Can you actually prvide evidence for that? I have seen underpinnig done
roun here and it was certaily not a total ecsalation such as you
describe. Lbour intensive, messy, and a right royal pain, but it took
only about 6 weeks of three blokes to do a similar section.

At a garnd a weekm thats 18 grand...
