Ideal Foundations

Ideal Foundations is a specialist foundations company based in Australia, with a focus on screw piers and piling services. We cater to the residential and commercial building sectors, providing solutions that offer great value to our clients. With our unique position of offering a screw pier system that is both efficient and cost-effective, we have established ourselves as a leader in the industry.

At Ideal Foundations, we pride ourselves on our systemised approach to business. From R&D testing to every screw pier installation, we have designed systems that give our clients the confidence to build with our products time and time again. Our screw pier system offers builders greater control when dealing with inclement weather, unforeseen site conditions, and other challenges that can arise during the construction process.

We are committed to using the latest equipment and software to manage our systems and measure their effectiveness. We believe that measurement is key to ensuring that our systems are operating at their highest capacity, and we invest heavily in equipment and customised software that gives us this confidence. We don't call it a system if we can't measure it.

Our screw piers offer a range of benefits for residential construction, including the ability to handle any soil type, as well as sites with water tables, tree preservation, contaminated soil, fill, and soft or collapsing soils. Our piers are core-filled with concrete or finished with a galvanised coating, extending their design life and ensuring that they are built to last.

Our Services

At Ideal Foundations, we offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of residential and commercial builders. These services include:

• Screw Piers: Our screw piers are an off-the-shelf modular system with a bolted male/female connection, including the helix. This allows for the installation of variable lengths with no delays, making them a fast and efficient solution for builders.
• Above Ground vs. Concrete Tech: We offer solutions for both above-ground and concrete tech foundations, providing builders with the flexibility they need to complete their projects on time and on budget.
• Residential Services: Our screw piers are ideal for residential construction, offering a cost-effective solution for sites 1.5m and deeper. We cater to single and multi-dwelling sites, and offer a range of higher capacity piers for more demanding projects.
• Commercial Services: Our screw piers are suitable for commercial construction projects, offering a reliable and efficient solution for builders.

Why Choose Ideal Foundations?

At Ideal Foundations, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service and support. Our screw pier system offers a range of benefits for builders, including:

• Fast Lead-Time: Our off-the-shelf modular system allows for a 5-day lead-time, meaning that builders can get out of the ground faster and keep their projects moving.
• Efficient Installation: Our screw piers can be installed in just one day for the average residential house footings, allowing builders to continue with the construction of their slab straight away.
• Measured Process: Every Ideal screw pier is installed to the designed depth and capacity, with readings logged, documented and then reviewed by our engineers before signing off foundations.
• Deep Savings: By switching from concrete piers to screw piers, builders can save money on their foundations, particularly for sites where the foundations need to go deeper than 1.5m.
• Flexible Solutions: Our screw piers are suitable for a range of soil types and site conditions, offering a flexible solution for builders.
