Access Foundations and Houselifting

Very pleased with the work done by Aidan and his team to remove and replace a half dozen piles and re-level the front of our house. The workmanship was high quality and they left the site spotless upon completion. We really appreciated the level of care and communication through the project. Thanks again.

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.

We had Aidan and team repile our house, and they did a fantastic job. They are hard working professional guys and communicated the process easily for us. I highly recommend 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 own a 1927 Bungalow in Mt Albert with a sketchy past, which unfortunately required a complete re-pile. Not a small job.We got 4-5 quotes and Aidan did a great job on patiently communicating the challenges and walking us through our options (stop gap repairs, staggered phases of work, essential works only, etc). He also outlined the pro’s and con’s on each option and importantly the impacts on the complexity of the consent process.Access were only one of two companies who were prepared to co-ordinate engineers, draftsman's and council consent process as part of an all-in-one service which was great for first home owners like ourselves. When he was quoting, he spent over 20 minutes crawling under the house before crawling out and explaining what he saw to us. He then came back back within 3 days with a detailed quote as promised.We initially went with another company, but after 8 weeks of poor communication and frustration, we switched over to Access. Within 2 weeks he had submitted consent, where we then received a weekly email every Tuesday from Anna just updating us to any changes or just letting us know they were still waiting - peace of mind.When consent was approved, by happy chance they started the very next day. Aidan, Ryan and the team were there every day bright and early, leaving the house and site clean at the end of it. The best part was that at the end of day (nearly every day), I got a text from Aidan about what had happened that day and how they were getting on.Their quote was not the cheapest we saw, but when you’re re-piling your family home - you really don’t want to pay cheap, buy twice. More importantly, their quote and expected tertiary costs (architects, consent, etc) were all within +/- 5% of the estimate, despite a few hiccups along the way which meant we came in on budget.The result is top notch, with the house within 3mm despite spliced bearers, 2 prior extensions 30 years apart, scattered volcanic rock, rotten floor joists and other mickey-mouse work from an old house.Would happily recommend Access Foundations to anyone looking for someone to help with their foundations.(Note some of the actions shots below of before and during work.)

Aidan and Ryan were awesome, they leveled our house and replaced few piles in the process. Such professionalism in their job. Left the site clean and tidy.

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.

I contracted the services of Aidan and the Access Foundations team to remedy subsidence issues under my house. I noticed some doors not closing properly after the summer drought. Aidan thoroughly inspected the area and suggested re-piling the problem sections. The quote came shortly after but it took a while to get the actual work underway because they are usually busy and at the mercy of weather conditions.The good news is, once the work started Aidan kept me informed every step of the way. He is clearly very experienced in flooring issues - he took out the old piles and even explained what was wrong with them. They have the right equipment to minimise disruption - there was no need to cut any flooring out to do the re-piling. He kept the job site tidy and I always felt the house was in good hands. Finally, he spent quite a bit of time putting in packers and levelling the floors to our satisfaction.I am thoroughly impressed with them and have no hesitation to recommend or use them again.

I had a saggy and split bearer which need to be fixed. I also had some uneven floor of the extention part which I thought might be the result of some foundation problem. Then Aiden came，with his professional and honest opinion. His explanation was clear and easy to understand. He provided two options for me to choose for the bearer，and asked me to just watch for the extention part rather than do the job right now. The work is finished clean and tidy now. Feel very lucky to have Aiden from Access Foundation to do the job. Strongly and highly recommend with no hesitation. Thank you Aiden！

Really happy with the retaining wall replaced at our home on the North Shore this week. Clear communication by Aidan throughout, we would highly recommend this company.
