Research by leading surveyors, Davis Langdon LLP in March 2007 has shown that constructing a foundation with Celcon Aircrete Foundation blocks is up to 24% cheaper than cavity aggregate block foundations. For more detail download our Foundation Costing Factsheet (below) which explains the detail of the research.
For a full explanation of the suitability of aircrete for foundations then download our Foundations White paper written by Cliff Fudge, H+H UK's Technical Director and President of the British Masonry Society.
