Groundworks & Foundations

Before any walls are built or roofs are installed, the groundwork needs to be completed properly. LME Building Contractors provide complete groundwork and foundation services for new builds, extensions and major renovation projects across Lincolnshire. Our team prepares each site to meet current Building Regulations, carrying out everything from excavation and foundations through to drainage, underground services and concrete floor slabs. Every stage is completed with accuracy, creating a stable base for the rest of the build. Whether we’re preparing the ground for a single-storey extension or a new home, we work closely with structural engineers and Building Control to make sure every foundation is built to specification. From the first dig through to the finished concrete slab, we manage the process efficiently and safely, giving you confidence that your project starts on the right footing. Groundworks typically include site clearance, excavation, foundations, drainage, utility trenches and oversite preparation before construction begins
