Experience That Goes Beyond the Product
Good waterproofing is about much more than choosing the right product.
With more than 25 years of experience across waterproofing design, technical development and construction, BASE brings practical knowledge together with specialist expertise in below-ground waterproofing.
We understand what happens when design meets construction, where systems interface, where details are most likely to be challenged, and where small decisions can have significant consequences years later.
Our experience spans residential, commercial, infrastructure and heritage projects, from keeping existing buildings dry to designing waterproofing strategies for complex new developments.
We don't believe in overcomplicating waterproofing. We believe in understanding the building, identifying the risks and providing clear, technically defensible solutions that can be built, inspected and maintained.
Because the best waterproofing design isn't the one with the most complexity. It's the one that works.

Independent Waterproofing Design You Can Trust
Most waterproofing problems start long before the first membrane is installed.
Ground conditions are overlooked. Performance requirements are carried forward from the last project. Critical details fall between structural, architectural and specialist packages. Then, once construction starts, everyone discovers the gaps.
That is where BASE comes in.
We provide independent waterproofing design and technical advice that brings those decisions together early. We assess the conditions specific to the project, establish the level of performance required, and develop a strategy that is practical to build and clear enough for everyone to understand.
The result is simple: the contractor knows what needs to be built, the design team knows what has been designed, and the client has confidence that the waterproofing has been properly considered.
From private homes and remedial projects to major commercial and heritage developments, our approach is always the same — understand the risk, design for the conditions, and get the details right.
