The Wandsworth Eco Build

This contemporary new-build home replaces a tired bungalow with a carefully designed, energy-efficient family house. Set within a conservation area near Wandsworth Common, the project includes sustainable design and low-impact living, featuring reclaimed brickwork, natural timber cladding, and a zinc roof.

Follow the journey as this future-ready home takes shape.

Piling, Ground Beam and Site Compliance Inspections

With demolition complete and the site fully prepared, the project moves into the stages that permanently fix the building’s position. From guide wall installation and piling through to ground beam construction and statutory inspections, this phase brings design, sequencing and compliance together to create a stable, verified foundation for the basement and superstructure that follow.
