frequently asked questions

  • what foundations do I need?
    This depends on the ground the building will stand on. We usually recommend simple pad foundations, approximately 500mm x 500mm. We recommend using six pads for each new unit 6m x 2.435m e.g. one on each corner and one half way along the 6m side (front and back). For uneven ground Jackpad provide the perfect solution.
