    Overview

    Development Enabling Works

    Enabling works that take a site from acquisition to a platform the main build can start from, delivered as one package for developers and investors.

    Scope covers site establishment and hoarding, demolition, strip-out and clearance, excavation, groundworks, foundations, drainage, temporary works, structural alterations and steelwork, utility preparation, access works and construction logistics.

    This is the stage where programmes are won or lost. Ground conditions, buried services and access constraints are the common causes of delay on a development, and all three are cheaper to find now than once the frame is going up.

    What's included

    From acquisition to a buildable platform

    Bought as one package rather than trade by trade, so one team owns the programme up to the start of the frame.

    How we deliver it

    One team, from survey to handover

    01

    Find the unknowns early

    Ground conditions, buried services and access constraints are the common causes of delay — and all three are cheaper to find now than once the frame is going up.

    02

    One enabling package

    Demolition, groundworks, foundations, drainage and temporary works under one programme and one fixed price.

    03

    A managed site

    A dedicated project manager and site foreman run hoarding, logistics and access, with daily updates and weekly reports.

    04

    Ready for the frame

    We hand over a platform the main build can start from — and can carry on as main contractor if you want one team throughout.
