Concrete Foundation Specification
Foundation concrete must meet the specification for strength and, where relevant, sulphate resistance. The structural engineer specifies the mix; we order and place to that specification with proper curing. This guide summarises what is typically specified.
Most teams review concrete foundation specification when live project risk needs turning into a clear technical decision with practical next steps.

Situations where this applies
Teams usually investigate concrete foundation specification when early warning signs start affecting reliability, compliance, or project timelines. This is often the point where decision makers move from observation into scoped technical action.
Common warning signs
The symptoms below are the most common triggers we see before diagnosis and repair planning.
- Strength class (e.g. C25/30)
- Sulphate resistance if required
- Placement and compaction
- Curing and protection
- We place to specification
What the work typically involves
We use the concrete specified in your design. We provide tickets and cubes for testing.

Practical steps to a reliable outcome
We deliver concrete foundations to specification with documentation.
What drives programme and budget
Cost and complexity usually depend on access constraints, total scope, existing condition, and whether related works need to be coordinated in the same programme window.
How we work through the job
We keep delivery structured so scope, sequencing, and sign-off remain clear.
Step 1: Initial assessment
What this step delivers: Root cause and scope are confirmed.
Step 2: Method planning
What this step delivers: Practical repair strategy is agreed.
Step 3: Delivery and verification
What this step delivers: Work is completed and validated.
