Six guarantees for a solid foundation

Professionals in veranda construction know it better than anyone: a canopy requires a foundation. Yet this is often underestimated. FIRST BASE Ground Screws helps installers to build more efficiently and with certainty. Sales Director Camile Gisbers explains how the Solid 6 guarantees make the difference.

What is the thinking behind the Solid 6?

Camile: “Over the past ten years, we have learned a lot from our customers. They don't want empty promises, they want clarity. With the Solid 6, we have brought together six guarantees that always apply. It gives you the confidence that you can rely on us.”

Why are these guarantees so important to change makers?

Camile: “A porch or canopy is visible work. The end customer expects it to be stable and long-lasting. An incorrect foundation can cause hassles: subsidence, misalignment or even damage. Our guarantees and technical advice ensure that you can avoid this. CE/UKCA-certified screws and any calculations according to Eurocodes give extra certainty, fast delivery and the possibility of loaner machines prevent downtime, and our technical experts are always available for advice. So you can build faster and deliver with confidence. That is exactly what the Solid 6 summarizes.”

How does that work in practice?

Camile: “Each location requires a different approach. In sandy soil short screws are often sufficient, in weaker soils you need longer ones. We can advise which screws are needed for the specific soil and, where necessary, calculate the loads according to Eurocodes. At the same time, we make sure that your project never comes to a standstill: orders are delivered quickly from stock and if your screwing machine needs maintenance, you can use a loaner if possible. So you see that our guarantees - from technical support to proven durability - are not an empty marketing slogan, but daily practical application.”

Why would a porch builder who has used concrete for years now switch?

Camile: “The two main reasons are time and convenience. Installing three screw foundations for a porch can be done within an hour. Moreover, there is then no need to dig, drain the soil and let concrete cure or set a concrete pile. With screw foundations, the porch stands firm and solid the same day.’’

How is FIRST BASE different from low-cost carriers?

Camile: “Cheap foundation piles without certification may seem attractive, but they carry legal and financial risks. At FIRST BASE, we combine the lowest price guarantee with demonstrable quality. That makes us reliable in a market where stability literally makes the difference.”

Five years from now: how will foundations change?

Camile: “’Measuring is knowing’ is becoming increasingly important. Clients, permit issuers and construction partners are increasingly asking for proof that a foundation has been placed correctly. By registering with our equipment, we can prove this. We continue to develop this fully.”

Finally, what would you like to pass along to the change building professional?

Camile: “Foundations are not a capstone, but the foundation. If the foundation is right, the rest of the project runs smoothly. With the Solid 6, we provide six guarantees that you can always rely on. That gives security, so you can fully focus on your job.”
