💡 What Is the Cost of a Pile Foundation — and Why Is It Expensive?

Our Raft-on-Pile System — The Most Feasible Groundwork Solution by a Civil Contractor in London A pile foundation costs £1,090/m2 including the floor, but it’s more than just concrete in the ground. At AmtaarGC, we deliver a complete structural flooring system — engineered, insulated, and strong enough to hold two Range Rovers per square metre.

🏗️ What You’re Paying For

• Site-specific geotechnical analysis and pile design
• Eurocode 7 structural calculations for raft and shear
• Concrete pour for beams and slab
• DPM + DPC protection and full insulation

You’re not just buying piles — you’re investing in a structural platform that anchors your building and keeps it energy-efficient for decades.

⚙️ Why It’s Expensive

Piling needs specialised machinery, deep drilling, and precision design. Each pile transfers load to stable layers below — handled by engineers, not builders — ensuring safety and longevity.

🧱 Raft on Pile = Ground Anchoring System

Combining piles with a raft creates a hybrid base that:

• Anchors the structure to solid ground
• Stabilises weak soils
• Reduces settlement and cracks
• Is less toxic than traditional deep piling

Perfect for London clay, near trees, or brownfield sites — it’s the most sustainable and cost-effective way to build strong foundations.
