QuickBase is a multi-award-winning flooring, beam and pile system. A totally unique lightweight foundation system for conservatories and lightweight structures, revolutionising conventional construction methods.
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.
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:
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.
Shire QuickBase meets and exceeds local building control regulations, ensuring that your foundation system is fully compliant with building standards. 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.
QuickBase is an excellent foundation system for a range of single-storey structures, including extensions, conservatories, and modular buildings. Its flexibility and robustness make it the ideal solution for various construction needs. By supporting a wide variety of roof, wall, and floor configurations, QuickBase ensures that your structure is secure, compliant, and built to last.
