Common questions

Answers for site preparation enquiries.

What is civil site preparation?

It is the groundwork before the visible finish: excavation, shaping, base preparation, compaction and access coordination.

Why does preparation affect the finished job?

If the ground and base are not prepared properly, asphalt, car parks and driveways can fail sooner.

Can site preparation be quoted before final surfacing?

Yes. Send plans, photos and intended final use so preparation can be assessed properly.
