Navigating the cost of waterproofing and gas protection can be a minefield.
From over-specification to poor buildability, we've seen how easily costs spiral when waterproofing and gas protection aren't scoped correctly. That's why at Premcrete we go far beyond traditional product supply or basic pricing support - we offer a fully integrated waterproofing cost consultancy service designed to make your project leaner, smarter and safer from the start.
Whether you're working on a new build, remedial scheme or high-risk building with Gateway 2 requirements, our team brings clarity to every stage - from foundation take-offs to concrete pour sequencing and live spend tracking.
What Makes Premcrete Different?
Unlike many waterproofing suppliers, we have a dedicated in-house QS function that produces detailed, fully quantified take-offs from foundation layouts, general arrangement drawings, and section views. This level of accuracy means we're not just giving you a ballpark figure - we're producing a proper waterproofing cost plan that aligns with your construction programme and reduces risk.
Our waterproofing cost consultancy includes:
- Detailed Material Take-Offs (based on actual drawing sets)
- Sequenced Quotations Aligned with Pour Phases
- Buildability Reviews with Groundworker Efficiency in Mind
- Waterproofing Material Cost Forecasting
- Live Reporting on Spend and Overspend Across Multi-Phased Projects
- Phasing Support for Complex Projects
- Cost Consulting for Gas Membranes and Hydrocarbon Barriers
It's More Than Materials. It's About Method.
Our technical consultants and QDS team work hand-in-hand to evaluate buildability from the start, drawing on years of site experience and feedback from groundworkers. We don't just ask what's possible... we ask what's practical.
We help identify cost-saving opportunities others miss, including:
- Avoiding unnecessary wrapping of pile caps or facing up piles
- Simplifying detailing over contiguous or secant piled walls
- Removing over-specification of waterproof concrete in capping beams
- Proposing smarter sequencing and membrane transitions that reduce time and labour
- Optimising transitions between Type A, B, and C systems
This isn’t just theory. We’ve supported major contractors on large residential blocks, podium decks, data centres, and remedial projects where design complexity, multiple stakeholders, and programme pressure all collide. And we’ve consistently delivered value through our deep understanding of waterproofing and gas protection costing.
