Frequently Asked Questions About Groundworks in Exeter

Our end-to-end packages cover excavation, engineered foundations, drainage, retaining structures, utilities, surfacing and reinstatement. We self-deliver each discipline with CSCS and CPCS crews so clients only manage one contractor from strip-out to final finish.

Costs depend on access, soil type and specification. As a guide, trench fill foundations in Exeter average £180-£220 per linear metre, while SuDS-compliant drainage starts around £95 per metre. Request a proposal and we’ll share benchmarks from recent EX1–EX6 jobs.

A single-plot extension package (excavation, foundations and drainage) usually finishes within 7–10 working days. Larger infrastructure works such as link roads run over several months. We build programmes around planning conditions, school holidays and developer milestones.

We coordinate with Exeter City Council, Building Control and utility providers, supplying method statements, temporary works designs and as-built documentation. Clients remain the applicant, but we prepare drawings and attend inspections to speed approvals.

Our crews operate daily across Exeter neighbourhoods including Heavitree, Topsham, St Leonards, Pinhoe, Alphington and Marsh Barton, with rapid mobilisation to East and Mid Devon. We schedule call-outs 24/7 for urgent works.

We hold £10M public liability, £10M employers’ liability and contractors all-risk insurance. RAMS, inductions and weekly toolbox talks keep every site compliant with CDM 2015 and client-specific standards.
