We partner with property developers, investors and commercial clients to deliver robust, compliant basement structures that unlock additional value beneath buildings.

Basement Specialists for Commercial & Residential Developments

Basement Structures North provides developer-focused basement construction services for projects where technical certainty, programme control and regulatory compliance are critical. We are regularly appointed on high-value residential schemes, commercial buildings and mixed-use developments across Northern England.

Our role is to design and construct the basement shell and core, managing excavation, structural works, waterproofing strategy and temporary works in-house. This integrated approach reduces risk, improves buildability and gives developers confidence on complex below-ground elements.

With over 30 years of experience, we understand the commercial realities of development projects — from tight programmes and constrained sites to planning conditions and stakeholder management.

Reducing Risk on Complex Below-Ground Construction

Basement construction presents some of the highest technical and financial risks on any development. Ground conditions, groundwater, neighbouring structures and access constraints all require early specialist input.

We work closely with RIBA architects, structural engineers and client teams to develop buildable basement solutions that align with planning approvals, satisfy warranty providers and comply fully with British Standards including BS 8102 waterproofing and BS 5975 temporary works.

Our team routinely prepares developer-ready documentation including construction methodologies, logistics strategies and neighbour protection measures.
