Ground Screws For Builders & Capable DIY Projects
Whether you’re building professionally or managing your own project, the right foundation system gives you speed, control, and structural certainty from day one.
BaseDrive supplies engineered, structural-grade ground screws to builders and capable DIY clients who want a smarter alternative to concrete — with the right support to ensure it’s done properly.
Ground Screws For Builders
When access is tight, soil conditions are inconsistent, or excavation becomes messy and expensive, ground screws give you control without relying on wet trades or cure times.
And because you’re purchasing supply directly, you maintain margin on the foundation component of the build.
We review plans, discuss load requirements, consider site conditions, and recommend the appropriate screw size and layout.
- Stay in control of your programme
- Avoid concrete coordination and delays
- Keep projects moving
- Add margin to a structural component
- Offer a modern solution to clients
Our Range Of screws Meet All Your Needs
We supply a comprehensive range of structural-grade ground screws in six diameters:
- 63.5mm
- 68.0mm
- 76.1mm
- 88.9mm
- 114.3mm
- 139.7mm
In general, the larger the diameter, the greater the load-bearing capacity and stability.
Preliminary load tables are available for early-stage sizing, with engineering support available for project-specific verification and compliance requirements.
Where required, formal load-bearing reports can be produced to align with relevant standards and New Zealand Building Code considerations.
If you’re unsure which configuration suits your project, we’ll work alongside you and your engineer to ensure the correct, compliant specification is selected.
DIY — With Responsibility
Ground screws are not a landscaping product.
They are load-bearing structural systems.
If you’re installing yourself, correct installation is critical.
We provide guidance on selection and layout — but it’s your responsibility to ensure installation meets structural requirements and any applicable building or engineering standards.
When in doubt, we recommend professional installation.
Foundations are not the place to experiment.
