Civil works
Site clearing, earthworks, foundations, retaining walls, stormwater drainage and paving preparation.
Overview
The groundwork everything else depends on
Civil works set the levels, bearing and drainage that a building relies on for the rest of its life. Teljoy Construction handles site clearing, excavation and earthworks, cut-and-fill and compaction, concrete works, foundations, ground slabs and retaining walls, stormwater drainage and road and paving preparation.
Because civil and building works run under one programme, earthworks, platforms and foundations are planned around the building that follows them, not handed over at a boundary between contractors.

Building and civil works are delivered by the same team under one programme, so foundations, slabs and superstructure are sequenced against a single critical path.
How it is delivered
