At the outset of our engagement in Waterproofing or Gas Protection Design, we will issue our Design Engagement Proposal to the client / groundworker outlining the scope of our Design. Where Design Fees relate to the project, the Groundworker should approve the one-off nominal design fee prior to commencement of detailed design.
By engaging in the design fee, Premcrete are responsible to deliver upon all aspects of design stated within the engagement proposal within the agreed timescales.

Construction Phase
Quality Control & Warranty Issue
Premcrete quality control team are responsible to manage the quality of the installation from outset to completion and raise any issues at the time of occurrence. Issues will either be remediated or agreed with the contractor as a zone to be monitored – Such issues will include attention to concrete compaction. Premcrete are responsible to assist Groundworkers to achieve the required concrete quality, and it is not acceptable for Premcrete to overlook compaction issues or indeed any other waterproofing issue and consequently use this to remove warranty responsibility.
If an issue is not raised at the time, or indeed no issues are present, and yet water ingresses into the basement beyond that which is acceptable to the design – Premcrete will cover associated remedial works under our warranty. Should any hidden defects become manifest (for example excessive volumes of injection resin consumed, indicating voids within the concrete) then Premcrete would look to the groundworkers to support with this cost element.
Premcrete will carry out a final inspection of the substructure once the building is water and weather tight, with a view to issuing a 25 Year Warranty.Any defects at this stage will be discussed with all relevant groundworks personnel and remediated once the responsibilities are agreed.
