Ground Screw & Screw Pile | Supply & Install

BaseDrive delivers end-to-end ground screw foundation systems — from supply through to precise installation.

We work in line with project plans and structural requirements, and where plans aren’t in place, we can provide the design and screw specifications to get your project moving quickly and with confidence.

Suitable for residential, architectural, and light commercial projects.

Designed to Align with Your Project

We work directly from your plans, drawings, or engineering specifications to ensure every screw is positioned and specified correctly.

Our team collaborates with builders, architects, and engineers to deliver foundations that integrate seamlessly into the overall build.

  • Installed to plan with precise positioning
  • Alignment with structural and load requirements
  • Clear communication across all stakeholders

No Plans? We Can Design & Specify

If your project doesn’t yet have plans or detailed specifications, we can take care of the foundation design for you.

We assess your project and provide screw selection, layout, and spacing — giving you a clear and build-ready solution.

Our screw piles are the perfect choice.

  • Ideal for decks, cabins, and smaller structures
  • Fast turnaround to get your project moving
  • Removes uncertainty at the early stage
  • Projects where no building consent is required

Our Process

iconbg1
Enquiry & Project Overview

Get in touch and tell us what you’re building. We’ll discuss your site, structure type, access, and timeline to understand what’s required.

iconbg3
Site Assessment & Screw Selection

We assess ground conditions, load requirements, and layout to determine the correct ground screw type and placement.

iconbg2
Precision Installation

Ground screws are mechanically driven using specialised machinery into the ground with millimetre accuracy.

iconbg4
Ready to Build

Once installed, the foundation is immediately load-bearing and ready for construction.
No curing time, no delays — your builder can start straight away.

8 Frequently asked
‍questions About Screw Pile Installations

It depends on the type and scale of the project.
For smaller structures like decks or lightweight buildings, consent may not always be required if they fall within exemption criteria. However, larger or structural builds typically do require consent and supporting engineering.

We can guide you on what’s likely required and work alongside your designer or engineer to ensure everything aligns with council expectations.

Yes — we regularly work from architectural and engineering plans.

We ensure screw selection, depth, and positioning align with the design intent and structural requirements, and we coordinate with your team to ensure everything is installed accurately on site.

No problem — we can help.

For smaller or early-stage projects, we can design the screw layout and specify the correct system based on your structure and site conditions. This gives you a clear, build-ready starting point without needing full plans upfront.

We use specialised machinery to install screws with a high level of precision.

Each screw is positioned in line with the design layout, ensuring alignment with your structure and reducing the risk of rework during construction.

Installation is typically much faster than traditional foundations.

In many cases, ground screws can be installed in a single day depending on the size of the project, allowing construction to begin immediately after.

Ground screws are suitable for a wide range of soil conditions, including sloped or difficult access sites.

However, ground conditions do vary — so we assess each site to ensure suitability and determine the correct screw type and installation method.

We work alongside engineers to ensure your foundation meets structural and compliance requirements.

Where required, we can support documentation and certification to provide confidence for councils, builders, and project stakeholders.

We use high-quality, engineered ground screws designed for structural applications and New Zealand conditions.

Our screws are selected based on load requirements, soil conditions, and project type — ensuring they perform reliably over the long term.
