Any commercial building without a solid foundation is like the guy who skips leg day at the gym. Sure, from the top up he might look strong… but his foundations aren’t sturdy at all!
The foundation is one of the most important parts of any commercial building. It’s the basis for the whole construction, so if it’s in distress, there’s no way the rest of your building can be solid, either.
That’s why choosing the right foundation expert for your new commercial building in Melbourne is imperative. How do you know you’re making the right choice?
In this post, Techniblock explains what you should be looking for in a foundation partner for new commercial builds in Melbourne:
Experience
It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for a mechanic or a hairdresser – you’ll always look for someone who’s had plenty of experience in the field. Why? Well, it’s just logical.
The longer they’ve been around, the more practice they’ve got under their belt at whatever it is they do. They’ve also had time to establish a business with a great reputation, with returning clients who know they can do a great job.
While there’s a lot more at stake with your foundation expert than with your hairdresser, it’s no different in terms of choosing a foundation layer with experience. Techniblock has 30 plus years of experience in foundation construction and repairs, making us one of the most experienced teams in Melbourne.
Range of techniques
Different commercial buildings and different soils often require different foundation techniques. As a building owner, it’s so important you choose a foundation expert who’s experienced in a range of foundation laying techniques, from screw-piling to underpinning. Techniblock has a vast knowledge of foundation construction and repair and are experienced in several different methods – not just one or two.
Cross-disciplined
It also helps to know that your foundation specialists are cross-disciplined in their line of work. Sure, one team might be able to construct a concrete slab – but can they do foundation repairs? Are they experienced in underpinning methods? Have they retro-fitted basements? Techniblock are contractors for foundation construction, repairs and modification, making us a super cross-disciplined team in the foundation industry.
Price
It’s important to pay a fair price for a great job. That’s one of Techniblock’s cornerstones as a business: we offer the highest-quality commercial foundation construction at a fair, affordable price and offer a 10 year warranty on all our workmanship and materials giving you complete peace of mind.
