The Complete Process: From Groundworks to Multi-Storey Structures
Every successful building begins below the surface — with precise groundworks, engineered foundations, and expert coordination from the first excavation to the final pour. At ConcreteSF, we specialise in multi-storey concrete construction, offering a seamless, fully managed process that takes your project from groundworks to completion.
Our integrated approach eliminates the risk of miscommunication between multiple contractors, ensuring every phase of the build aligns perfectly for structural integrity, efficiency, and cost control.
Why Integration Matters in Modern Construction
In today’s fast-paced construction environment, time and accuracy are everything. Working with separate contractors for groundworks, decking, and concrete can create costly delays, design inconsistencies, and logistical challenges.
ConcreteSF provides a complete, end-to-end construction service, combining expertise in:
- Groundworks and foundations
- Steel decking and structural preparation
- Concrete pouring and finishing
- Quality assurance and project management
This unified approach ensures every stage supports the next — delivering projects faster, safer, and more cost-effectively.
Step 1: Groundworks — The Foundation of Every Structure
Groundworks are the starting point of every successful construction project. At ConcreteSF, our groundwork services include:
- Site clearance and excavation
- Foundation construction and substructure formation
- Drainage installation
- Reinforcement and blinding preparation
Using advanced surveying and GPS equipment, our team ensures precise levels, stable soil conditions, and compliant drainage systems — setting a strong foundation for all subsequent phases.
Our groundworks division also focuses on sustainability, using recycled aggregates and efficient machinery to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance.
Step 2: Steel Decking — Strength, Speed, and Structural Efficiency
Once the groundwork is complete, steel decking provides the next layer of strength and stability. ConcreteSF supplies and installs high-performance systems from leading manufacturers including MetFloor®, Joris Ide, and TATA RoofDek.
Our decking solutions are selected to suit each project’s unique span, load, and fire requirements, providing a perfect base for concrete slabs in multi-storey construction.
Benefits of our steel decking systems include:
- Rapid installation with minimal on-site waste
- High load-bearing capacity
- Fire resistance up to 120 minutes
- Smooth soffit finishes ideal for exposed architectural ceilings
By combining structural design expertise with practical installation experience, ConcreteSF ensures every floor deck performs to exact specification.
Step 3: Concrete Pouring and Finishing — The Heart of Every Build
With the decking in place, we move to the concrete pouring and finishing phase — where precision and quality truly define the project outcome.
Our teams specialise in:
- Reinforcement placement and stud welding
- Precision concrete pouring and vibration
- Power-floating and surface finishing
- Curing, testing, and quality control
Using the latest mix designs and pumping methods, ConcreteSF delivers strong, consistent results across all concrete structures — from single-level slabs to multi-storey developments.
Step 4: Multi-Storey Structural Construction — Building Up with Confidence
Our multi-storey concrete structures combine form, function, and safety. With integrated design and build capabilities, ConcreteSF can manage everything from structural decking to vertical core formation and slab construction.
We coordinate seamlessly with engineers and architects to ensure every level aligns precisely with the design model. The result is a stronger, more efficient structure built to meet UK Building Regulations, fire safety, and acoustic performance standards.
Step 5: Completion and Quality Assurance
At the final stage, our focus turns to finishing, inspection, and compliance. Every project undergoes a detailed QA review, including:
- Structural inspection and testing
- Surface finishing checks
- Fire and load compliance certification
- Waste management and environmental reporting
ConcreteSF’s integrated project management ensures full documentation and traceability, giving developers and investors complete confidence in build quality and compliance.
