Residential Groundworks Specialists

Groundworks for Luxury Homes & Residential Developments

Whether you're constructing an architect-designed home, delivering a luxury self-build or managing a high-end residential development, McGrath Civils provides specialist groundworks, reinforced concrete and basement construction services throughout London and the Home Counties.


To discuss how we can assist you with the groundworks, RC and/or basement elements of your project, contact us today for a no-obligation initial project conversation.  

Groundworks Specialists for High-End Residential Projects

Building a luxury home requires far more than simply digging foundations. Every successful residential project relies on careful planning, technical expertise and close collaboration between the homeowner, architect, structural engineer and construction team.


At McGrath Civils, we specialise in delivering groundworks packages for luxury homes, architect-designed properties, one-off self-builds and small residential developments.


From initial site clearance and excavation through to foundations, reinforced concrete structures, drainage and basement construction, we provide a complete substructure solution that creates the strongest possible foundation for your project.


With more than 30 years of experience and projects ranging from £100,000 to £5 million, we understand the level of quality, communication and attention to detail expected on premium residential developments.

Our Residential Groundworks Services

We provide homeowners, architects, project managers and construction teams with:


  • Site clearance and demolition
  • Bulk excavation
  • Strip, raft and piled foundations
  • Reinforced concrete slabs
  • Ground beams
  • Basement excavation services
  • Waterproof reinforced concrete structures
  • Drainage installation
  • External groundworks
  • ICF construction support


Whether we're appointed directly by a homeowner or working alongside architects, project managers and principal contractors, every project is delivered with safety, quality and programme certainty at its core.

Working Alongside Homeowners, Architects & Project Managers

We understand that every project is different.


Some clients approach us with planning permission already secured, while others involve us much earlier to help assess buildability, construction sequencing and the most practical approach to delivering the groundworks package.


We regularly collaborate with homeowners, architects, structural engineers and project managers throughout the construction process, ensuring every stage of the substructure is delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with the project specification.


By working collaboratively from the outset, we help identify potential construction challenges early, minimise programme delays and provide confidence that the project has been built on solid foundations.
