Access Foundations and Houselifting

After our lounge floor started sagging, we called Access Foundations. From quoting us, to finishing the job, they were professional throughout. (They were the only company we called that actually crawled under the house to see the problem close up!). They installed and repaired a number of foundation piles and fixed the problem completely. The workmen were quick, hard working, and left our house clean and tidy with all mess removed. And everything was done within budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Dealing with Anna and Aidan at Access Foundations made the whole process very easy. They were very responsive, a pleasure to deal with and made everything much easier than I had anticipated. Aidan explained the problems clearly & simply and kept me informed while the were completing the repairs. Was also great with the dog! Would highly recommend using Access Foundations.

Aidan and the Access team have been excellent to work with. Right from the beginning. When Aidan arrived to assess the condition of our house the recommended repairs were well explained. We required underpins at one corner of our house to proceed with renovations. They managed to complete the job in the estimated time and left the property in a tidy state. Aidan kept me updated with their progress during the whole project.

We engaged Access Foundations based on reviews like this one, and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again (although we hopefully won’t need too!). We have a 1960s property which was apparently built on top of an old tree - which lead to us discovering unsupported piles and some massive holes under our home; right next the chimney which had also seen better days. Aiden came over really quickly and put our minds to rest that the house wasn’t going to collapse anytime soon, and let us know that they could also help us with removing the chimney and fireplace. Thanks to them, we have new piles, no rogue tree root holes, no chimney (with replacement weatherboard which was specifically machined - no easy task), new (perfectly matching) corrugated iron roofing where the chimney was, no fireplace, and new floorboards where the hearth was. We’ve been thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, communication, cleanliness, and friendliness of the team at Access Foundations. They’ve done an outstanding job, leaving our home secure and safe again. Thanks Aiden, Ryan, James, and the team!

We are thoroughly happy with the work done by Aidan and his brother. They were committed to the job and went out of their way to ensure a good result. Barry & Liz - Unsworth Heights, North Shore

Aidan and the team did excellent work on the repairs to my foundation block wall and replacement of existing retaining walls. I share the driveway with my neighbours, who commented that the team were friendly and considered. Access Foundation is a very reliable and professional company to deal with. Thanks Aidan and the team!

Great work done by Aidan and the team. Good communication, arrived on time and did what he said he would do plus some more. Repaired two structural piles under my house that were critical to the stability of the wall.

Can’t recommend these guys highly enough. Aidan and team did a great job on remedial re-piling for my house in Saint Johns, communication was great, handled all the council and geotech and structural engineer inspections throughout the job, and left the site clean and tidy which was really appreciated. They took care to make sure was carefully completed given the soil issues, couldn’t be happier with choice of Access Foundations, my thanks to Aidan and the team.

Aidan and his crew did a fantastic no fuss job with efficiency and good communication. They left everything clean and tidy.
I didn't get other quotes for my re-piling job as I was immediately impressed with Aidan's plan and detail of what needed doing and the cost was fair.
I was confident right from the start I had the right man for the job in hand. I wasn't disappointed.

Aidan, Ryan and their team were great to deal with. When quoting, they were clear on the work required, what they would do and how they would go about it. Once they started work they were great communicators so we always knew where things were at. They kept the site very tidy throughout and went the extra mile. It was also clear that they had the necessary experience and knowledge of foundations and what is needed. I highly recommend engaging them should you be looking for a contractor in this area. I will definitely use them again.

Aidan and the team were brilliant for the job at our Kingsland home, which involved strengthening the subfloor and lifting the house. They were super quick at getting back to us, explained the work they were doing in great detail, and did an excellent job! This was super easy from beginning to end, and I highly recommend Access Foundations.

We were shocked to see our house cracking up before our eyes. However once Aidan & Ryan arrived (within a day of our call), they were happy to answer all our questions and put our minds at rest. They explained that the house needed re-levelling and three piles to be replaced.

We were expecting the quote to be moon-beams, however we were pleasantly surprised when we received the quote the next day.

Communication was excellent, we were booked in, they arrived on time, completed the work within the time-frame they quoted, and there was no disruption to our living at all.

Jeff & I highly recommend this friendly team including Anna - she must also get a special mention.

I was so impressed with Access Foundations. The job involved re-levelling the old extension on my house. Not only was the job well executed (my floors are now level!) but there was great communication throughout. From the first inspection for a quote to finding unexpected ground conditions, they kept me informed and asked before there was a change to the methodology and cost.
I wish that service like this was more common throughout the construction industry! I would definitely recommend Aidan and his team.

We sought 3 quotes for our re-piling job, discarded the the bells and whistles version then rejected the cheapest option because it was cheapest only until the job started. We hemmed and hawed about the necessary size of the job, but Aidan was very patient and walked us through all of our options without any judgment being attached to his explanations.

Aidan and Ryan were very clear in what they would do and how. Were very cost-competitive. Listened to what our overall goals were for the project and what was important to us and delivered on that end goal in "spades. "

From the time they started the job, they remained in constant contact and would check at each point if we wanted to do something different as the needs arose rather than just charge ahead. They stuck to the timetable and gave plenty of notice about any changes to them being present on site. We felt comfortable and safe enough to give them access to the house without needing to be present and they did nothing to diminish that trust.

It was also clear that their engineering skills were of the highest calibre too since they were current with code requirements and would exceed them rather than meet them. In doing the job that was asked, they also corrected some historic deficiencies, again without any eye-rolling of practices gone by, and didn't charge any extra for it.

Aidan's attention to detail and pedantic focus definitely worked in our favour and he and Ryan worked well together on site.

The end result was exactly what we asked for, a level house, done with a minimum of fuss and bother, exceeded our specified requirements, done on time and for a fair price with a number of extra elements added in for no extra charge. They did a tidy clean-up job too. It is actually tidier under the house than when they started. These guys are uber-professional, very personable and easy to work with throughout the project. We highly recommend them. Thanks guys.
