Why Choose JMJ Groundworks?
Proven on housing schemes where programme and precision matter
Housing schemes for councils and housing associations often run to fixed programme dates, with little room for slippage. That’s exactly the kind of work we’re used to.
At School Close in Bampton, our foundation pads had to be accurate and ready on time so modular homes could be craned straight into position. We hit every deadline set for our works, then completed the drainage, retaining walls and external works around the finished homes. Our client has continued to appoint us on further projects since. Whether your scheme is modular, traditional build or commercial, you’ll get a consistent team, our own plant and a groundworks package delivered to programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Tiverton Groundworks Projects
Have you worked on projects near Tiverton?
Yes. We delivered the groundworks for School Close in Bampton, a modular affordable housing development for Mid Devon District Council, completed over around 12 months. The package included foundation pads, drainage, utilities, king-post retaining walls and external works.
Do you work on local authority and housing association schemes?
Yes. We've delivered groundworks on affordable housing for Mid Devon District Council and understand the fixed programmes, coordination and standards these schemes involve. We're comfortable working within the reporting and site requirements that come with public sector projects.
Do you deliver external works and landscaping as part of the package?
Yes. Alongside the core groundworks, we complete the external works that finish a development, including block paving, kerbing, bike and shed bases, hard landscaping and topsoil reinstatement.
How quickly can you mobilise to a Tiverton site?
Tiverton is well connected to our Exeter base via the M5 and A361, so our teams and plant can reach sites quickly. Start dates depend on our workload, so share your programme with us as early as possible and we'll plan resources around it.
Can you work alongside other contractors on a busy site?
Drainage is planned from the start rather than added as an afterthought. We install foul, surface water and land drainage to the correct falls with proper bedding, so it copes with heavy and prolonged rainfall. We've also delivered remedial land drainage on sites where the original systems had failed.
Can you work alongside other contractors on a busy site?
Yes. On many projects, we're one of several contractors on site. We coordinate closely with the main contractor and other trades so each stage of work follows on without delay, which is especially important on modular and fast-track schemes.
