I have just taken down an old garage due to wall instability. I reckon it was 20 years old.
Having cleared the site to ground level, I want to know how much further I should clear the site. The current foundations are brick to about 2-3 feet below ground.
My short term plan I hope fill the area with concrete and level it off. My longer term plan, when I get some money, is to build perhaps a shed, garage or a summer house/living area.
Now I have a few questions:
- Can I use a concrete foundation as a basis for any future building?
- Should I use the existing brick as the perimiter for the conrete to be filled in.
- What sort of depth of concrete should I be thinking about?
- The area is 6metres by 4 metres. I intent to get a concrete mixer to deliver a ready-mix. How much would it cost for this sort of volume? For the life of me I can't find a price ont he internet.
Thanks, ME
