What we do

Concrete structures, start to finish

Whether it's a foundation package or a full reinforced concrete frame, the same team sets out, shutters, fixes the steel and pours it — so the programme doesn't stall at the handovers.

Reinforced Concrete Frames

Complete in-situ reinforced concrete frames — cores, columns, beams, slabs and stairs — taken from setting out through to strike. Shuttering, reinforcement and pour under one subcontract, so the frame stays on one programme and one point of responsibility.

Wall formwork erected and aligned

Formwork & Shuttering

Traditional timber shuttering and proprietary panel systems, erected, aligned and struck by our own gangs. Walls, columns, soffits and edges built to line and level, so the concrete comes out square and the finish needs no making good.

Reinforcement cage fixed ready for pour

Steel Fixing & Reinforcement

Reinforcement cut, bent and fixed to the engineer's bar bending schedules. Cages, mats and starter bars fixed with the right cover and spacing, ready for inspection before anything gets covered up.

Concrete being placed and compacted

Concrete Pouring & Finishing

Placing, vibrating and finishing — by pump, skip or chute depending on access. Poured to the specified mix, compacted properly and finished to the tolerance the follow-on trades actually need.

Foundation excavation and footings

Groundworks & Foundations

The substructure everything else sits on. Excavation, footings, pads, pile caps and ground beams, set out accurately and cast to the engineer's design, with muck away handled as part of the package.

Power-floated ground-bearing slab

Slabs & Hardstandings

Ground-bearing slabs, industrial floors and external concrete. Laid to falls where they need it, power-floated where the spec calls for it, and cured properly so they don't craze or dust.

Why G&A

One package, one point of contact

Concrete goes wrong at the handovers — between the groundworker, the shuttering gang, the steel fixers and the concrete gang. We do all four, so there's nobody to pass the blame to and nothing to fall between the gaps.

  • Set out and fixed to your structural engineer's drawings and bar bending schedules
  • Our own gangs on site, so setting out, shuttering and steel stay in step
  • Written, itemised quotations — labour, plant, formwork and concrete separated out
  • Realistic programme durations quoted up front rather than optimistic ones
  • Sites left clean and safe at the end of every shift

How it works

From first phone call to final sign-off

  1. Enquiry & drawings

    Send us the tender pack, the GA drawings or the engineer's details. We'll tell you quickly whether it's a job for us and what we'd need to price it.

  2. Take-off & fixed quotation

    We measure the concrete, formwork and reinforcement off your drawings and come back with a written quotation that itemises labour, plant and materials.

  3. Setting out & shuttering

    We set out from your grid, erect and align the formwork, then fix the reinforcement ready for the engineer's inspection.

  4. Pour, strike & hand over

    Concrete placed, compacted and finished, shutters struck when the cubes allow, and the structure handed over ready for the follow-on trades.

Who we work with

Main contractors, developers and civils clients

Main contractors

Subcontract concrete packages priced off your tender drawings and built to your programme, with the RAMS and paperwork your site needs.

Developers & housebuilders

Foundations, substructure and frames for residential schemes, phased so plots are released in the order you need them.

Industrial & commercial

Pad foundations, ground-bearing slabs and frames for units, warehousing and distribution buildings.

Civils & infrastructure

Retaining walls, plinths, bases and in-situ structures where the reinforcement detail matters more than the square metres.
