Getting a site ready to build

We remove old foundations rather than leaving them in the ground, so the groundwork that follows goes to plan. We supply RAMS before we start, and we can separate contaminated material so it is disposed of correctly.

Common questions

Site clearance & demolition: your questions.

Do you remove old foundations?

Yes. We dig out old foundations and slabs, so they do not cause problems for the groundwork that follows.

Do you deal with asbestos and contaminated ground?

Asbestos removal is licensed work, so we bring in a licensed contractor. Contaminated material we can separate so it is disposed of correctly. If we find anything that was not in the survey, we tell you the same day.

Do you supply RAMS?

Yes. We supply RAMS before we start, and we work to your site induction, permits and hours.
