Green Farm Lane, Barrow, Bury St Edmunds

Case Study: Green Farm Lane, Barrow

Granite Building Warranties Ltd has recently arranged the latent defects insurance for two new high-quality, 2500 sq ft houses near Bury St Edmunds.  Construction commenced in mid March 2021. We are now pleased to be at DPC on Plot One, with foundations being poured on Plot Two.

The images above and below (1 & 2) provide a very good example of block and beam flooring; demonstrating how it fits structurally on the foundations to create the solid ground floor, enabling a minimum 150mm gap below to ensure ventilation to the sub floor.  This is a recognised building method, quick to install and used extensively in construction. Image 3 shows an example of shuttering, where deeper foundations have been used. Image 4 shows completed strip foundations poured and ready for brickwork.

The houses are being built by regionally renowned Maple Building Services Ltd. Construction is due for completion in November 2021, and will be retained by the owner as long term rental investments.
