Reading a lot of articles in the press recently about Basement Extensions.
Would really like any information of how the works are done.
I class myself as well clued up on structural alterations ie taking out ground floor walls internally and externally, propping buildings above and inserting relevant steels.20plus years experience.
Not that I would ever contemplate doing one.
Just intrigued how they go about the works involved.
Really appreciate any information.

Can't help really, but was reading an article in the mail the other day when a incompetent builder did one on a ground floor flat and the whole house fell down :dizzy:

.
I am a builder too. I would think it's just about reading drawings.

I am certain like any job there is possibly little more to basement extensions than reading drawings.
