Civil Engineering

From engineered foundations to complex site infrastructure, we deliver civil engineering works that keep projects on spec, on schedule and compliant.

Expert Civil Engineering for Safe, Compliant Sites

Strong civil engineering works underpin stable, compliant and long-lasting construction projects.

We deliver civil engineering works that support safe, compliant construction from foundation to finish. Working to engineer’s drawings and specifications, we execute foundations, earthworks, below-ground services and infrastructure that meet Building Regulations and pass inspection.

Every project is backed by quality assurance documentation, experienced site management and a focus on getting it right first time. Operating across Exeter and Devon, we work with developers, contractors and civil engineers who need reliable delivery on technically demanding sites.

Why Choose JMJ Groundworks For Civil Engineering?

We combine engineer-led precision with practical site experience to deliver civil works that pass inspection first time.

Technical Capability
We work directly from engineer’s drawings, specifications and site investigations to deliver accurate foundations, earthworks and infrastructure with correct levels, tolerances and sequencing from the outset.

Quality Construction Methods
All works use proven construction methods and materials sourced from established suppliers, selected to meet loading requirements, ground conditions and long-term performance standards.

Modern Plant and Site Control
Our fleet includes GPS-enabled machinery, laser levelling equipment and compaction testing tools, ensuring precision across technically demanding sites with full supporting documentation.

QHSE-led Delivery
Every project follows a structured Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental framework, with site-specific risk assessments, method statements and controls protecting land, services and personnel.

Our Civil Engineering Capabilities

We deliver a full range of civil engineering works to suit your site conditions, programme and project requirements, from early groundworks through to infrastructure installation.

Groundworks and Foundations

Strip, Trench and Pad Foundations
Installed to engineer’s drawings and ground conditions, providing stable load-bearing support for residential, commercial and industrial structures.

Ground-Bearing & Reinforced Slabs
Construction of concrete slabs to specified depths, reinforcement schedules and tolerances, suitable for buildings, yards and service areas.

Earthworks & Site Preparation

Bulk Excavation & Cut-and-Fill
Efficient movement and regrading of materials to achieve required site levels, formation and falls, including removal or reuse of spoil where appropriate.

Site Clearance & Formation Works
Preparation of sites for construction, including reduced dig, formation layers and sub-base installation to specification.

Below-Ground Services & Infrastructure

Foul, Surface Water & Utility Ducting
Installation of below-ground services in coordination with drainage, utilities and future access requirements.

Access Roads, Hardstandings & Kerbing
Construction of access routes, loading areas and external works, built to withstand traffic loads and long-term use.
