Getting the ground stage right

Groundworks bring the proposed building down to the realities of the site: access, levels, existing drainage and the space available for excavation and materials. These details help shape the scope before the main construction begins.

Our services include foundations, drainage, retaining walls, driveways and concrete works. Tell us whether you need a groundworks package for an extension or new build, or a specific piece of external work.

Foundations and concrete within the wider build

Where foundations and concrete work form part of a designed structure, share the relevant drawings and specifications. The required scope needs to be understood in the context of the building it will support.

It is also useful to identify which parts of the work you want included: excavation, removal of spoil, preparation and the concrete work itself. A clear brief helps avoid gaps between the groundworks and the next stage of construction.

Access, levels and drainage

A narrow side passage, limited space at the front of the property or a garden at a different level can affect how work is organised. Include photographs of the access route as well as the area where the work will take place.

If you have drainage drawings, survey information or details of known underground services, send these with your enquiry. Existing information helps frame the site discussion and identify the questions to resolve before the programme is agreed.

Questions before you start

Can you provide groundworks for an extension?

Yes. We can discuss groundworks as part of an extension project or as a defined package. Share the drawings and the point at which the next contractor or stage will take over.

Do you undertake drainage and driveway work?

We undertake drainage and driveway work. Tell us what needs changing and send photographs so we can discuss the scope.

What affects the quotation for groundworks?

Access, excavation, removal of spoil, the design and the concrete specification can all affect the scope. We price the particular work after reviewing the available information.
