Graven Hill have now completed the Golden Brick phase of our build, which means we have started our foundations and are connected to mains drainage and services.
Each plot is an individual building site on the massive building site that is Graven Hill, which does mean to some extent we can be hampered by what’s happening around us.
But despite delays getting started on the Golden Brick it was finished surprisingly quickly, enabling our home manufacturer Facit Homes to take control of the site.
The beam and block foundations are great for insulation
The insulated beam and block system we chose for our foundations is not something that Graven Hill’s contractors would normally install, so we came to a special arrangement with them to allow Facit Homes to complete certain elements.
Graven Hill excavated the ground and poured the concrete strip footings, installed the underground drainage and built the blockwork walls on which the floor beams will sit.
