Groundworks & Foundations – Expert Site Preparation Services

Strong, stable foundations are the literal base of any successful construction project. At Dunhil Constructions LTD, we provide expert groundworks and foundation services for new builds, house extensions, loft conversions and commercial developments.

Poor groundworks can lead to costly future problems such as subsidence, cracking or damp. Our experienced team ensures every project starts with properly engineered, fully compliant foundations.

Our Groundworks Services Include

Site clearance and demolition

Excavation and earth moving

Trench fill and strip foundations

Raft and piled foundations (for challenging ground conditions)

Drainage systems and soakaways

Concrete slab laying and reinforcement

Retaining walls and landscaping preparation

We work on all soil types, including clay, sand and areas with high water tables or proximity to trees, using the most appropriate foundation solution for each site.

What We Offer in Residential New Builds

We construct everything from individual custom homes to small and medium-scale residential developments. Our projects include 2–5 bedroom family houses, luxury detached properties, and multi-unit residential buildings. Every home is designed around your lifestyle, with open-plan living spaces, modern kitchens, luxurious bathrooms, ample natural light, and smart home-ready features.

We focus on creating homes that are not only beautiful but also practical, energy-efficient, and future-proof. From the foundation to the roof, every element is carefully planned and executed by our experienced team.
