BASEMENTS

The MPD team is predominantly made up from a civil engineering back ground in confined space excavation, with an in-depth knowledge in form-work, deep drainage, and ground work.

Managing Director Liam McManus, has 19 years’ experience in London based civil engineering, where his basement expertise comes into the fore.  Unlike many recent basement start-up companies who have jumped on the band wagon, or like many established companies who have now added basements to their supposed capabilities, Liam has led teams in some of the most complex confined space digs...

Actually being the person who digs the under-pinning foundations, constructs the retaining walls, which form the foundations of all basements. Liam's expertise as someone who has literally been at the coal face of the digs, provide a level a care and knowledge that most contractors simply do not have, ultimately giving clients a level of reassurance that others cannot provide.

 

Let’s not hide the fact, that basement excavation construction is a highly dangerous business in the wrong hands. Recent media coverage of mass subsidence, and unfortunately 

Fatalities coupled with an array of other incidents are testament to that. Employing contractors whom are not miners by trade, not from a civil engineering background, has and does lead to serious problems. MPD prides itself on successfully providing what others can’t... delivery of safe expansion to your family home. 

 

Serious stuff aside.. Basement digs are one of the most rewarding aspects of construction, we genuinely get satisfaction from both the work, and creating something from nothing for our clients.

 

Creating a basement in your property is the decision of the brave opportunist who knows how to seriously increase value and create space in the their home... we at MPD relish these partnerships

 

 

MPD provides simple guidance to the end user, starting with the end product in mind

 

  • We, along with our residential planning advisors review the space, create a design, and submit the application to the local planning department on your behalf.

 

  • Our Architect and structural consultant provides the details to which we build too.

 

  • Once the local authority documentation is complete we set a proposed start date with you the customer. 

 

  • We erect hoarding to segregate the works from you the home owner and to create a safety barrier from the public... We install the conveyor belts...  then we begin digging.

 

  • Liam and his site team will Project manage the entire works from inception to delivery, and be the public interface, orchestrating deliveries, muck-away, traffic management, site safety, productivity, and quality assurance.

 

We understand the importance of space in London, with every square foot created we create value and of course rewarding space for the end user, you guys.
