Specialist Residential Foundation Contractors
The quality of a building is only ever as good as the foundations beneath it. Whether supporting a bespoke luxury home, a basement extension or a multi-unit residential development, every project begins with careful planning, accurate excavation and expertly constructed foundations.
At McGrath Civils, we understand that every site presents its own challenges. Ground conditions, engineering requirements and structural designs all influence the most appropriate foundation solution, which is why we work closely with architects, structural engineers and Building Control throughout every stage of construction.
From the initial site excavation through to reinforced concrete works, ground beams and below-ground drainage, we deliver complete substructure packages that provide a solid platform for the construction works that follow.
Feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help with the foundations works on your project. Email us details of your project (including the site address and scope of works needed) to info@mcgrathcivilsltd.co.uk and a member of the team will contact you to discuss the options available to you.

Working Alongside Architects, Engineers & Developers
Successful foundation construction relies on collaboration long before concrete is poured.
McGrath Civils regularly works alongside architects, structural engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, developers and principal contractors, ensuring every stage of the foundation package is delivered in accordance with the project programme and engineering specifications.
Our team understands the importance of coordination with other trades, maintaining programme deadlines and delivering accurate workmanship from the outset. By identifying potential challenges early and maintaining clear communication throughout the project, we help minimise delays and keep developments progressing smoothly.
Whether we're constructing the foundations for a bespoke family home or delivering the substructure package for a larger residential development, our focus remains the same; quality workmanship, technical excellence and reliable project delivery.
Complete Residential Groundworks & Substructure Packages
Foundation construction is often just one part of a much larger groundworks package.
Alongside specialist foundation works, McGrath Civils provides complete residential groundworks services including site clearance, excavation, basement construction, reinforced concrete structures, below-ground drainage, retaining walls and external works.
Many of our clients appoint us to deliver the entire substructure package, providing a single experienced contractor from the earliest stages of excavation through to a completed foundation ready for the superstructure.
