Shire QuickBase Services: Your Go-To Solution for Lightweight Foundation Systems

At Shire, we specialise in providing top-tier Shire QuickBase services, offering innovative, modular foundation solutions for various building needs. Whether you're constructing an extension, modular building, or conservatory, QuickBase foundations offer unmatched quality, sustainability, and cost efficiency.

What is Shire QuickBase? A Revolutionary Foundation System

Shire QuickBase is a lightweight, modular foundation system that combines advanced construction techniques with environmental, technical, and economic benefits. It’s based on helical screw piles that support part-recycled plastic ground beams, connected by push-fit joints to create a robust frame. This innovative foundation solution ensures high strength and durability, all while eliminating the need for mass concrete foundations.

The ground beam is filled with specially formulated non-shrink grout, creating a high-strength composite beam capable of supporting the structure. The frame distributes the load of the building through the piles to suitable bearing strata, providing a stable foundation, even in challenging soil conditions.

Key Benefits of Shire QuickBase Foundations:

  • Innovative Modular Design: Reduces the need for heavy excavation.
  • High Strength & Durability: Ensures long-lasting foundation support.
  • Sustainable Construction: Utilises part-recycled materials for reduced environmental impact.
  • Faster Build Time: Minimises construction delays and disruption.

Cost-Effective Foundation Solutions for Every Project

Shire QuickBase is not just an innovative solution; it’s also a cost-effective choice for your foundation needs. Particularly beneficial for projects in confined spaces, our foundation systems minimise excavation work, reducing the need for costly spoil removal. QuickBase is ideal for sites with challenging soil conditions, tree roots, or limited access, making it the perfect choice for urban or tight locations.

Unlike traditional foundation methods, QuickBase does not require wet trade finishing, which significantly reduces labor costs and shortens the build time. Our approved QuickBase installers are expertly trained to lay these foundations quickly and efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption and faster project completion.

Why Choose QuickBase for Your Next Project?

  • Suitable for Challenging Ground Conditions: No need for deep excavation or complex soil treatment.
  • Fast Installation: QuickBase can be installed quickly by approved installers.
  • Lower Labor Costs: Eliminates the need for costly wet trade work.

Our design engineers work closely with local authorities and private building control bodies to ensure that all required regulations are adhered to. Whether you are building a conservatory, extension, or modular building, you can be confident that QuickBase will meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
