A groundworks package you can hand over

We are based near Yelverton, and Plymouth sits within our regular South West working area. We work for developers, main contractors, landowners and businesses.

You can use us in three ways:

As your groundworks subcontractor

We take the groundworks package under a main contractor and work to your programme. If anything on site threatens that programme, we tell you early.

As a standalone package

We price the groundworks on their own, with the scope, assumptions and exclusions set out in writing.

As part of a full build

We run the whole job as principal contractor, from bare site to a finished steel-framed building signed off by building control.

Scope

What the package can include

  • Site clearance, demolition and site strip
  • Bulk earthworks and geogrid-reinforced stone sub-bases
  • Excavation for foundations and services
  • Strip foundations, pad foundations and ground beams
  • Blockwork up to ground level
  • Foul and surface water drainage, attenuation tanks
  • Steel-mesh reinforced floor slabs, power floated
  • Concrete yards and perimeter concrete

Before any demolition, the building needs an asbestos survey. We can arrange it as part of the job.

What a full package looks like

On a steel-framed industrial building in Peterborough we did all of it: site strip and earthworks, a geogrid-reinforced sub-base, foundations, surface water drainage and attenuation, the frame and cladding, and a 150mm mesh-reinforced, power-floated slab. That project was outside the South West, but it shows the range of work we can take on for a Plymouth site.
