Groundworks & Site Preparation
We provide professional groundworks and site preparation services across Cornwall, supporting domestic, commercial and development projects of varying sizes. From initial site clearance and excavation through to foundations, concrete works and ground preparation, we undertake the essential work required to prepare sites for construction.
With an experienced team and our own range of plant and equipment, we can carry out individual elements of groundworks or provide a more comprehensive package tailored to the requirements of each project. We focus on safe working practices, accurate preparation and delivering a reliable foundation for the next stage of construction.
FROM EXCAVATION TO CONSTRUCTION-READY
Every construction project depends on the groundwork being carried out correctly. We undertake a wide range of excavation and preparation works, including site clearance, reduced-level excavations, foundation trenches, service trenches and the removal of excavated materials.
Our work also includes foundation construction, trench blockwork, sub-base preparation, damp-proof membranes, reinforcement and concrete oversites and slabs. We work to the relevant drawings and specifications, ensuring levels, dimensions and construction details are followed throughout.
Whether preparing a single building plot, carrying out groundwork for an extension or working across a larger development, we aim to leave each stage properly prepared and ready for the trades and construction activities that follow.
