What the foundation needs to do

A pod may be a lightweight timber shell or a fully fitted accommodation unit with bathroom, kitchen and heavy internal finishes. Multi-pod sites also need repeatable levels and organised utility routes.

We install concrete or engineered ground-screw foundations to the pod supplier's support drawing, from a single garden pod to a coordinated leisure layout.

Options, assessed properly

Suitable foundation methods

The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.

Ground screws

Ground screws and support frame

Commercial screws with a designed timber or steel subframe can create a promptly usable level platform with limited excavation.

Often worth considering for: Sloping rural sites, multi-pod programmes and buildings with defined support rails

Concrete

Concrete foundation

Pads, strips or a slab can be installed where the pod manufacturer or project engineer specifies permanent concrete support.

Often worth considering for: Heavy fitted pods and projects requiring solid floor or terrace integration

Timber frame

Raised timber frame

A structural raised frame may suit lighter pods when supports, durability and fire requirements are defined by the designer.

Often worth considering for: Individual timber pods on modest level changes

A written price for the approved detail

Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.

Before installation

Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities

Holiday accommodation generally requires planning consideration, site drainage and often building-control or fire input. A reversible foundation does not remove those obligations.

For multiple units, provide a coordinated site plan with pod references, levels and service routes rather than pricing each footprint in isolation.

JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

— Verified Customer, SP6Concrete base for new summerhouse · Checkatrade

"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
