Groundwork
Doughty Construction Ltd carries out groundwork as part of its full construction offering across Suffolk and Norfolk — preparing sites, forming foundations, and laying the ground-level base that the brickwork and blockwork above depends on.
How we work
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.
What this covers
- Strip and trench foundation excavation and formation
- Concrete foundation pouring and finishing
- Oversite preparation and sub-base work
- Drainage installation and connection coordination
- Site clearance and preparation ahead of build programmes
- Coordination of groundwork and superstructure packages
