Digging foundations
The following work has been carried out to a semi detached property:
1. The sub floor has been removed
2. The rear of the house (to the ground floor ceiling) has also been removed. Acrow props have been put in place. Foundations have not yet been dug.
Excavations are due to start next week. Can excavations for a rear and side extension be done safely in the above circumstances?
There are exposed cables. A boiler is connected. Rain is going in. People are living in the house so the electricity is not disconnected. It will take some weeks/months to put a rear back on so it's not secure and there is potentially a fire hazard.
There is no building company involved. It's just the owner directing two men.
