Earthworks & Bulk Excavation

Extensive in-house plant fleet delivering bulk earthworks, cut and fill, and site preparation at scale. Established capability across major residential and commercial schemes in the South West.

Why choose us

Bulk earthworks at scale, with the fleet to back it up.

Groundfix self-delivers bulk excavation and earthworks using our own in-house plant fleet — one of the largest in the South West. From initial site strip through to finished formation levels, our earthworks teams handle every stage directly, giving clients programme certainty and a single point of accountability.

Extensive In-House Plant Fleet

We operate one of the most comprehensive in-house plant fleets in the South West. Excavators, dumpers, rollers and specialist equipment — all directly controlled, meaning we mobilise quickly and maintain programme without relying on hired-in plant.

Cut & Fill Expertise

Complex cut and fill operations require careful planning, accurate setting out and disciplined execution. Our earthworks teams have delivered large-scale cut and fill across major residential and commercial schemes, managing volumes, settlements and formation tolerances throughout.

Import & Disposal Management

We manage the logistics of material import and disposal, including waste classification, carrier licences and load monitoring. Clients benefit from a managed operation rather than an uncontrolled flow of materials on and off site.

Formation Ready for Build

Every earthworks package we deliver is finished to formation levels that are accurate, compacted and ready for the next stage of construction. Clean handovers, no remediation required.

How we work

How we deliver earthworks

Site Strip & Topsoil Management

We strip and segregate topsoil at the start of every earthworks package, stockpiling material for reuse or arranging disposal where required. Clean, efficient strip operations set the programme up from the start.

Bulk Excavation & Cut and Fill

Excavation is carried out using our own plant, with material moved, reused or removed as dictated by the cut and fill strategy. Regular survey checks confirm volumes and formation levels as work progresses.

Compaction & Formation

Fill material is placed and compacted in engineered layers to the specified density. Formation levels are checked against design and confirmed before any infrastructure works above begin.

Final Check & Handover

Finished earthworks are surveyed and recorded before handover. We provide the client with confirmation of achieved levels, compaction records and any material documentation required for sign-off.

"What sets Groundfix apart is the ability self-deliver. No lengthy subcontractor chains, no excuses about plant availability. When something needs done, we mobilise. That kind of reliability is hard to find at this scale in the South West and we're proud to be able to deliver where others can't."
