Successful basement construction begins with intelligent design and rigorous planning. We provide technically robust, construction-ready basement design packages tailored to complex sites and high-value homes.

Integrated Basement Design & Engineering

Basement Structures North deliver a fully coordinated design and planning service focused on buildability, risk mitigation and long-term performance. Working alongside RIBA architects and chartered engineers, we develop structural layouts, excavation methodologies and waterproofing strategies specifically for complex basement environments.

Our designs are led by a named CSSW specialist in accordance with BS 8102:2022, ensuring that groundwater risk, site conditions and future use are addressed from the outset. This approach reduces construction risk, programme delays and long-term maintenance issues.

Planning Strategy & Technical Submissions

We support clients and design teams through the planning process with basement-specific technical input. This includes construction methodology statements, basement impact assessments (BIA), construction traffic management plans (CTMP), construction management plans (CMP) and Section 61 considerations where required.

Our experience working with local authorities across Cheshire, Yorkshire, the North East and other affluent northern regions ensures proposals are clear, compliant and technically defensible.

Design-Led Basement Construction

Reducing risk before construction begins

Every basement we deliver is underpinned by a detailed design process that prioritises ground conditions, temporary works sequencing and structural integrity. All temporary works procedures follow BS 5975-1:2024, with appointed Temporary Works Coordinators and Supervisors.

This disciplined approach allows us to progress seamlessly from design into basement shell & core construction, minimising uncertainty on site and safeguarding neighbouring properties.
