Our process
Site to sign-off
Three steps, whether it is a machine base for a factory or a treatment plant for a farmhouse.
Step 1: Tell us about the project
Call us or send the drawings. If it helps, we will arrange a site visit.
Step 2: A clear price, with the risks identified
We review the ground conditions, access and programme, and raise anything that could add cost later, while it is still inexpensive to resolve.
Step 3: Delivered and signed off
Built to programme by our own team and plant, and handed over with the paperwork that goes with it.
Why it matters who does it
When groundworks goes wrong
- A late start that delays every trade behind it
- Paperwork that fails pre-qualification
- Problems in the ground found after the price is agreed
When it is done right
One accredited contractor, with its own team and plant, delivering the groundworks to programme and handing it over signed off.
