The engineer gets to work and sets out the corners of the building using pins in the ground and from there, the 360 driver (digger driver) knows where to start digging the trench for the foundation...ready for the concrete to be poured..

The finished houses will look simular to this when complete and should take about 12 weeks to complete weather dependant and labour available at the time...
