About us

Groundworks taken as one package, start to finish.

Reef Construction Ltd is a specialist groundworks and civil engineering company with the capacity to operate commercial packages from conception through to client handover. One contract and one team across the whole substructure, rather than a main contractor coordinating six separate trades through the dirtiest stage of a build.

A large share of our work sits on regulated estates — schools running through term time, hospitals with wards still open, food facilities with production continuing next door. On those jobs access, phasing and vetting decide whether a programme holds, and that is where we are strongest.

Commercial Residential Industrial Infrastructure
Why Reef

A small company with a big reputation.

Built through years of successful project deliveries, driven by our team specialised industry experience.

One team, price to handover

The people who price your package are the people who run it on site, so nothing is lost between stages.

Straight answers, early

One point of contact who knows the job, and who tells you when something moves rather than letting you find out.

Budgets that hold

Measured pricing up front, with staffing and sequence planned against it and reported as works progress.

Whole packages, not part trades

Site clearance through to external works under one contract, so you are not coordinating six subcontractors.

Built for live, regulated sites

Schools in term time, hospitals with wards open, food plants still producing, MoD and heritage estates.

Our own plant and crews

Machines, operators and supervision to the programme, so the sequence never waits on a hire slot.

How we work

From your drawings to a cleared handover.

Five stages on every package, so you always know what happens next and who owns it.

Stage 1 Drawings in
Stage 2 Site visit
Stage 3 Price and sequence
Stage 4 On site
Stage 5 Cleared handover
Stage 1 of 5 Drawings in

Send us the plans, the scope and the dates you need to hit. We will tell you quickly whether it is a job for us.

Stage 2 of 5 Site visit

We walk the site and check access, levels, ground conditions and services, so nothing turns up as a surprise once we have mobilised.

Stage 3 of 5 Price and sequence

A measured price with the build order set out and a realistic start date, planned against staffing and plant availability.

Stage 4 of 5 On site

Our own crews, plant and supervision run the works, with one point of contact reporting as the programme progresses.

Stage 5 of 5 Cleared handover

Inspected, signed off and cleared, so your follow-on trades start on programme instead of picking up after us.

Everything below and around the build: site clearance and preparation, bulk excavation, foundations, reinforced concrete works and basements, drainage, concrete flatwork, tank installation, external works and Section 278 highway works. Taking it as one package means one contract and one team rather than coordinating separate trades.

London and the South East of England. We are based at Moorhall Farm in Hillingdon, and regularly work across Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Essex, Sussex and Hampshire.

Both, plus industrial and infrastructure. We have delivered packages for schools, healthcare facilities, food production sites, Ministry of Defence estates and British Heritage sites, alongside commercial, residential and industrial developments.

Send the drawings, scope and the dates you need to hit. We will tell you quickly whether it is a job for us, arrange a site visit to check access, levels and ground conditions, and come back with a measured price and a realistic start date.

Yes, and most of our work is exactly that. We have run packages on operational schools during term time, live clinical estates, hygiene-critical food facilities and secure MoD sites, where vetting, phasing and access control shape the programme as much as the engineering does.

Yes. Our own crews, plant and supervision run the works, which is what stops the sequence stalling while you wait on another subcontractor to mobilise.
