About Us
Groundworks done properly, from the ground up
We take on the below-ground package as a whole — so you deal with one contractor who is accountable for setting out, levels, drainage and the finished result.
Our Story
Practical construction experience, applied on site
Shane Blanche Groundworks Construction is a Carlow-based groundworks contractor working across Co. Carlow and the surrounding counties. The business is built on hands-on site experience across private house sites, multi-plot developments, drainage schemes and commercial external works — the everyday work that decides whether a build runs smoothly or stalls.
What never changes is the approach. Ground conditions, access and buildability are thought through before a machine ever arrives on site. Work is sequenced so your follow-on trades are not left waiting, and the site is handed back clean, level and correct — the way you would want to find it yourself.

How We Work
Values you can actually see on site
Reliable Project Delivery
Work is planned, resourced and sequenced so your programme keeps moving. You always know who is on site and exactly what is being done.
Quality Workmanship
Levels checked, falls right, backfill done properly. The parts nobody ever sees are the parts that decide whether the rest of the build behaves.
Experienced Approach
Real construction knowledge applied to ground conditions, access and buildability before the first machine arrives — so problems are solved on paper, not on your budget.
Professional Equipment
Machinery matched to the site and the task, so the dig is accurate, the ground is left workable and you are not paying for over-excavation.
Clear Communication
Straight answers on scope, timing and cost — at quotation stage and every day the job is running. No surprises at the end.
Commercial & Private Capability
Equally at home as a groundworks subcontractor on a main contractor's site or working directly for a private client on their own project.
Our Process
Four straightforward stages, start to finish
- STEP 01
Get in Touch
Send us the project details — location, the type of work, and any drawings you already have. It takes five minutes.
- STEP 02
Discuss the Work
We talk through scope, access, ground conditions and timing so nothing is assumed and nothing is missed.
- STEP 03
Quotation & Planning
You receive a clear quotation setting out exactly what is included, with the works planned around your programme.
- STEP 04
Complete the Work
The agreed works are carried out to standard and the site is handed back clean, level and ready for the next stage.
