Construction work packages
The work, from
start to finish.
These packages help define a complete construction scope. The agreed proposal identifies which items, specialists and responsibilities are included in your project.
Excavation & material handling
Cut and fill, stripping, trenching, spoil classification and disposal, suitable imported fill and access for plant.
Formation & verification
Layer placement, moisture conditioning, compaction testing, subgrade acceptance and recorded hold points.
Trade interfaces
Finished levels, slab preparations, retaining foundations, underground drainage and staged access for follow-on work.
The engagement
What the work
can involve.
We tailor the scope to the decision you need to make, the available information and the project stage.
- 01
Review survey levels, cut and fill intentions, earthwork access and existing services.
- 02
Identify the geotechnical evidence needed for excavation, founding conditions and compaction.
- 03
Define material suitability, spoil disposal, imported fill and testing requirements.
- 04
Coordinate levels and construction sequencing with concrete, retaining, drainage and landscaping.
Agreeing responsibilities
The engagement confirms the delivery team, professional responsibilities, required registrations, approvals, insurance and review arrangements before work begins.
The output
Defined work.
Useful deliverables.
- Scope and quantity assumptions for the proposed works
- Ground, access and existing-service information gaps
- Design and investigation requirements to resolve before delivery
What to bring to the first discussion
Site survey, geotechnical reports, levels, access details and available service information.
You can start with an outline of the information you have. We will agree the document list and transfer method before you send confidential material.
Working together
A scope you can review.
The proposal identifies tasks, deliverables, inputs, dependencies, exclusions and pricing. Open questions remain visible so the next decision is informed.
