, sloping sites, trees in proximity to foundations, and previously developed land. Where required, we can liaise with geotechnical engineers and review soil investigation reports to determine the most appropriate foundation strategy for your site.
