Excavation, foundations, drainage and slabs engineered to structural drawings and signed off by building control.
Getting the substructure right is what keeps the rest of the build on programme.
Each element below can be delivered on its own or as part of a wider project.
Foundation depths and sometimes root barriers are designed to NHBC guidance based on species and distance.
Building control inspects excavations, reinforcement and drainage before each stage is covered up.
Yes — Bearsden (G61) is our home area and where we complete most of our groundworks & foundations work. We can usually survey within a few days, and because we are minutes away we keep site logistics, deliveries and skip placement tidy on residential streets like Kessington, Westerton and Canniesburn Toll.
Costs depend on size, structure and specification rather than postcode, so we price groundworks & foundations from a measured survey and issue a fixed, itemised written quotation with a stage payment schedule. Bearsden and Glasgow projects are quoted on the same rates — there is no travel premium inside Greater Glasgow.
We deliver groundworks & foundations across Bearsden, Glasgow, Milngavie, Paisley, Newton Mearns, Bishopbriggs, Giffnock, Kirkintilloch, Clydebank, Renfrew, East Kilbride, Hamilton and the surrounding Greater Glasgow towns, working from our Bearsden base with Bearsden and Glasgow as our main coverage.
It depends on the property and the council. We deal with East Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire building standards and planning departments, check your address against conservation area and permitted-development rules at survey, and prepare and submit any planning application or building warrant needed.
Yes. Housing stock across Bearsden, Milngavie and Glasgow's West End is mostly blonde or red sandstone, wet-dash render and natural slate, so we source matched materials and lime-compatible mortar rather than patching in cement or modern substitutes.
In Bearsden and Milngavie we can normally survey within 2 to 3 working days, and within about a week across Glasgow, Paisley and the wider area. Surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation.
