Common questions
Groundwork packages: your questions.
Will you take on the full groundwork package?
Yes. One contractor from site strip to slab avoids gaps between packages and gives you a single price. We will also price individual elements if you are letting the work in parts.
Will you work to our programme and site rules?
Yes. We work to your induction, permits, site hours and reporting, and we supply RAMS before we start. If a date in the programme is not achievable, we will tell you at the outset.
Do you use your own plant?
Yes. All of our excavators, dumpers and tippers are our own, so the work is not delayed waiting for hired machines.
