Groundworks FAQs

As expected, the timeframe of a groundworks project will vary on the size and complexity of the project. A project may take up to a year if it’s a large complex project. Any complications with the ground that require additional preparatory time will increase the project turnaround time.
The cost of groundwork in the UK varies on what service is required. Foundation laying is a separate service to excavation and each service will cost different amounts. Our team at R.E. Hill & Son can provide you with a free quote for any groundworks enquiry.
Excavation is the process of digging up rock, dirt, soil and any other material and then removing it to create room for any construction purposes. Excavation is an important step in many construction projects including the creation of building foundations, reservoirs, and roads.
Digging is usually referred to as the process of digging up a shallow amount of material to remove small amounts of soil. On the other hand, excavation is where an excavator operative removes large quantities of rock or dirt from the ground for different construction projects.
