Earthquake Repairs & Scoping

foundation replacement - TAYLORS AVE, CHRISTCHURCH

MCLA Construction completed this comprehensive foundation replacement for a Christchurch property damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes. Drawing on our extensive earthquake repair experience across the region, we managed the complex process of replacing compromised foundations while preserving the existing structure.

This project required careful engineering assessment, EQC and insurance coordination, and precise execution to meet modern seismic building codes. Our team worked with structural engineers to design and install new reinforced foundations, ensuring the home now exceeds current earthquake standards. Throughout the project, we maintained clear communication with the homeowners and insurance assessors, managing all documentation and compliance requirements.
