Groundworks

A complete groundworks package that takes your site from stripped ground to a level, load-ready platform — with one team accountable for all of it.

Tractor and excavator moving earth on a groundworks site for Shane Blanche Groundworks, Carlow

Overview

What this service covers

Everything you build above ground depends on what happens below it. We deliver the substructure as one coordinated sequence — dig, drainage, foundations and slab — so your follow-on trades arrive to work that is set out accurately, finished to level and ready to build on. No gaps between subcontractors, and no argument about who owns the levels.

What is included

  • Setting out from drawings and levels
  • Muck away and material handling
  • Strip, trench fill and pad foundations
  • Below-ground drainage and ducting
  • Sub-base preparation and compaction
  • Oversite slabs and hardstanding

Why it matters

One contractor responsible for the entire substructure package. Getting this stage right keeps your programme moving, makes inspections straightforward, and saves you the cost and delay of remedial work once the build is above ground and far harder to reach.
