HOFT HOMES GROUND SCREWS is a family run business with over 35 years experience of the Civil Engineering and Building Industries. We have been looking for an economical and more environmentally friendly way of constructing a foundation without the need of concrete.

We spoke to many companies and manufacturers. As a result we have teamed up with RADIX, a company based in Scotland. RADIX were the most helpful and knowledgeable people we spoke to. They are at the forefront of the ground screw pile industry and are leading the way with design of new products. We feel with their design and manufacturing and our knowledge of groundwork and building, we can bring you unrivalled advice and service.
