Universal Home Build has extensive experience with numerous basement constructions, from 300-year-old listed buildings to new build schemes. For examples of our completed projects take a moment to view our case studies.

The provision of basements or cellars to new housing will dramatically improve the value of your property. Typically expect a 300% return on investment in London and 200% return on investment in the Home Counties.

Qualified Structural Engineer

A structural design of the building is required to satisfy the requirements of Building Control. This will need to be carried out by a qualified Structural Engineer. Universal Home Build can manage the entire process for you by employing Structural Engineers, Architects, Designers and Surveyors (if you prefer UHB will work alongside your own appointed Professional).

Every form of basement construction has different waterproofing requirements. Universal Basement Waterproofing is a national expert in this area. (please see our Branded Waterproofing section of this website).

Our Surveyors can designer the best cost-effective schemes as part of the planning process considering the method of construction under consideration. Universal Basement Waterproofing is expert in the design and construction of value-engineered water-resistant basement structures.
