Extending Properties with Barker Morris
Despite being a Chartered Building Company and highly qualified in the construction industry Barker Morris chooses deliberately to specialise in Structural Waterproofing work only. However, they are very familiar with working in close association with proven and experienced basement construction contractors. As a result, they can provide clients with the complete construction package by means of their Construction Consultancy Practice should they require it.
Specific services include acting as the lead consultant and Project Manager for the scheme and dealing with such matters as resolving boundary wall matters, all necessary planning approvals, detailed design, construction and timely completion in accordance with requirements detailed in the agreed scope of works.
With specific regard to Structural Waterproofing, Barker Morris does not align itself with any particular material manufacturer and supplier choosing the most appropriate applications in each case and according to technical, economic and in some cases aesthetic considerations. It is on this basis that Barker Morris is proud to be the only UK Chartered Building Company operating within the structural waterproofing field.
