Residential Construction Project New Forest

Construction has now begun at Watersplash Lodge in The New Forest on which we are acting as client side project managers. The proposed single story dwelling sits on a compact site on the banks of a small river and within the roof protection area of a large neighbouring tree.

Traditional foundations within this location would cause significant root loss therefore the use of mini-piles and an above ground slab has been employed allowing the development to proceed.  We have seen a recent increase in the use of Mini-Piles as it offer many advantages over traditional methods. 

The Lodge will be cedar clad and will have a living Sedum roof, fitting into the surrounding natural environment perfectly.
