Groundwork Contractors in Norwich, Norfolk
Doughty Construction Ltd carries out groundwork as part of its full construction service across Norfolk. Norwich is the county city of Norfolk and one of England's most complete medieval cities, with an exceptional range of historic building stock — flint-flushwork churches, medieval timber-frame and plasterwork, Georgian red brick, Victorian terrace rows, and significant post-war social housing in brick and concrete. Work in Norwich ranges from careful conservation-area refurbishment in the city centre to new-build masonry on the expanding suburban fringe. We excavate to the engineer's specification, form the foundations correctly, and prepare the oversite so that the blockwork and brickwork above has the stable, true base it needs — getting groundwork right is the most important investment you can make in a new build or extension.
Groundwork in Norwich
Good groundwork is the foundation — literally — of a sound build. We excavate to the engineer's specified depth and bearing, form the shuttering, pour and level the concrete, and prepare the oversite so that the blockwork team can start from a true, stable base. In East Anglia, soil conditions vary considerably between sandy Breckland, clay-heavy river valleys and coastal ground — our experience across Suffolk and Norfolk means we understand how the ground behaves in each area.
