New Build Basements

At MJ Rooney, we specialise in new build basement construction, delivering high quality below ground structures as part of new build homes and projects. Working closely with homeowners, architects and project teams, we ensure the basement is fully integrated into the design and construction of the building from the outset. Our experience in excavation, reinforced concrete structures and structural waterproofing allows us to deliver complex new build basements safely and efficiently.

Incorporating a basement into a new build project provides greater flexibility and efficiency compared to constructing beneath an existing property. With no structural constraints, excavation and construction can be planned more effectively, allowing for improved layout, structural performance and long term durability.
