Croft Structural Engineers can help throughout the project:  Our main role is the design and construction of basements but we have tailored our service to help with Basement Construction Method Statements.  Unlike our competition (geotechnical or environmental companies) Croft Structural Engineers will be helping you throughout the project.  It is not uncommon that the engineer at the first meeting producing the Basement Construction Method Statement will be the one undertaking the final design and then inspecting the construction.  Such integration in the projects life has proved invaluable on numerous occasions.

Our Basement Construction Method Statements are designed to help with two processes.  They are not simply a tool to achieve planning.  We have designed our Basement Construction Method Statement to be a useful tool in the final proposed developments.  We are looking to work with and continue the project from the planning stages through, design, party wall and final construction.  As engineers we will be integral to all of these crucial stages.

At Croft Structural Engineers we have completed over 300 basements.  The practice has been involved in over 100 Basement Construction Method Statements.  We have a wealth of knowledge that allows us to undertake and complete Basement Construction Method Statements.
