No interface between trades, so the pour is not held up waiting on another subcontractor.

Core coverage
Commercial groundworks and civils packages across London and the South East.
All areas we coverReinforced concrete frames, cores, retaining walls and watertight basement boxes — formwork, steel and concrete all run by our own teams.
RC work goes wrong at the interfaces: between the formwork gang and the steel fixers, between the steel and the pour, between the waterproofing and everyone else. We run all of it, so there is nobody to blame and nobody to wait for.
On basements that matters more again. A watertight box is only watertight if the detailing, the pour sequence and the joints are all treated as one job rather than three.
No interface between trades, so the pour is not held up waiting on another subcontractor.
Joints, water bars and penetrations detailed and installed as part of the same package.
Pour sheets, cube results and inspection sign-offs handed over as we go.
Scope is taken from the engineer’s drawings — this is what it usually contains.
Columns, beams and suspended slabs formed, reinforced and poured.
Stair and lift cores, pits and bases cast to tolerance.
Reinforced walls with drainage and waterproofing detail.
Basement boxes with joints, water bars and penetrations detailed.
All formwork set and all reinforcement fixed by our own teams.
Pumped or skipped placement, compaction and curing.
The same sequence every time, so you know what happens next and who owns it.
We price from the engineer’s drawings and set the pour sequence, including the joints and the temporary works.
Formwork set, aligned and checked for line, level and plumb before any steel goes in.
Reinforcement fixed to the drawing with correct cover, then inspected before the pour is booked.
Concrete placed, compacted and cured, with cubes taken and pour records kept.
Formwork struck at strength, finish checked, and the structure handed over with its records.

01895 725125The concrete detailing that makes a box watertight — joints, water bars, penetrations and pour sequence — is ours. Applied membrane systems are usually a specialist warranty package, and we install alongside them so the detail is not split across two contracts.
Yes. Formwork and steel fixing are both in-house, which removes the interface where most RC delays start.
Sequence and joint positions are agreed with the engineer before we start, then pours are booked against the programme. We would rather move a pour than rush one and end up with a cold joint in the wrong place.
Whatever the specification calls for. Line, level and plumb are checked at formwork stage and again before the pour, because that is the only point where correcting it is cheap.
Yes, and often do. Pump access, delivery timings, crane sharing and noise windows all get planned into the sequence rather than discovered on the day.
