FAQ's
What is the BMSA footing system?
BMSA footings include engineered, concrete-free foundation systems such as RapidStump & Surefoot, designed to support houses, decks, modular buildings and other structures without traditional concrete piers. These systems minimise site disruption and speed installation.
What are the key benefits of BMSA footings?
Faster installation with minimal ground disturbance
No concrete, spoil removal or curing delays
Adjustable and precise levelling
Engineered and certified to Australian standards
Environmentally friendly with lower carbon footprint
Suitable for difficult access and sloping sites
What footing products do you offer?
BMSA supplies and installs a range of systems:
RapidStump Concrete-Free Footing System – a footing and stump solution in one
Surefoot Footings – micro-pile based footing options
StumpRite Adjustable House Stumps & Connectors – adjustable steel stumps to level structures
SurePile Tie-downs & Accessories – anchoring systems for lateral support
Are these footing systems engineered?
Yes — all BMSA footings are designed and certified by registered engineers using site soil data, load requirements and standards like AS/NZS 1170 to ensure structural performance and compliance.
Do these footings work in different soil conditions?
Yes. BMSA footing systems are engineered to account for soil bearing capacity, friction, uplift and loads. Soil reports are used to determine the correct specification and embedment depth for each project.
Can I build immediately after installation?
In most cases, yes — because these systems don’t use wet concrete, builders can begin above-ground work immediately after fitting the footings.
How long does installation take?
Installation time varies by project size and site conditions, but the system is designed to be much quicker than traditional concrete footings — often installed in hours not days.
Are BMSA footings suitable for residential and commercial use?
Yes. They’re commonly used for houses, decks, modular buildings, transportable buildings, sheds, pergolas and other structures where engineered footing support is needed.
Is there a maintenance requirement?
These steel-based footings are durable and galvanised for corrosion resistance, with minimal ongoing maintenance required. For specific maintenance recommendations, consult your engineer or installation team.
