Foundation

Protection of the buildings against rising dampness from the ground is of utmost importance as it provides many benefits, comfort and long life being the most important of them. Water logged areas need special attention, while other new construction also requires care in view of changing conditions in future. We follow British code of practice No. CPJ 02: 1973 entitled:
