Smith Construction & Groundworks

Commercial & public sector

Commercial groundworks and civils

Groundworks for hospitals, industrial sites, airports, housing estates, councils and public parks across Essex, London, the Home Counties and Suffolk.

Who we work for

Sites that can't just stop

Commercial and public sites usually stay open while the work goes on. We plan the job around the people who use the site every day.
  • Hospitals

    Work around patients, staff and emergency access, with routes kept clear and noise planned in.

  • Industrial sites

    Yards, bases, drainage and hardstanding where the site has to keep running while we work.

  • Airports

    Groundworks in controlled areas, working to the site's own access, permit and safety rules.

  • Housing estates

    Drainage, ducting, foundations, kerbing and estate roads for new-build developments.

  • Councils

    Paths, kerbs, fencing, drainage and hard landscaping for local authority projects.

  • Public parks

    Paths, edging, fencing, retaining walls and drainage in spaces the public keep using.

Working on live and sensitive sites

Hospitals, airports and occupied estates need contractors who follow the site's own rules. Before we start, we agree access routes, working hours, exclusion zones and how deliveries and plant movements will be managed.

  • Work areas fenced off and kept clear of the public
  • Plant movements planned around pedestrians and traffic
  • Noise, dust and mud kept under control
  • Services located before we dig
  • Site left safe and tidy at the end of each day

RAMS and paperwork

We provide risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) for the work we're doing, and work to your permit-to-work and induction requirements.
